The issue was never about its being released (in Japan), but about its being sold by importers to American consumers. It's gonna come out in its domestic Japanese retail release regardless of anything Phillip Morris does to stop it from commercially reaching American shores.shajaki wrote:the recent march '15 issue of dangeki hobby features some shots of our pal exhaust. im taking it as a good sign that he's still being released![]()

strangely enough.. TFsource has their preorders back up.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sporting his new looks, even. Nobody said anything about him being canceled though: he just can't be sold to anyone within the US, which strangely renders the change moot...
i know i know. but after they made the changes and it still didnt make PM happy, there was some speculation that he might be cancelled. all i was saying was maybe this will eleviate some of thoese worries.Sabrblade wrote:The issue was never about its being released (in Japan), but about its being sold by importers to American consumers.

Exhaust: I-I don't know if I can betray my sponsor.
Soundwave: They betrayed you long before this day; they wrote you off; you meant nothing to them. Take this and seek your revenge against all who forgot about you; all who those who wronged you; all at Philip Morris...

MP-23 Exhaust Box Images of Cancelled Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece Figure
By BaCon on Sunday, March 08, 2015
Looks like the wheel are still turning on the Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-23 Exhaust figure thanks to some new In-Box Images that just appeared on Yahoo! auctions Japan via seller totosouen2. Could this mean the figure is still coming soon or will there be some of these cancelled figures floating around? Only time time will tell. Get a look at the box front and back in the meantime.
I'd wager they're jumping the gun. Only foreign market e-tailers have canceled their orders of the figure. Domestic Japanese sellers will likely still get it.shajaki wrote:OK. I just read TFormers take on this. And... I don't know where they're getting their info from.MP-23 Exhaust Box Images of Cancelled Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece Figure

I'd like to point out, that no one anywwhere had confirmed that the figure had been entirely cancelled. Lots of speculation, news about no importing, and that recent bit about Hasbro Asia, but it being completely cancelled? Totally unconfirmed.

I just read the same article. They are really pushing that cancellation angle. I dropped the news about Hasbro Asia in this thread late last week I think.fenrir72 wrote:Just read an article about him. The poster(in another site) kind of presented that the item was cancelled.
Distribution wise, in the American market, there will be "issues" to put it lightly but the figure was not cancelled. Tomy went even further to re design the "M" pyramid pattern.
Sometimes, I wish the so called "reporters" would proof check their posts.
All I'll say is, I'm still unsure what role Hasbro Asia has. But them cancelling distribution of Exhaust doesn't mean he's cancelled entirely.

Australia has its own local Hasbro department, much like the UK and Europe. They are the ones who periodically import high-end TakaraTomy figures like Masterpieces. Hasbro Asia does the same for its own territories in China, Hong Kong and Singapore, but having close ties to the main office in the US means no local branch can release MP Exhaust under the pressure of you-know-who.
