My Ultra Magnus showed up today. Looks pretty good - no issues at all so far and seems a little better build than the Reissue Prime I got last time (about as good as my Nemisis Prime). I may try to get some pics this weekend.

Gold where did you get your pp01? so it has insignias??? Whoops, sorry for the very late reply, yes mine came with the insignias, though I'm not sure if I want to glue them on or not. The insignias came bagged with the clips for the cape and can't be seen clearly by just opening the box window. Gold

Got my Magnus yesterday, first off I have to say the cartoon heads make a world of difference. They now look like unique figures rather than just shrunken MP's, but I did have two problems. First off the ratchet joint on one of the arms is broken, I looked at and the only way to replace it is too pull out the pin and replace the assembly. I'm not gonna bother since I just tighten up the screws and the arm holds it's position. Second I had the same problem as others did with the chest doors not shutting all the way, I think it has something to do with the bumper part not going far back enough in robot mode and the two cylinder tabs are keep the doors from closing. I know if I tweak it it'll fit but I found a quick way around this is to just not rotate the bumper and just have the chrome part facing forward, you can't tell the difference through the windshield part. other then that I'm pretty happy with it and it looks great with mini Prime and Grimlock, but I'm so pleasantly surprised just how much those cartoon heads make a difference.

Those are pretty nice, not too crazy over the green eyes, though. Kinda like to see them do one for the Hasbro animated movie version with lighter blue and no chrome. That's my favorite take on the mold yet.

There still listing it as a prototype pic so who knows things could still change. My beef is I wish that these heads came with little necks attached like on the bases. It doesn't bother me to bad but I think it would look tons better if MP Prime had a neck even a little one instead of just a head on top of his shoulders.

I have a question about the Megatron gun accessory. Can you take off the stock and the silencer like the original Masterpiece accessory? And speaking of Megatron, what happened to him? Did Igear cancel the project?

Mini MP-05 is still on I Gear schedule... priority get first to the seekers. They told me it's gonna be for a 2011 release (oh yeah !) But we still don't know what in order come's first : Trailers (G1 trailer and Armor trailer for UM) or the GUN ! -> you can't take off the silencer to the Megatron gun mode accessory

I just placed an order for one. 18$ free shipping. Now what to do with the original head? Anyone remember that episode when Prime gets dismantled and the Decepticons converted his body into a alligator type bot? Well I guess I can have my MP Megatron hold it in is hands or something.

Put in an order for all three, at $50 with no shipping costs it's a steal. Now I just need to find room all my MP Primes are in truck mode to save space.

Nice review. I wonder when they will be shipping the heads out. I thought it was going to be the end of December, but I have not heard from them.

Why didn't they include Ultra Magnus' face that we all know from the cartoon instead of Albino Prime head?
Unless it'll be included with his trailer...

He'd look really funny having the armor head on the Optimus body. He'd just look naked.
