I'm wouldn't say I'm hyped about it but it's nice seeing Qiyi release another budget lineup. I didn't watch the video SH03L4C3 sent yet but I'll try to give my thoughts.
First I'll start what I'm not exited about:
1. The boxes our absolutely hideous, probably the worst looking boxes I have ever seen besides the 50mm Moyu cube. I like to keep all my boxes for display but those are just an eyesore.
2. While I'm not expecting it to be an upgrade to the MS cubes I do hope that they retain a quality feel. From @SH03L4C3's knowledge it seems like only the 3x3 is worth it. 4x4 I can understand being bad as budget 4x4's usually are like that I don't really like the MS 4x4 and it was by far the worst out of the 5 but hopefully they can improve on that a little. While I do like the black internals in general I don't think that belongs on a stickerless pyraminx and it's interesting that Qiyi picked this.
3. It doesn't seem like Qiyi put as much thought into this as the MS cubes, it feels kind of bland with nothing huge standing out.
What I'm glad to see:
1. Another Qiyi series. I'm always glad when Qiyi releases new cube and I think more people will prefer these to the MS cubes. Most cubers prefer a softer feel over something like the MS 3x3 which is very clacky, sharp which make it feel larger than it already is (and it already is larger than most), and extremely simple. On top of this it has the looks of a high quality speedcube which will appeal to the major audience, i:e younger, and newer cubers who can be very easily influenced by the looks of a cube. They bear a resemblance to the classic GAN look (that GAN ironically doesn't release anymore) with its black internals.
2. While it seems to be a direct downgrade of the Tornado V2 it is neat seeing that extended to other events besides 3x3. And to be fair the MS line was a watered down version of the The Valk The Valk 3m (yes that's a reference). This does seem to be more of an easy money grab than the MS cubes but hopefully I'm wrong.
3. I really like how Qiyi chose to make all the cubes glossy, something that's very very disappointingly becoming more rare in the current market.
Overview: I don't know how the MP series will compare to the MS, I doubt it will make the same impact and probably won't be as popular. It seems to resemble lot of modern cubes, trying to please the younger cubers which is fine but that always has the chance of letting people down as quality goes down. I'll definitely be getting the 3x3 but I doubt I'm going to purchase the whole lineup. I'm curious to see if the MP's gain any attention from top-solvers like their predecessors and I hope they all have something a little unique about them like each of the individual MS puzzles.
If I like the MP's I'll still be a bit disappointed because my love for the MS 3x3 probably gives me a shot of winning the "biggest fanboy" award and if I suddenly abandoned my loyalty and changed ships to the MP that would kill my chance. Oh well.

The new solar 2x2 is incredible for the price, can easily be a main. Hoping the 3x3 will have a similar feel.
It's terrifying to even contemplate solving! I've only just conquered the master Kilominx.I haven’t heard any rumors about a Zettaminx, but here it is!
ShengShou Zettaminx
Imagine a 13x13x13 puzzle with all of its intricacies and difficulties. Now what if that puzzle were not cubic, but dodecahedral and had 12 sides? Now we're talking about the ShengShou Zettaminx. With over 2500 individual pieces, this is going to be a challenge for anyone who tries to solve it!

The MP cubes are out!
But at terrible prices.
Phil said that the most he would pay for the 3x3 is $13, and the 3x3 is $18!

QiYi MP 3x3 M
The QiYi MP 3x3 M seems like a slightly simplified X-Man Tornado V2. This 3x3 features soft turning and a medium magnetic feel. This is a fantastic puzzle at a reasonable price. Definitely give this one a shot.

Why Qiyi. You're better than that. At this point it's not even worth it. Just get the Tornado V2.The MP cubes are out!

I thought it would be a budget cube smh.

If the MP is similar Tornado V2, I think the fact that it is $7 cheaper justifies for the less convenient adjustment system.
Who knows, maybe the MP is actually an improved Tornado V2 with better reverse cornercutting!
