Great Vid. My MP KO SS has all the issues you mentioned as well. Looking forward to the EG getting here soon. Also, I am taking a chance and have already ordered my EG Thundercracker so here's hoping for a good copy of that!
Hi Moshe, hope you enjoy your new figures, EG and MD both have issues, MD KO Thundercracker might be better than SS according to the factory's claim, and EG 01B should also have updated their accessories, good time to collect seekers.
I've noticed the elbow joint on my MP 52 KO is very tight as well (the bicep joint breaks occasionally when posing) - looks like this company went a little crazy when assembling Thundercracker's arms...it's unfortunate to already have stress marks on the figure (i'll definitely keep this in mind when posing). I've got the MP 52+ KO and Eagle variants on order as well, this comparison makes me very excited to get all figures in hand. Also, thanks for explaining the construction difference between the EG and MP 52 biceps. IMO, the Eagle seekers are shaping up to be the best value for money on the market. Great comparison and video, as always.
Hi Gushe, glad the video helped, and enjoy your new seekers! It seems that EG KO made quite some tweaks to the original mold, and used better materials than MD KO, but most importantly, they came with an actually reasonable price, and MD KO price bubble burst, and that's a good thing. Seek mold is profitable, the competition will go on, hope we get better and better figures.
@@OptimusLegends Hi, I have an update...I received my 4th party Thundercracker yesterday. After transforming him, I've noticed his left elbow articulation is limited 180* to 90*. After 90*, it gets really tight, so I'm not gonna force it. Secondly, his right air intake (when moved into position) cannot fully unfold. Other than that, he looks beautiful. But I agree, the materials on 4th party Starscream are waay better. This guy is probably going on eBay when I get my Eagle Thundercracker.
Thanks for the review. Ya I ended up buying all 3 EG-01 KO’s for cheap. I couldn’t resist the price on them for $55 CAD each lol. Basically costed me $195 CAD shipped for all 3. I have all 3 Deformation seekers and all the older MP-11 molds but I couldn’t justify paying the authentic Takara Tomy’s MP-52’s price for them. I got the EG-01 KO’s for display
thats very great amazing awesome my favorite mp-52 ko, masterpiece collection figurine thundercraker decepticon the transformers g1 original classic series. love masterpiece thundercraker decepticon the transformers g1. thank you friends 🤘🎸
Does MD have the upgraded joints for the legs like EG? I remember that being the saving grace for EG because it had betters joints so that it wouldn't fail like the official.
😲😱 man u got him quick showZstore has him as incoming 😃👍, wow no die-cast feet thats not cool 😒 I'm thinking about getting this thundercracker he looks really good and for the price u get all those face options that came with starscream which is what I think 🤔 takara should have done considering ur paying almost 3x the eg-01 price, thanku 🙏🙏 once again for another gr8 📹 always look forward to them, I noticed a long scratch on the outer thigh of ur thundercracker but im pretty sure u will get rid of that, sometimes paint imperfections and scratches can be a real eye sore 😉😁👍
Hi Asaph, thanks for the comment, MD 02 does have some good things, like the LED head and better transformation experience, but the paint work does need some improvement, I have quite a few spots of blemishing and paint chipping, you've also noticed the line on the thigh, which is the darker paint from the feet. I guess KO is a budget option anyway, and they come with flaws, it's what it is. But good thing is, the materials are at least sturdy, and won't just crack like the official stuffs.
Hi, great comparison. At 8:40 you mention EG will offer fixed null rays. Is that for all buyers, or just Chinese? (I got my EG TC from ShowZ, shipping now). Do you know if TC fixed this issue?
Hi JL, thank you for the comment! I am not yet sure how would EG carry out this announcement, in the message, it did mention two stores which they called authorized PDD (Chinese e-commerce platform like Taobao) stores, to distribute the new null rays, I will follow this and let you know.
I noticed that knob in the EG01 biceps you mentioned...after one got broken off. 😑😑😑😑 So the MD02 KO has an easier transformation? I like the sound of that...perhaps I should wait for the cheaper run to come out. On the other hand, I would like to get the Takara style card, box, & instructions...
Hi John, sorry to hear that. If you want the collector card and box, which I also like, I recommend MD 02, which does offer a better transformation experience.
Hi there, the fitting null ray message was just out a few days, I am not sure how it is going to be implemented, especially for oversea customers, so we could wait for a while to see how things go.
It's a universal stand for action figures, apologize that I lost the link, but search the term 'figure stand' would give you quite some products that would serve the same purpose.
I would say, for just the jet mode, they are pretty much identical, EG is 60 grams heavier due to the metal feet. that might be the only noticeable difference.
went with deformation space on all three seekers. just better and scales better and not that much more than the ko. i do like the ko's as well but they are just s tad too small for my display
*The thing that pisses me off about these is that the canopy on the chest is fake… why the heck is that not the real cockpit???? It’s a waste and I hate that it’s pointless with 2 canopies!!!! They even have to waste making a piece just to cover up the fake canopy, lol. At least DS-01 Crimson wings actually designed theirs to be the real canopy.*

This channel needs more love. Great vid!
Thank Jason, I appreciate that! Glad you liked it.
Yeah it sure does it should be at least 2.5k the least all ur 📹 r 🔥🔥😃🙏👍
@Asaph Martinez Thanks a ton, Asaph!🙏
Outstanding 👏 Documentary. The music, transformation sequence, poses and size comparisons to other Transformers left me kinda moist haha

True TF addict, just like me. EG serves as good display piece in both the robot and jet mode, love them!
Your video review is very helpful and straight forward on things to expect about the product, that's what i like about your videos, bro. Keep it up!
Thanks a lot, Joe! Glad you like it!
Great vid! I enjoyed the transformation sequence very much!
Thank you Kevin! Glad you enjoyed it, that's priceless for me, will keep it up!
Thanks for the comparison as well, might pick up EG-01 soon but can't wait for them to release Thundercracker, he is my favorite among the seekers
I also love the blue scheme more than the red and gray, definitely looks so much attractive than SS.
I own Starscream g1 of the masterpiece, I can say that I love it airplane mode.😍
great video! your transformation sequence was really clean
Hi Miguel, Thanks! Glad you liked it!!
thats very great amazing awesome my favorite mp-52 ko, masterpiece collection figurine thundercraker decepticon the transformers g1 original classic series. love masterpiece thundercraker decepticon the transformers g1. thank you friends 🤘🎸

Hi Omega, MD does have good materials on the feet and ankle, and tuned quite nicely.
3:23 Well dang, seeing them side by side has convinced me to upgrade my (KO) MP-11 Thundercracker to the new one.
MP 52 does have a very strong cartoon look, it's a great mold.

Thank you for the review.
Hi Toy Surgeon, It's my pleasure!
Fantastic review
Thank you kindly.
I ordered the EG01 from ShowZ if the blast effects do not fit the Null Ray do I contact ShowZ for the reissued null ray?
Hi there, the fitting null ray message was just out a few days, I am not sure how it is going to be implemented, especially for oversea customers, so we could wait for a while to see how things go.
Would that stand be able to hold up the takara original?
Yes, MD-02's stand works with Takara.
It sounds like you're saying 'M..D KO' not MP KO...So which is it?
MD 02 has LED lights or are a separate purchase?
MD 02 comes with the LED and 6 faces.
I just ordered my copy from ShowZ for only £55 (29% off!)!!!
Skywarp just came out, so a pretty reasonable price for the seeker team.
where do you get that thing that's holding up Thundercrackers leg to make him look like he's running?
It's a universal stand for action figures, apologize that I lost the link, but search the term 'figure stand' would give you quite some products that would serve the same purpose.
Hi Ron, for the stand, I found the link: amzn.to/3Kf8qPg.
Since many people are asking, I am also put it in the description.
Between the 2 if you HAD to pick one, which is your preference?
If so, I'd pick MD-02, for it's Takara packaging and collector card, and maybe I'd pick up MD-03 Skywarp for that reason.
Hope it helps.
So you prefer the packaging over the figure with slightly better quality?
@@PixelKappa_HD Yes, but need to sand down a few parts to make the robot mode better.
Thank you!
You bet!
Which one has the better jet mode MD or EG?
I would say, for just the jet mode, they are pretty much identical, EG is 60 grams heavier due to the metal feet. that might be the only noticeable difference.
@@OptimusLegends I see. I already have the DS figures so I was considering getting either MD or EG for alt mode since they're so cheap
went with deformation space on all three seekers. just better and scales better and not that much more than the ko. i do like the ko's as well but they are just s tad too small for my display
They are small, not quite sure why Takara Tomy made them even smaller than MP 11, which is already a bit smaller to scale with Megatron.
please make more seeker videos
Skywarp just arrived, but he is scheduled for later shows, but will definitely make one for him.
Kristof love to by it
*The thing that pisses me off about these is that the canopy on the chest is fake… why the heck is that not the real cockpit???? It’s a waste and I hate that it’s pointless with 2 canopies!!!!

I don't like fake parts either, it kinda negates the point of being a transformer figure.
