Target's MP04 Optimus Quality Issues (serious enough to be news-worthy)

[jaydisc]

I've got one that seems quite fine. The red paint on the two cab windshield halves doesn't match, but that's it. However, I have no point of reference (My 1st MP). Perhaps STL or someone else that's seen mine can comment on their more experienced thoughts.

I have another that I'll be opening shortly and will report back on.

I've just opened the spare i've bought from Target...

Besides, the minor paintjob and machine mark problems seen in other figures
Nothing seems wrong with the Prime figure, no missing parts.
I might be wrong as I have not taken it out entirely.

well.... i think that is not worth it in no means because even the box was strap with security devices and that really stuff up the box hardcore.... it looks worst than second hand.... man target has no idea what their doing..

Whether this is a batch of defectives or just a batch of shocking QC, TakaraTomy should be ashamed of themselves for producing/selling this lot.

The stupid make-up gun battle damage on my 20th Anniversary Prime never looked so good

After all this commotion about QC I opened my MP4 and transformed him just to make sure nothing was awry...

Unfortunately, it seems that he is like the majority of Target's offering, a very rough example. This guy has patchier paint than any of the Titanium 6" figures I have ever seen - and that is saying a lot! The trailer, by contrast, is indeed as close to perfect as plastic goods get At least he is anatomically correct but for $200 I expected the toy to exceed the fit and finish of more expensive mainstream lines like the binaltech series rather than aim for 'classics' quality
