    He also comes with a smaller matrix in his chest already, and you can't fit the bigger one in his chest. I hadn't realised he had 2 matrixs.

    He also comes with a sticker sheet that has 2 stickers for his biceps to make him look more G1. Don't think the JP version came with that. There are a couple of other differences I noticed, such as the colour of the headlight's plastic and quite a few other paint apps differences.

    Holds the guns fairly well, and no real QC issues on mine. Although you have to be careful with the leg panels, as they look like they would be pretty easy to snap if you are too rough with it.

    I will go into more detail when I get home and have a play with him again. But well worth the $80 pricetag.

    If someone can't get one for you locally, I will pick one up on Friday for you and post it to you if you like. Just let me know if someone gets you one by then.

    I think that I might actually get this one. Looks good and has some decent gear to go with it.

    So did this Hasbro release address the molding-problems as seen in the original MP-09 release?

    I voted no.

    Mostly because the left arm on mine somehow broke while sitting in a display cabinet. I believe the gun (resting most of its weight on the ground) is what caused the arm to snap.

    Hasbro QC wins again.

    Yeah, I also initially had difficulty getting the arms in properly too. I watched a video review and that sorted it out.
