As you said, BW toys just don't have as far to go because a lot of modern toy engineering standards etc. were brought in during the BW period. But I take your point about MPs being the premium versions of these toys but I guess because the "distance" between BW and MP engineering isn't as great that they don't appeal to me as much as G1 MPs.

But to be fair to G1, they were also - relative to vintage and price - mostly also really brilliant figures too.
