Well I finally got to play with one tonight! (courtesy of The_Scream_Man )

Like MP Beast Convoy and other recent G1 MPs, MP Cheetus is slavishly cartoon accurate, which is great if you're into that sort of thing. It really feels like the character has just jumped out of your television and become a three dimensional toy. Much as with Convoy, Cheetus does a decent job in trying to conceal robot kibble in beast mode, but it's just not possible to completely cover all of it. And as I said with Convoy, this is due to the fact that a beast mode needs to look good from all angles, whereas vehicles typically only need to look good from above, front and sides. Many vehicular MPs have openly visible kibble on the underside. But all things considered, they've done a top notch job. The painstaking attention to detail is guano insane! I also like the choice of going with the light-piped eyes.

I still don't know if this toy is my cup of tea, but technically speaking it is a great toy. It's well worth the 7000JPY RRP, although I don't know if I'd pay much more than that if I were to get one.

The poll question doesn't ask people, "Would you buy it?", it asks if it's worth buying or not. I don't know if I'll get this toy, but in answer to the question of "Worth buying?" my answer is Yes (at RRP or less of course). Although this is also why the standard poll format (as established by griffin) has the "Not even interested" option so that people who have zero interest in the toy can vote for that without skewing results based on whether people think that the toy is worth purchasing or not.
