Toy Review - JP Masterpiece Alert (Red Alert)

[Kazza]

anyone have issues with his "hand" gun not staying in his hands well/ at all

Yup but only in his left hand, sometimes it falls out straight away when i peg it in, but lately it has been ok.

Have acquired this little gem, and I am quite pleased with him. Do have the problem with the gun popping out of the hand but it is his right for mine not the left. but all over a great piece to go into the MP line. Even thou I didn't receive the coin with RA.

Neither of the hands on my Red Alert hold the gun correctly if I try to fully close them over. If I leave the hands gently closed around the gun then the gun stays securely in place. Maybe try that?

Anyone know why we get a hasbro madecoin/medallion and not a takara one?

Yeah thats what my red-alert suffers from, if you close the hands and the gun will come off the pegs.

Masterpiece with fake faux vehicle parts?

Avoids.

didnt both versions of prime have 2 different front grill things? one for robot one for car? isnt that the same as having fake wheels on shoulders? :S

I've had a play with mine, quite like him though I think Sideswipe is better. Alert has a little bit better QC on the paint, but his grip is a little loose.

I actually like the crazy light show attachment for his head. It attaches much better than I expected, and makes it look like his Spider Sen..... uh Red Alert Senses are tingling. .

Yup Red Alert is following in Primes footsteps. Faking it is an MP tradition (at least for the Autobots), till someone invents morphing plastic.

I will love that day when we get morphing plastic.

Mine can't hold his gun.

There's a paint chip (which I'm noting because, well, people do. But it doesn't worry me)

The paint around the front of the windshield is horribad. Sloppy. Too sloppy for the cheapest class, let alone something on an MP level.

The shoulders. Man, they're weird. My 'Swipe's don't do this at all. They keep disliking from the joint very quickly, and without much force or flexion. Sure it's a minor, easy fix, and it's irrelevant for something that goes into cabinets. It's just so annoying against how beautiful it is with SS.

And I don't want to worry anyone, but I swear that when I ran my hand along the side of the doors, I got minute red flakes of paint on my fingers. Hmm.

Still a very nice MP. I'm just a bit disappointed. The mold looked more Red than Swipe, but SS is a clear victor. Everything is nice, tight and perfect on my SS, and the paint is immaculate and flawless. RA had the front windshield-to-dash painted by a trained bear on heroin.

Curious, my RA hold is shoulder much more securely than SS. you must have received a mega dud.
