...Roddy P is one heck of a small figure. The transformation is still marvelous, being able to change from Hotty Roddy into Roddy P and into that oh-so-80s vehicle in a way only a Masterpiece can boast about. But what the heck, there are seriously no substantial differences between them 'cept for an increase in height of perhaps less than half an inch and a face swap. Havin lack the interest and monetary liberty to collect the other Masterpiece lineup, apart from favourite Opie and Meg, I suddenly remember that based on general pics and reviews seen previously, the rest of TFMPs are shorter and smaller than the big two. When posed with them, Roddy looks uh, wimpy? I shoulda kick myself over this...And it is incredibly plasticky, quite a departure from Opie and Meg (though not necessary a bad thing, as Meg's feet is getting the "classic case" of rust). Then there are also stuffs like the back could not "click" in place and a, OMG, shrunken-ised Creation Matrix. Overall, I think Roddy P lacks the "feel" of a Masterpiece and the "greatness" of possibly one of the most popular and important TF characters of all time. The character definitely deserves better than this thang...
