    I like to put the masterpiece line OUT of the chogokin topic. Masterpiece is already what it is. They have increased the quality by painting their figures atm. Diecast is not in topic because Takara isn't changing their flow of things. (I moved on) This doesn't mean I have to Love and kiss their arse to justify their increase in pricing. When they do release a nice figure, I do acknowledge it. While is a (I move on) situation, I find Fantoys as my solution of what I wanted from Masterpiece line. If you ask me, the 3p Masterpiece Primes are nice designs from MS and TE but they both lack a serious thing and is as simple as paint to match ironhide and inferno. < This is a deal breaker for me, may not for many, and hence why I look at MP44 as my choice of replacing my mp-10.

    So lets talk about Titanius? Here's the thing, its a total mismatch. I seriously not being OCD here, just have a look at your own picture. You are putting two very nicely done up figure on a cheapo plastic looking white dino. S. If a company didn't do it right and in this instance I do feel its below the CHOGOKIN line standards, I say it.

    What would I change? I say the white on the plastic. It feels cheap, it doesn't feel like it belongs to this< I personally would take a darker hint of greyish white to give a more mature look. The neck with the grey bits maybe make it more metallic? I mean look at the grey bits? It feels too kiddish? And you look and the Dragonzord silver arm, look how well is it done up? Or alternatively use pearl white which gives a metallic white to it. Some how the white on this piece is off putting than complimenting.

    Maybe look at VF-1J DX Chogokin white? If you have the toy you notice it isn't the white like Titanius.

    Here's the thing if its going to cost me MORE to have a nice figure, I would pay it rather than paying for something that makes the other two look way better and this guy just makes the combined mode look bad.
    I am definitely considering flipping mine off.

    Maybe best way to compare is when my Godmas soc comes and we can see the difference in the White parts? My GGG white lion doesn't feel cheap, the Ideon soc on white bits is very nice white.
    Considerably I hated my Metal build Red Astray White, is the same deal with this piece. The Blue Metabuild Astray looks like Bandai changed it.

    In my opinion, I don't like this figure, For 22,000jpy I didn't feel it was worth that much and thats not even RRP Bandai is asking. Mind you I hardly kick a fuss in the soc line, but I feel this was a first.

    You may not be a Tetsujin 28 fan, but Action Toys Heavy Metal T-28 is my vote for the chogokin toy of 2019.
