A bargain! Which I may very well not bother with. It seems the only thing I've taken back control of post-Brexit is my spending. Although I also quite liked spending money on toys. Oh well.

I will have to have it. The lure of a full set of Masterpiece cars is too much. I got Grapple cheap through Amazon.jp so that could be an option provided they actually ship it here.

Quite a gap there. Megatron was April, Sunstreaker November. There must be a few more reveals to come for the start of next year.

We've not heard anything about Dinobot yet.
There's also toy Primal, and a potential unannounced Cheetor.

Looks nice, but MP's are priced so well out of my wage packets these days that I take little notice of them.
I do approve of Chip Chase being made though the crucial question is: "WILL HE HAVE EYES???"

How long until after release before reports of chrome chipping from a single person are taken by the community that there is a widespread problem and Taktom should do a product recall and issue compensation to every body, even those that didn't even buy the damn thing?

This might need a PC to work for whatever plugin it's using, but scroll down and click and drag on the images for 360 degree rotations. The backpack is no where near the problem people feared it would be. tf.takaratomy.co.jp/products-lineup/tf_mp/mp-39 |

Oddly at 45deg it seems worse than side/straight on from the back. But yeah, looks like a backpack rather than kibble.

I have yet to encounter an MP with a backpack that I thought looked bad. I know the new Hot Rod was supposed to be bad, but in hand he's perfectly fine. As Sunny here is supposed to have one, I expect no problems with him.

That's true, But I've never seen him in person, so I can't really comment.
I've no problem with Ironhide and Ratchets hips, either, while I think on it.

I saw Andu's MP Magnus and though the bum flap bothered me in pictures I didn't find it a problem in-hand. The good things about the toy balanced it out, for me.
AND ONE DAY, WHEN ANDU IS NOT LOOKING...

Yeah, but the important thing to remember about that was... I was very very drunk by the time Magnus turned up.

Really, really hoping someone does a more toy focused face insert for this so he'll work better with Sideswipe.

I only have Angry Boi Sideswipe so that's less of a concern to me, but it would be nice to give folks the choice. They could do it with Inferno's whole chest, after all!

I do understand people wanting these cartoon accurate toys, but I just dont like them. The loss of car mode and stickered details makes them look cheaper to me.
Unless Sunstreaker has a toy like alt head theres no chance Im even tempted to pay the going rate for it.

The faces are really getting to me. Every time I decide to cave and buy MP Megatron, it's the face that stops me. I've said it before but all I see is this:  |

It is, but it'll be cheaper than the import shops here. TFE are at £85 plus postage and Kapow aren't sure yet but reckon £78-85 plus ship.
