His head and foot fell off as i removed him from the packaging! Argh! His pistons keep slipping out ! Argh! He can't hold his gun tightly! Argh! If you can afford it, buy MP-01 instead.

 

No re-issue Prowl or Inferno, though.

Dont be so sure, MP-01 dosent hold the gun well either, same for the head coming of when forced.

Yayyyy!  The mold is worn out.

 

I wouldn't be suprised if MP04 has the same problem.  - With Tomy in cost cutting mode, Hasbro and Takara are probably using the same production line on that toy.

:pfx  anyone that hasnt got hold of one yet then do so from one of the older runs or the current one, even by the time magnus came around the mold was suffering. already had to varnish the joints on mine anyway.

my 20th (black gun vers) doesn't have any probs with his head but MAN his feet fall off constantly

 

oh yea... this is a uk thread, well... as i'm not from the uk mine was the original US run of the fig... so it doesn't suprise me that the uk is having probs... as for his blaster you almost hafta fix his hand to hold the gun, slide the gun in, and then cinch the thumb around it to keep it strait.

well i got 1 2oh annie prime and the vents in the leg were shafted but the legs were alot stiffer then my original MP convoy

 

i replaced my 20th annie prime but im keeping it MISB

did pretty much the same blitz, had an MP01 in its early days, and whilst the figure itself is fantastic the joints etc. were just plain bad. particularly the lower legs where they slide up over the thigsh, one was incredibly tight and the other was so loose every now and then it would just fall down. i only had it a while and sold it on again, the UK 20th Prime is pretty tight and in general quality i havent found anything really noticeable ( loose joints ignored ) from the originals.

I finally got mine from the Brentcross TRU yesterday and my 20th OP has the same problem with its legs as your MP01 had, they won't lock in place due to the weight of the cab and the left leg keeps sliding over the knee joint. Also has anyone here bought those long smokestacks from Ages 3 and up, are they any good? They're a bit expensive at £5.90 and I'm not sure if the P&P's included. I can't stand those stupid short stacks.

well i hear thier good im not getting a set (no point i have MP1)
