Ultimetal UM01 Optimus Prime

[Ultra Mackness]

Looking closer at the photos, is there a mis-allignment of the chest panels, like the issue with MP-01?

I like it a lot as an homage to the character from G1, similar to the character busts.

If the price was around $200 I'd jump at it, but at the current asking price, it's a pretty, hypothetical centrepiece for me.

Given the flaws of MP-5, a statue of Megatron would make a lot more sense. .

Just out of interest and heading off topic, what would you say are the flaws to MP5?

In a word: Proportions. Mostly his skinny legs. However, his chest is too wide and arms too short and thin as well.

MP-5 also had QC problems such as rusting feet and a fragile waist joint.

It's certainly a nice display piece. But I'd rather a Megatron one.

It's only 43cm... a bit disappointing, especially at over AU$800.

4 foot?
It lists the item size as 430mm, according to Google Translate.

It. Is. Not. Meant. To.

Price does not reflect what you'll actually get. It is a lovely, detailed figure, but for that kind of coin you can get alot more value for money.

Why would you need a remote control for just a few lights and noises? How lazy can you get?
