Getting an Binal Tech vibe. And in a world where MP figures have too much hanging off the back, I feel like here there is too little on the back.

Ahhhh. Brings back memories. I've still got my original that fell apart through over-play, and I've still got the encore that I bought from Kaptain Karlos years ago.
BUT I DON'T WANT A MASTERPIECE SKIDS!!!
I want a right nice Earthrise style Skids that's true to G1. I haven't let myself even think of much about this before. Like wanting big Generations Dinobots, it hurts too much to hope.

It'll be interesting if they colour the details of the sides of the shins on first release like the toy, or just have plain blue a la Sunbow.

Looking good. The opening bonnet and boot are a worry though; that's an extra $20 on the price right there.

The boot opened on the original, didn't it?

Yes. And he stored a scooter in there.

Speed bumps are the mortal enemy of Skids it seems.

Yes he is rather... 'underslung'.
Looks bloody good though. Perfect update of the G1 toy!
Is this a MP design switch...? IS IT?!

There's some discussion it's a one off based on something to do with Honda's licensing but I hope not.

I know what you mean, Pins. This is what Masterpiece should always have been like.
Although... to change the asthenic now would be....
Well I'm not sure what it would be, but it'd be a something.

Even looks good from behind, although it almost feels they've gone too far in keeping the back clean, I think I'd prefer a little more back mass.
My main concern is that it looks a little thin plastic wise. I'd hate for us to have another MP Hound. Having said that it does seem less complex, so my not break so readily.

BBTS has preorders up and both skids and reboost are under $100.
This is an official masterpiece and not a 3p, right?

Cannot wait for the 3P Charlene figure.

I don't know whether to put in for Skids or not. I do want him, but MP's have traditionally been TFN purchases for me. This feels like it's crossing a line.
