^ I'm also curious about this... Does the one with the translucent hand & cannon also light up? If anyone can explain the differences, that'd be great.

I've dealt with both Automaton and Ages 3+ Up, and have had great transactions with both.

These 3rd Party companies are really gouging us with these prices.

You should see what the prices were for this figure on eBay, that was gouging.

I would have to disagree, considering his secondary mark up was in the $350-700 USD wich some have paid not me. Also I would have to think that at his size if TT was to release an MP Shockwave that his price point would be that of $189.99-220.99 USD with a pre-order price of 1650 yen at our respected Asian retailers, so at 159.99 USD I don't see an issue with their pricing. It is Hasbro that is gouging us with ridiculous mark-up on the North American MP's imo

Well stated! With the pending reissue the grey version could be the only one going for ridiculous prices. Thankfully I was lucky enough to get a grey one from Toydojo at a reasonable retail price.

Only the eye and the cannon light up. If you want to swap the arm to move the hose around to the back where it should be, you'll lose the cannon light.

I cannot for the life of me figure out which one i want *sigh*

Is that true for this version? Maybe they fixed that. The hose assembly looks new so maybe they went the extra mile.

Btw the eyes look to be a different colour too, toy vs toon.

I'd be surprised if they did, retooling a mould is very pricey and they wouldn't need to do that if they just replaced the hose with a new one from another supplier. With Sever, Tesla and Spotter in production I don't feel they would have the resources for such an operation.
