Either one is great, but most people prefer the Hasbro version for his pretty bright eyes.phantom1592 wrote:On the plus side, BBTS got the Hasbro version in stock for $30 cheaper. It was tough choosing which one looked better... Even with the slight color shifts, they both look better then my YOTH version... I bit the bullet and ordered me the Hasbro one and canceled the pre-order!!!

Takara - Dark blue plastic (cartoon accurate), dim blue eyes (not so much).
Hasbro - Light blue (while pleasing, not accurate), bright blue eyes (accurate).

Not gonna lie; I hate - HATE - the bright gaudy blue of the Hasbro release. The dark blue of the Taraka release is so much classier and follows both the original G1 toy's appearance and - more often than not - the cartoon. I don't know what Hasbro was going for with that blindingly-bright, oversaturated blue they use, but can only assume they got a super deal on it at Crazy Eddie's Discount Clown Paints Emporium (exit 57 at the corner of Hwy 61 and Washington).

Price difference? There might have been some mold improvements.

Price at this moment is the same - $69.99 for the in-stock 2nd production run and $69.99 elsewhere to pre-order the September reissue. But wasn't the 2nd production run issued by Hasbro Asia, where-as the September reissue is a Takara Tomy release? And didn't the 2nd production run use the wrong headsculpt?
Slated for 6/27 release in Japan. Takara releases are always* on the last Saturday of a month.Spanbauer wrote:Any news or movement on the MP-10 reissue scheduled for "late June"?
