Toy Review - JP Masterpiece Rumble & Jaguar

[philby]

so after debating and waiting a while i decided to get one of these with some other purchases on ebay. i seem to have a bad QC version which is annoying. I've watched a couple of videos and I don't think it is the KO version but with these it is very hard to tell it seems.

My issues are that the Decepticon logo tampograph on Rumble is off-centre and his left hand and part of the arm seem to be perhaps painted shut or something. I can't flick out the hand and I can't move it at the elbow joint at all not matter how hard i try. There is definitely some sloppy or extra silver paint in those areas. FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

One thing that might be interesting is that it seems to be a Hasbro China version or something. On the box there is a white sticker or label covering part of the box with chinese writing, phone numbers and hasbro.com.cn web link. I have a separate Chinese instruction sheet as well as the Japanese one.

I will contact the seller about options.

White sticker on box? KO Im afraid
Can you post a pic of the box to be sure?

[philby]

Ok sure. The figure and box both have C2414 on them, whereas in online reviews I have seen A2113.

How well do the guns tab into his back?

I've found with the KO's that it's very loose.

I recommend exercising your consumer rights and asking for a refund/exchange as the product is defective (I'm assuming that it wasn't in the description). Another reason why I never use eBay... (-_-)

Ok that looks orite, beat up but orite

The white sticker that gives away a KO is the one visible on the top of the box seen on the right hand side MP box in this vid:

Otherwise it just looks like you got unlucky with the qc

I lucked out with mine too because my Rumble came with two of the same side piledriver, but I contacted TakaraTOMY and got replacement parts. But that was because mine was purchased in Japan. As a toy that's been purchased outside of Japan I would recommend contacting the seller for recompense which you are legally entitled to as the product is not fit for its purpose.
