Re: Biggest letdown of the year
Okay, I just took a closer look at my other MP figures. The difference is that Tracks is molded from a high-quality plastic to give his sparkly blue colour and it is NOT paint. The difference is that the other figures are covered in paint. That gives them that iPod-like sheen and a touch more weight. The plastic colour choice for Tracks actually works and makes him the most evenly-coloured MP yet but slightly less heavy. SLIGHTLY. That's really the only difference.
In terms of an overall quality comparison... he's pretty much dead-on to what they have been doing. Perhaps others are looking at the past releases through rose-coloured glasses. OR, perhaps it's the fact that this was announced and paid for via pre-order in MARCH and it's been so long that expectations were unreasonably high. That's like holding off for eight months and only getting the tip in before you explode. I'd be disappointed too. Take it slow and enjoy the ride. Let Raoul guide you with his Blaster.
TLDR; he's a masterpiece and fits in perfectly with the others.
