>>6535619So I take it you hate the mp line?
Ok let me break it down, many of us, either us older folk who grew up with g1, or those edgy try hards who want to be all superior and shit, have come to like complex figures, why, because we've grown up and we want something that has grown with us.
Many times in a shop I would hear parents moan "man this looks like shit", one time they did say "they were much better as a kid", the later here I laugh at because back in our days they were just as simple, just chunkier and filled with diecast, essentially if its in retail, we should expect it to be simple, when the mp line came out I was thrilled to finally get figures that have "grown" to my taste, I can have my man toys and kids have their own toys, simple.
What shits me however is the discrepancies happening, movie toys tried so hard to match their on screen counterparts and as a result made them quite difficult, but it also made me expect something from each size class, deluxe should be easy mode, voyager in the middle and leaders should be for those like myself (older teens/adults/manchildren).
Now we got bullshit like cw leader megatron that I was able to transform blind, eyes closed, figured him out in just under 5 mins, I know people complained but now retail figures are all the same, size class just says how big it is and how much, nothing about the complexity, even leader rotf jetfire is much more complicated than TR leader skyshadow fucking hell.
But at the same time I don't want them like rubix cubes, there has to be a middleground, the mp cars before tracks hit a sweet spot from what I would expect from a voyager figure and thus their overall size, mp10 is PERFECT for his height, mp21 is appropriate if overpriced for what he is, then we have mp36 and THAT was unnecessarily complex, none of its transformation even homaged its g1 counterpart which is something most of the mp's baring mp ultra magnus have done before it.
TLDR I have expectations
