Haha heaven forbid! :D Yes I opened it because the box was a little dinged, not worth keeping MISB. I was expecting it would arrive like that from Amazon. Just have to hope my 2nd copy from PC arrives in nice enough shape to warrant keeping it sealed.
I should also note the chrome is so much better than that on Ironhide and Ratchet (which already had chrome wear right out of the box). It was perfect and I won't bother doing a clear coat on it since it will be hardly handled once on the shelf.
I have issue with the chrome on my MP Ironhide or Ratchet, although my Ratchet had a bit of flaking on the white paint. My mate's MP Hot Rod had major "chrome dandruff" though. :(
Added Grapple to my MP display. The orange really pops amongst the sea of red and blue.
Yeah he does make for a nice change of colour on my getting-overcrowded Autobot shelf.
Mine has really tight joints, to the point I wondered whether they actually were joints. I got mine displayed with the sun model thingy, makes a change from every other bot with a gun :)
Got sick of waiting for a certain online dealer and just bought one while I was in Japan (and for about $15 cheaper than said dealer's preorder price too). :rolleyes:
Anyway, now that I finally have my own MP Grapple I've been able to take more pics, so enjoy. :)

I've added the Toy Review detail proforma on the first post. I have also included both the pre and post tax RRP for this toy. The reason for this is because non-Japanese residents are tax-exempt on purchases of 5000JPY or more whereas those of you living in Japan are not.
I was fortunate in that I found my MP35 on sale at Yodobashi Camera and so as a non-Japanese resident I was able to stack my tax exemption on top of the sale price and paid about 10954JPY (AU$133), about $7 cheaper than PC only without the interminably long wait! :rolleyes:
Got my copy from Taiwan source.
I like this figure, I am just liking how it keeps the crane just like how inferno keeps the ladder.
The down points:
The arm is screaming becareful when you rotate.
The piston at the crane looks a lot plastic, and by that I mean cheap plastic.
The cover for the cannon and hands dont close properly
Plus side:
Good overall figure
lots of accessories,
lots of faces to choose.
I just realised...since he comes with the Solar Power Tower, you could arguably use it as part of a base display with Metrolex/Fortress Maximus/Omega Supreme.
Has anyone tried it, and if so how does it look?
