I guess this should go here www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/mp-44-knee-fix.1180965/Out of the box the right knee on mine had the symptoms of being broken. Left was ok but after bending SLOWLY and with very little force....BOOM! no more ratcheting on the lower leg/knee. Doesn’t really hinder anything. Plus there is enough friction still to keep it from flopping around. I probably wouldn’t even have noticed that there was something wrong if I hadn’t already read about it TBH. That said, this is unaccepatble for a $450 figure. I know I’ll probably doing the fix which is easy but again I shouldn’t have to at this price ( I know I got it just around $330 but still) . On another note, he looks awesome! A lot more complicated to transform than the MP-10.  image upload |

I am not sure "A lot more complicated to transform than the MP-10" is something I look forward to.  |

Hey Kuma! Any issue with the knees on yours? Nopems.I guess the problem cones from people attempting to bend the knees a certain way? ------ And in regards to the transformation; Yes it's more complicated than mp 10 but realistically most mps are more complicated than mp 10 so it's not a great way to judge it. Reading the instructions step by step the first time I got a perfect transformation within ten minutes. There's a lot of twisting small parts particularly in the legs which makes it look a lot more complicated than it is on surface but it's all really quick. |

For those who haven’t received theirs yet. Please watch at around 10:00 of this video to see how to properly bend the legs.

Not going to lie, the bot mode on 44 is gorgeous!
But that reviewer is blind to it.

Other than the backpack and ankles he looks like the best version in the pics I have seen.

Fixed the knees! Guys, when you receive your copy, DO NOT bend the lower knee first. Always start at the upper knees then when that is at full bend only then should you bend the lower ones.

So, I need to ask those of you peeps who bought this: How many of you had "The Touch" going in your head as you were unboxing the Convoy? |

I think the only part that is diecast is part of the backpack which becomes the front of the truck. MP Transformers are usually almost all plastic unfortunately. |

Thank you for your clarification my friend! Do you have Magic Square one too? |
