That's a pretty cool price :-?
What are your experiences with Big In Japan?


I can vouch for them. I usually order limited anime figure releases and use their forwarding services with no incident.

They are legit guys.

I realized that the only place in my collection for this is next to my MP 01 Optimus Prime, because that's the only other MP figure I own. Either way, I want dis.

Looks legit. I like the accessories too. Little Blaster and that punk dude from the show lookin all Warriors style.

I'm not liking that particular shade of grey plastic for the legs and arms though. Looks lazy.

EDIT: Oh and the stand. THat's an excellent accessory.

Ok, now it looks like there is way more going on in that transformation than I initially thought. Hood and doors look to have much more going on than just flipping out of the way, those joints would probably look different otherwise. Can't wait for September!

Now, what I really want to see is Raoul in shot with Tracks to get a sense of scale. Something tells me he's going to be significantly larger than Spike/Spike/Daniel.

Thanks for the HLJ head up, Scotty!

Those eHobby pics looks magnificent. He looks so much more substantial here, and those paint apps suit him perfectly.

The proportions aren't correct. His wings and legs should be shorter, his face needs a flat chin, his helmet should be stockier/shorter and his hood should be covering his head, not behind it.

The G1 figure has more cartoon-accurate proportions than the Masterpiece.

The details of the MP are very cartoon-accurate though.

You mean the cartoon has more toy-accurate proportions than the Masterpiece. The toy came first.

In any event, I personally think he looks great.

Tracks looks great, but Raoul is disappointing. It looks like he has no face, no articulation and that stand is not a separate piece that he can detach from. So basically we are taking a step backwards here.

I just hope that the extra focus on Tracks means that the TF Wiki article on him can be changed to something less homophobic and bizarre.

You are basing your conclusion from a show that was for all intents and purposes taking scale as serious as Hillary using a government issued email service for official transactions?

Larger? I doubt it. Taller? Yup, by a few millimeters thanks to the stand.

Well, size doesn't just go up. And I'm not referring to the stand's addition, I'm talking about the figure itself seeming possibly larger/taller/wider than Adult Spike.

Either way it goes, I'm interested to see how the different figures stack up.

Raoul is disappointing. But that is the end of my disappointments with this release. Somehow these new color shots make him look fuller. I am currently on the edge of my seat. ;)

Looks much better painted, a bit closer to my favorite art of Tracks. Heck they even tried to get him in the same pose!Image

I just noticed how Tracks has all the paint applications absent in the other MPs. Looks like Ocean won't be doing additional decals for Tracks.

Pre-ordered with BigInJapan this time for my MP fix. About Raoul, wished he had the poseability of the previous Spike figures so we can do a "Diaclone" with Tracks.

Regarding what was said about his proportions, the cartoon had a variety of art-styles. In some episodes the characters were boxier and stockier, and in others more lean and athletic-looking. (enjoyed the diversity btw.)

The hoodie over/behind his head may be an angle thing. Will wait to see more pix.
