Well i'll be damned, have had MP5 for 3 years or so and never noticed those!
Is Ebay the only option for finding a Hegemon now?
The positive comments are winning me over (wasn't sold at first cause i was hoping for MP Megs V2) but a quick scour of the usual stores doesn't give much hope of finding one.

Chiumungmung still has him as of this moment. I've bought from Tony a couple of times now and have never had a hassle - he even threw in a sheet of Decepticon logos with my FP Insecticons that came in handy for a few things...
Ebay prices are not too bad either given the circumstances. This one here has free shipping:

Didn't realise Chimungmung had him. I've bought from that site once and my experience was the same as yours.
I'll probably go with one of the eBayers. Free shipping from Chinese/Taiwanese sellers has not been too bad. I've bought a lot from them in recent years and have not had any negative experiences. Looking at a few big buys this month and would like to go for the cheapest prices![]()
Still appears to be available at yahobby.com too

Hegemon is one cool figure!
I enjoy the transformation and size of the figure. Great looking sculpt, imposing form and awesome light piping!
However, he doesn't go well with Faith Leader. I'm looking forward to TW's IDW style Optimus that was rumoured once upon a time (May 2012)
Hegemon does however have some loose joints here and there that impede the enjoyment of the poseability that exists on the sculpt.
In particular, the side lateral joints on both arms are way loose when you have something in his hands (or on the right arm, his fusion cannon)
I still do recommend this toy for anyone who hasn't picked him up though - he's a fits in a lot better on my Decepticon shelf than the Henkei/Classics.
More photos to come![]()
