It’s not perfect but I think it’s a big improvement over MP-21.
I completely disagree. The only viewing angle where this thing looks right, is front on. The heel machetes (calling them heel spurs is like calling Mt Kosciusko a large hill) on the back of the feet are way worse than the clown shoes on V1.0 and while the chest may be slightly smaller (the other chest, though not as flat as cartoon accurate, wasn't bad), the backpack on this is twice as horrendous.Quote:

Yeah, the backpack on MP45 is a mess, compared to MP21. The poseability is a plus and the colour is spot-on.
These sorts of announcements are bittersweet because we get great looking figures with cartoon accuracy, yet we wonder what to do with the V1.0 figures that have beem sitting in our collection. And let’s not even start on the rumoured price...
TT have shown they’re not holding back on redesigning their figures. Seekers 3.0 is not a question of if but when. :mad:
After seeing the price. I am done with MPs. Exit out of this line. It was great, urm wait not so great.
I can clearly see why TT decided not to release hound now.
I think he looks great. Love the head sculpt.
It's not just the backpack though. Can anyone honestly tell me that when you compare the clown shoes on V1.0 which are at least in proportion, with the back to front diving flippers on V2.0, that the update's feet are in any way, shape or form an improvement, the moment you look at them from any angle other than squarely front on and with the figure standing straight up and square?Quote:

“Screen accurate”? Show me a screen shot of any episode with those feet and backpack!:rolleyes::D
Oh man, this thing sucks. I'm not even going to try and be diplomatic.
