ah, ok! As I mentioned, I'm new to mp...haven't bought a Takara yet, and I was under the assumption (looking at some of them) that they used some stickers, similar to Takara's regular TF toys. I was just looking at the pics of MP13 Soundwave uploaded the other day, and the chest Decepticon logo looked rather "sticker" to me...but what do I know! Glad to hear I'm mistaken!! =)

Are those, like myself, who had been faithful to the Masterpiece series for years still interested in the new releases/has the steady flow of new product rejuvenated your interest in the line?


I've been collecting the figures I want since MP-04 came out. I picked-up Optimus, Starscream, Ultra Magnus, Megatron, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Grimlock, and the "Takara" Hasbro Starscream(which was clearly made by Hasbro). I found the line was getting extremely stale.
MP-10 was announced and I sat on the fence for a bit before pre-ordering him. When I got him, I fell in love with him. I picked up MP-11 when it came out, and felt like a sucker for buying the same characters a second time, though the robot mode was drastically improved. My interest in this line became completely rejuvenated when Sideswipe was revealed, our first Autobot car. And shortly after that, Soundwave. And then his cassettes. And now Prowl and Smokescreen. This line is finally becoming the line that a lot of us hoped it would become when it first started. It is the MOTUC of Transformers.

i feel similar to racoon, im glad we are finally getting something we have wanted for a long time... masterpiee is becoming a full cognitive line that we as hardcore collectors and hobbyist alike can collect and enjoy. personally i sold all my mp-01 & 04 figures and blew up my 20th anniversary prime with a qtr stick of dynamite.... wish i had filmed it, but i am planning on blowing up MP-05, when a new version is announced... i will film that.

Racoon what does MOTUC mean? forgive me if i am naive...lol

Masters of the Universe Classics is an updated version of my other favourite toy line from my childhood. Each figure is beautifully sculpted by by the Four Horsemen, who are a team of amazing toy artists. It is probably the greatest Masters of the Universe toy line that will ever exist, and in my opinion, the greatest toy line in it's class. I could gush over it endlessly, and I could do the same for the new Masterpiece figures we are getting. Since MP-10, I can't find a single thing I would complain about in this line. These are the definitive versions of the G1 Transformers. I find myself checking for new reveals more often. My heart stopped when I saw we are getting Prowl. I am very excited about this line. And I have high hopes that we will at least be getting all of the original Autobots and Decepticons.

As for my MP-04, I gave it to my nephew, who loves G1 Transformers. Although blowing it up does sound pretty cool. I'd like to do that to my Hasbro Starscream.
