    I got my Cliffjumper earlier this week and I dig him. I’m especially taken back by the finish of the red parts. I don’t know if the red is painted but it feels really high quality (like the toy as a whole). The parts forming is unfortunate but I think the design team is focusing on a good looking Transformer in robot mode. I‘m looking forward to other releases. I‘d love to get a Galvatron from this line. Sadly the Starscream seems really lackluster especially with having the New Age Skywarp on my desk.

    Strike Freedom Gundam Avalanche Exia + Option Set Crossbone Gundam X-1

    Their Star Saber, Tarn and both Drifts are good too!!!

    WE built this Internet???? No you built it, it is your fault!!! I kid, I kid, we all know that Tim built it. Clearly he is to blame!!! I wonder if we get a Kuro Kars Kuri version of Windblade (or Arcee, Nautica, Firestar). I would be all over those; so to speak. Regarding the prototype I‘m not sure if I like the face sculpt but that could be because it is not painted. I’d also wish the bow on her back was bigger.

    Whoho more Exia!!

    Yeah I assume Sentinel burnt themselves with the 4ichinel Cutman. The Maverick designs are just that more exciting compared with X and Zero.

    Hopefully this will go perfectly with my Truforce Mega Man X. Storm Eagle when?

    The MMC Arcee is a joy to transform. The only parts that don’t fit 100% are the connection between the outer ans inner wing pieces. The reason why I‘m stressing this is that I feel MMC figured out how to do Arcee in a proper (i.e. fun, straightforward and solid) way. Much like MakeToys handled Despotron. They solved the riddle.

    I can‘t think of a single change in any Masterpiece toy once Takara has shown a prototype. I think Arcee will be released like this.

    So MP-50 is a oversized knockoff of MP Cheetor? I had hoped for something more special. The number 50 seems to hold no significant meaning for Takara. Having both FTs and the OX Arcee I think I‘m good. Especially the OX does the transformation so well. I don‘t think Takara can outdo MMC on this character.

    To be fair the New Age Seeker mold is better than all the other Starscreams out there (I have the Skywarp version)

    I mean why wouldn’t it turn into a lynx? All it needs to du is flip out the head. Given how slavish this design team follows what G1 did I can’t imagine it won’t.

    Ok boomer. [edit:] Wait, is it too late to say something like that? It is hard to keep up with the kids nowadays

    One of the podcast I Iisten to mentioned that, out of fear of knock-offs, Takara manufactured the parts in Vietnam and shipped them to China for assembly. If that is true there wouldn’t be a possibility to fix tolerance issues hence the many broken pieces.

    I hope they fix it with the repaints

    The white Gundam should be the Perfect Grade Unicorn Gundam model kit: https://www.hlj.com/1-60-scale-pg-unicorn-gundam-ban994365 There is a Fixed Figuration Metal Composite available but I think you have one of those already.

    Still no Skygrasper announcement? :( I need to get that Second Revive for sure.
  18. Scyla
    I plan to add one every time I order from Mandarake or Jungle if they have them available
  19. Scyla
    I need to get at least two more.
  20. Scyla
    I need this for the countless MB Exias I have amassed.
  21. Scyla
    He won’t replace hin on my shelf either. But I‘m looking forward having a Detritus from the MP mold.
  22. Scyla
    Reading through the thread over at TFW. I hope yours doesn’t break.

    I think it is a fine line to walk on. Heft for hefts sake ist detrimental to a toy. A good example would be Alternity Starscreams die-cast doors. Terrible decision to make those out of metal. One the other end of the spectrum is MP Star Saber who feels like a $7 soap bottle toy. And it is not just die-cast it is also the plastic used, the way the joints move, etc. Sentinel does it well, Bandai Tamashii Nations too. Arcadias VF-1 feels almost too flimsy for my likings.

    @sqidd from what you showed of your collection I feel that both the TE and MS Prime will not have enough paint (the standard releases) and feel too light* for your liking. I have all four molds and I feel MP-44 has the most shelf presence. After that I would put MP-10. If you are not in a hurry you could wait if Takara will release a standalone version of MP-44. MP-10 goes well with Maketoys Despotron. Which is the best MP Megatron. *with light I want to say too much like a toy and not a collectible.

    All the UT and DX9 MP movie robots (Challenger, La Heir and Dragoon). I also like MP 44 and the Transform Element Primes. FTs Maverick, Roadking and Quietus too. MP Dinobot, Ironhide and Sunstreaker come to mind. I also liked all the storage for legs and tails on the FT Dinobots.
