>>6438888I understand people liking the silver better, but that picture is a perfect example of what I'm talking about - photos and videos rarely capture the metallic grey in a way that looks good. I honestly think it's just one of those figures that cannot be photographed well.
The transformation is fine. I'm not sure why that's a problem for people. the arms can be a bit of a pain in the ass when you have to finally tab them together at the end, and they could probably make the tab at the end of them both that does under the barrel section longer, as well as refining some of the tolerances, but it's not bad at all and is quite enjoyable, I find.
The price isn't really going to go down though. I still don't understand the price complaint, because he is only ¥1000 or ¥2000 yen more than MP-10 Prime and Ultra Magnus, if I remember correctly. The bulk of the added cost comes from the exchange rate and shipping for Americans.
I mean, I get that it's expensive for you guys, but you have to take into consideration that TakaraTomy didn't go "OH, LET'S SCREW OVER AMERICANS!" because actually, they literally don't care about you guys. Nor do they care about me or anyone else that isn't Japanese. Yeah, it sucks that it's pricey but I don't think it's not worth it or anything. I just think he's a good, solid and finally OFFICIAL Masterpiece Megatron... and not MP-05 (which I also have, and I still prefer MP-36 hands-down, even colour-wise, to be honest).
Oh, and again, the colours in general really aren't that flat in person. It's the one thing I don't like about MP-36 - that he doesn't photograph well. I was legitimately surprised by how much nicer he looked in person when I got him in-hand.
Then again, it's still up to personal tastes, and I'm not here to tell you that you're wrong, just that it looks a bit better in person.
I'm also the guy who likes MP-05 even though it's a clusterfuck that I'd recommend to a grand total of absolutely no one, so, you know...
