Lolicon Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Is Megatron the same size as Prime? Robot mode, of course. I might have to consider getting one if he is. Talking about the the official Takara version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) MP Megatron is a little bit taller than MP Optimus and they look great together. Looking back at my collection pics, I must have gotten the 1/60 CF VF-1J (Kakizaki's would be colored VF-1J) a long time ago for cheap. Is this a rare Valk? Anyway, I much prefer my HMR CFs all consistently colored. Edited April 20, 2017 by sh9000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I think the reason the Yamato CF VF-1J is lighter color is because, in the scene where he is shown training, Hikaru's CF VF-1J is a very pale brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tking22 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I finally got my MP-36 Megatron delivered to work and...I'm unimpressed. I paid $183 plus shipping, and I feel that is a bit too much, I think the roughly $160 plus shipping that the early pre-order people paid is the sweet spot for this guy, and I absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND him at the current $230+ pricing, that price is frakking laughable, truly absurd. I got two laughing faces, a commonly reported QC issue, the gun barrel on his back is floppy, another unfortunately reported QC issue, and he has a nice little scratch on his nose. My biggest issue, and I knew about this already going in so it's on me, is that stupid, horrible, awful looking Con symbol on his chest. Takara included a neat chest swap gimmick, you can put on a battle damaged chest from the original animated movie, and yet Takara didn't think to include a chest with a proper, clean and accurate Con logo on it? Seems baffling to me. Not a single other MP Con Takara has released has a symbol like that, it blends with nothing, and I know when I put him next to Soundwave it's going to stick out even worse, I thought maybe when I got him in hand it wouldn't bother me as much, but it's the opposite, he's sitting on my work desk and all I can look at is that stupid ass symbol on his chest. The proportions bug me more in person too, but once again, I knew about all that going in so it's my fault. Legs are a bit too long, chest is too small, head is too big. It's all toon accurate, but unflattering in hand. Another problem I have is Takara taking the wrong notes from Third Party, I REALLY don't want a ton of stupid "that one time in that one episode" accessories, that may do it for some, but like with many Third Party MP these days, I want that money put into the figure itself. All this superfluous crap I probably won't even take out a single time, it's very annoying, put that money in the figure! 19 hours ago, Lolicon said: Is Megatron the same size as Prime?

Unless you've got money to spend, or really, really want him, I can't personally recommend him at the $230+ he's going for now at most sites. I'd wait for a re-issue or re-paint.

sh9000 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) 2 more HMR Monsters and 1 more CF VF-1A came in. Amiami's damaged box Monster was only a few dents. The Monsters are packed in styrofoam so no problem. Now that makes 3 Monsters to display and 1 to still keep MISB.

No, it was ¥59,980 on Amiami (Pre-owned ITEM:B/BOX:B) that's what had me a little worried but the box is in excellent shape and aside from the parts applied to the ARMDs everything is mint. I used a bunch of Amiami points so it brought it down to around $540 shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
