let me know thanks! also anyone know if this is going to be hasbro colors not takara colors for MP-10


Hasbro color. TF Source is fine and you can preorder without being charged until it comes in stock. also it's free shipping for orders over $150 there.

hasbros blue is the show accurate one. takaras is accurate to the original toy.

im happy its Hasbro. its the definitive show accurate colors. I mean you can't please everyone. but more people probably prefer show accurate than g1 toy accurate. also the Hasbro one looks more lively and colors pop

They already reissued the Takare version once. Guess it's Hasbro-deco's turn.

Also, I'm not sure what this blue being show accurate is all about. The Hasbro blue is nice and vibrant, but show accurate? I recall Prime's coloring as somewhat more muted...

Sort of.

Takara wins when it comes to getting the blue right. But, IMO, I like Hasbro's blue better. That, and his optics are much more vibrant. That's just me, of course.

It depends on the episode. Some used Takara-blue, and others Hasbro-blue.

But the eyes are baby-blue.

Yea, the Takara eyes are a killer. That's why I swapped out the eyes with those from a YOTH Prime...

Thanks to fellow Seibertron.com member shajaki, we have an update on the Transformers Asia reissue of Masterpiece MP10 Optimus Prime. It appears the figure will include a Vector Sigma gift set, as shown in the mirrored images below, via site sponsor BBTS - check it out!

Greetings!

We have just been informed that the premium bonus accessory to be included with this set is a Vector Sigma Gift Set! This free bonus will be added to all new and existing preorders at no additional charge, and a photo can also be seen on our listing. We also wanted to inform everyone that this release is actually a reissue of the Hasbro version of the figure (as shown in photos), but due to originating from overseas it is labeled as a Takara product In the event Takara reissues their version of the MP-10 Convoy, we would publish a new listing for that figure should that happen.

Thanks again for your support to BigBadToyStore and enjoy your weekend!

Sincerely,

BBTS Customer Care

That Masterpiece Op is tempting but money's tight.

I don't collect a lot of Masterpieces. Just the big characters. Starscream, Soundwave, Grimlock, and the original Masterpiece Optimus Prime. I would've gotten Rodimus and Megatron too, but I heard the quality is poor on those.

Is it worth the upgrade to a second Masterpiece Optimus?

At the very least, I'd be interested in seeing comparisons with the old Unicron.com version.
