Obligatory music moment:
Such awesome figure. But they could had made some promotional pics, showing it in its different modes...

anyone else think he looks a little plain? grey proto's are usually the best to show off a figures sculpted details, and he's lookin kinda flat.

I'm actually surprised they already have a prototype to show! The announcement about Star Saber coming out as a Masterpiece was in November, and we saw the first designs later that month and then nothing until last April.
GAH I haven't been this stoked about a figure in a looooong time.

He's not "plain," he's "streamlined."

Can't wait to see some color on this bad boy. Will most likely add to collection. Head sculpt seems very gundam like. That is a plus.

I don't see a lot in the way of joints or seams that would give an idea as to how the figure comes together. I really feel keeping the Brainmaster gimmick intact is crucial.

Does anyone else think it's hilarious that every pic we've seen so far makes sure to have the "No photos please" sign in them> 
Still, no interest in getting Star Saber.

Well I for one am really excited for this one. I can't tell if he's gonna have the old Brainmaster gimmick because they head doesn't look like it becomes the turret on the alt mode. Guess we gotta wait for more pictures to find out.

Seeing the head size, I'm not sure if the "Battle Up" helmet will be removable to then leave it only with the "normal" face.
D-Don't report me, I'm too young.

Too dark. Star Saber was a righteously brightly-colored dude even in the dark depths of space.Miles Wolf wrote:Seeing the head size, I'm not sure if the "Battle Up" helmet will be removable to then leave it only with the "normal" face.Darkrenegade1 wrote:Can't wait to see some color on this bad boy.

Once again from the pages of the most recent issue of Dengeki Hobby magazine via TAG Hobby we have a prototype image. Below you'll find another look at the Fans Choice Masterpiece winner Star Saber prototype that was revealed at the Tokyo Toy Show. Also feature on the page are MP-21 Bumblebee and MP-22 Ultra Magnus.

I just can't wait for the preorders to start and buy it instantly.

This is a really important point.
Star Saber's transformation is so simple, if the complexity is not in his "nesting doll" attributes, we're getting screwed over.

Absolutely. Is it too early to start wishing for a MP Victory Leo?

So, if it isn't too hard to transform Star Saber, will this affect the price in a positive way?
Due to the fact that it wouldn't be a lot of engineering involved to make him transform.

That's a good question. Keep in mind that there's a general set price point for Masterpieces that Takara tries to stay within so who knows. They might load him up with little add ons to keep the price on the same level.

Given recent trends, I think we can safely assume at least a baseline price of $160.
