That sucks. If Takara & Hasbro are sincere about creating adult collectors items in the Masterpiece line, they should build this stuff to last for decades.

Why can't Transformers be made with the same grade of plastic as Lego?

plastic will not easily deteriorate... the parts that's easily deteriorate are metal and rubber. metal will rust over time and rubber will harden and broke into pieces. and chrome part will also fade after some time.

Buy and display - that's my take on my toys. Keep MiSB also useless, money spent but can't enjoy the engineering marvel (tongue.gif) that is the MPs.

I display all my MPs once I got my cabinet..and never regretted them. Everyday also I see my 'babies' when I reach home from a hard days work thumbup.gif

Honestly speaking, Uranos is the most fiddly combiner that i ever handled. Blackbird's arms that peg onto the sides of the torso doesn't lock into place, coz it's just a peg slot into a peg hole. It's elbows are the combiner joint, so if you move the combiner arms to the side? The pegs will pop off from Blackbird's arm away from the torso.

Blackbird's hip joints are suitable for him, but as a combiner, it's weak so i don't suggest posing him in some dramatic poses too much.

His chest plate for the drone, is fiddly and tends to move out of place if you nudge it a little.

Hmm... In that case I wonder if there will be a 2nd revision for Uranos. The 1st batch of Hercules figures also had some issues which are rectified upon the 2nd revision release. hmm.gif

yup.. im not too fond wit tfc combiner connector type .. they tend to get loose in time, and maybe one day, you wont be able to connect the limbs together without falling off ...

maketoys connector mech is much better and the limbs doesnt feel flimsy

there's a 2nd revision of hercules .. it's not the built, it's the peg connector .. tfc should think of a new limb locking to solve this problem
