JUST WONDERING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE MASTERPIECE MP-1B or MP-01

[OMEGA]

i just noticed something weird on his lower waist area that seems to look like a scar, just like on his 2 shoulders, does anyone else have this certain scar on the lower right waist?

I have Mp-01b and the mp-01 (one with the the trailer) I don't notice any "scar" type dealie, can you post a pic to show off the area you mention?

[justprime]

can you provide a photo?is it the North American release or the Japanese?

Is that the hasbro release. It came with battle damage to match the 86 movie. It has scars. I know that japanese mp01 none of them had a scar.

this is just a wild guess, but i think what the OP meant is those light "vein" lines that you see on the grey plastic or red plastic?

yeah its on the grey plastic underneath the windshield. lol just doesnt look natural to me i'l post some pics soon

i think its because takara is starting to use cheaper plastic throughout this decade, it appears on the japanese version of MP rodimus as well on the red shoulders, as well as the foot pads on the 2010 predaking reissue, i think some of the lighter color plastic is prone to these veins

honestly, i dont think there is much anybody can do about it; its more like a QC thing
