the KFC Ultra Magus is more and more impressive

Some parts are hard to tab because they don't want to stay tabbed (legs, 2 front panels), if you lift the truck, the cab flops down (nothing to lock it in place), one panel that hides the matrix doesn't want to close completely, it just keeps popping up... An ok display piece, but it's no MP. Far from that. It's not even as good as a legit Transformer. It's just... okay. Actually, it reminds me of Trailerforce, probably the most disappointing 3rd party product I own. Looks good, doesn't feel good.

I'm surprised to read that, Pascal.

I followed the TFW2005 KFC stack thread very closely, because I do want to buy this figure. Most of the feedbacks I read is how good this figure is, people said they are not regretting buying this after seeing the MP22's picture, because what a nice figure this one is, some people even said MP22 looks bad compare to KFC one.

I guess they exaggerated, I will trust your opinion more for sure.

Well most man children will defend their bad decisions which is why they are sayign Stacks is better than TT's MP-22.

I knew, even after reviews, there is no way KFC used good plastic for Stacks. They don;t knwo what good plastic is yet..or care.

No, I really think the plastic is good (although it does feel thin in the cab section, due to transformation and design), it's probably the type of joints used that are making the figure feel "soft", I can't put my finger on it right now. The parts that are hard to tab do end up tabbing, but the problem might be due to tolerances that are just a tiny bit off.

You've always loved cheapformers anyway.

I don't see an issue.

Just buy the real thing dude.

[Pascal]

You've always loved being cheap, period.

[Buhawi]

Why should I pay full price?

[MeisterJ4zz]

Awesome! But I'm waiting for the official Takara masterpiece.
