So what's your opinion on MP Thundercracker

[Adzma]

Hmm I'm still not sold on the idea. If only fans would protest against TakTom's lack of detail in full. Transformers are an expensive hobby, if something like this happened with Warhammer for arguements sake, people would not stand for it.

I have no problems with either my TC or reissue UM. Only flaw in Magnus is a little warping on the chest. Can't even see it unless your looking for mess ups.

Only thing I have against the seekers is the wobbly leg syndrome they ALL have. It's very annoying when attempting to pose them.

No they wouldn't not. Takara(TOMY) do have customer feedback services, including call centres. And Japanese fans would use them and do whinge lots on message boards like all good Transfans do. They whinged a lot before the merger with TOMY.. I don't frequent JP boards much since the merger, but I must imagine the whinge factor would still be there.

You should be our official whingebag Gok. Jump over to some Japanese fan forums and complain like there's no freakin' tomorrow.

I am curious to know what is the general Japanese mood on Tak-Tom's performance since the merger.

I hope it similar to the Western view on things., TakTom might actually pay attention to their local audience. You have to feel sorry for the poor Takara employees that are no doubt bound, gagged and shackled, kept under lock and key in Tomy's sanity room. It's just like the Chaser when they did their little invasion at TodayTonight's studio.

"Look! It's the quality control room!"
-"It looks like it's been abandoned for years!"

I'm often quick to point out that the so-called "European" Transformers were also released in Australia and New Zealand - and whenever people simply refer to them as just "European exclusives" I'm quick to point out that they were also released in Australia and NZ too. I would also do this lots on Japanese boards too. Before then, everyone in Japan (and internationally) just called them "European" - but then when Transformers Generations was published, the first section about European Transformers specifically states that those toys were also sold in Australia and New Zealand! A result of my persistent whinging on Japanese boards about it? I have no idea.

I know a Japanese Transfan who used to work for Takara (albeit under their Microman division, not TFs) and the way he's described it is that they (and another Japanese software company he used to work for) are perfectionists. He would produce these incredible designs that would be flatly rejected - and at the software company, he would even cop abuse from his manager. It's like those John West ads, about the fish that John West rejects that makes John West the best... Takara seems to be like that.

This was before the merger with Tomy. I don't personally know anyone who works for TakaraTOMY. :/
