Motto: "Are those my feet?"
Weapon: 20 Megavolt Stun Rifle
Not blown away by Ultra Magnus, shall wait for better piccys but he does look blocky. Hopefully some detailing on the legs will be added to break up those massive clumps of single colours.

I do like the grey/purple version in the background, even though it is a proto.

It looks to me like the angle combined with all the dark shapes in the background could be making him look a little more stalky and fat in the midsection than the prototype pics.....I'm still stoked;)

Citizen Stack just looks better to me. I'm not impressed.

That should not be a true statement.


But really. Third party toys are expensive because of the overhead and limited production. Yet citizen stack looks better AND nearly matches the cost? Shame on you Takara/Tomy. If third party can do better AND match you in price you are doing it wrong.

At this juncture, I think my problem with MP-22 is that he's so bulky, it looks like there should be a small white robot in there.

Citizen Stack "doing better" is a matter of opinion and conjecture at this point.

Have you seen citizen Stack? its a stack of Sh*t. Check it out some none section reviews where the reviewer isn't getting it for free.

Why didn't the designers make the white ramps rotate to the knee cap? It looks strange the way it is and seems like such an easy design adjustment.

Well, as no one has reviewed this yet, it's not a fair comparison. My argument of pricing still stands.

How can Takara/tomy continue to price masterpieces the way they do when a smaller company with fewer resources can price it nearly the same?

In the argument I'm making it doesn't matter that Stack is better. It's that it is third-party and comparable in price.




And anyway, the MP-22 looks like a big brick o' sh*t to me. I'm sorry but if official companies really can't improve on cost and design then they should just let third party companies design these things and use their infrastructure to mass-produce them. Then we will get good toys at good prices.

Everything I've seen has it about $180. Is that old data?

Japanese websites sell it for $121-142. Already sold out on Anime-Export and Ami Ami, but still available for pre-order on HLJ.

It's a prototype (likely made of resin), those things always have loose joints and are very fragile. The person who displayed it did the mistake of trying to put it in a dynamic pose, which the prototype can't handle.

Damn, that latest pic =P~

Well Citizen Stack has been out and its priced like that cause it's pretty hollow and its joints are wearing down already.
