MPG - new Japanese Transformers series

[Exatron]

I have to admit, I would probably bite for MP Constructicons. I think they're the only combiner team that could hook me at that price, though.

unfortunately i'm a bitch who loves her some trains so takara basically has me by the unmentionables here

Why have cotton, when you can have silk?

Clockwise from the top-left:

MPG Shouki
Bumblebee movie Optimus Prime (probably Premium Finish)
Kingdom Tigatron
Earthrise Optimus Prime (maybe a Premium Finish)
Kingdom Shadow Panther
Kingdom Megatron (or maybe T-Wrecks?)
Titan class Black Zarak
Kingdom Galvatron
Selects Artfire w/ Nightstick
Those new Tensegrity display stands with the Optimus-colored redeco of Kingdom Ultra Magnus's inner cab robot

Could be Premium Finish Earthrise OP, but I thought I'd read that they were doing another Nemesis Prime release so it could be the Netflix toy.

I still don't know why this needed to be Masterpiece, will all the problems that brings. What happens when the torso guy has over-complex joints that snap when you attach the arms, or the left leg has transparent plastic in the wrong place, or the right arm does a Hound and just falls apart when exposed to air?

I also feel that the price is too much and at the wrong time, considering Star Sabre has just been "sold". It reminds me of MP Prime v3 bring sold alongside Unicron.

Unless they change it so Shouki gets released like next week, nobody will be charging for him for a quite a while.

The train mode is so beautiful.

According to this article the Trainbots will be released over a two year period.

I understand why they do that, and for this price it really helps to spread out the payments like that, but at two years I think I would be bored with Raiden by the time I completed it.

Thanks for the info. So that's around three years to wait for the full KO version, at least...

 

[MorganDfX]

I can not wait for him. I love the HeadMaster show as it’s my favorite jg1 show and I always wanted Raiden. And this to me will fit perfectly in my chug.

So preorders at BBTS and/or Hasbro Pulse when?

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

Nope, it still looks like an overpriced CHUG to me, whereas the 3P version(s) looks like an MP at a CHUG price.

Shouki is currently the best selling collectible on Amazon Japan. https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/1368071/

 

[unluckiness]

Sub Zero has better fatalities

 

[Sunstorm]

FYI...Preorder up on BBTS.

 

[Darth_Prime]

That price though….spoiler: $209.99 USD. F that.

 

[Echowarrior]

Hefty tag. I hope he's worth it.

How do you mean?
