I wish Hasbro still had permission to sell these directly. I'm sure it would be $100 cheaper. 

This thing is WAY to expensive for how under-designed it is. I mean, would it KILL them to include turbines in the chest?!? The slavishness to the cartoon esthetic, while ballooning the price to ridiculous levels is insulting.

I mean, it saves me a lot of money I guess, but it is also a huge waste of time when they should be working on an MS Jazz, MS Warpath, MS Kup, MS Galvatron, MS Scourge, etc. SO MANY other MS figures we need before another (overpriced) Prime or Seeker mold!

I don't know about under designed. It appears to have way more articulation than mp11. I'm amazed they gave it butterfly joints. And the way the hands can actually cradle his hips.
