All things transformers!!!!
So, I finally got my "loose 2nd version MP09" opened.
First of all, this IS NOT a knock off. It is the real deal. How they got their hands on it, and how it exists I really don't know. Something tells me this guy is/was planned to be reissued, as this mould feels really different.
This thing feels like a tank. Everything just feels right, the backpack attaches and stays in place even if you shake it. He can actually hold his guns as well, but he cant still wrap his hands around them. Everything really stays in place compared to V01 and Hasbro's release. He comes with every single thing the original release came with, except for the box, bio card and instructions.
There's a couple of paint imperfections of the trailer that are really minimal. Nothing to get worked over really.
I haven't transformed him yet, but as sturdy as he feels, I really don't feel that I have to be as careful as I was when he was originally released.
I paid $180 shipped, and I think that was a good deal. Considering how expensive a V02 is now, you are basically paying a little less than the original retail price.
I'd say get it if you need him in your collection of if you are tired of seeing that grey mess Hasbro released (TRU Version) And if you have a V01, sell it loose and get this.
