Some people just want Takara Masterpiece figures under some assumption they are intrinsically superior to Hasbro versions.
Heck, I saw somebody say the Seeker molds are "too small" and hopes X-Transbots does them larger (I suppose...there'd be no point mentioning it otherwise). I don't agree with that guy at all...they are perfectly scaled in robot mode.
My main point is, people are techy about the MP-11 mold for varying reasons.

We also don't know what the Hasbro version will look like.

I've read it a couple times now and I'm confused. I assume it means its delayed, but it doesn't actually say that. Just that its changed. And it doesn't have an estimate date either. Anyone else hear something similar?

Oh well. I have a bit of good news.
I want my Takara and Hasbro MP10's to be a little more different, so I thought I'd go the Soundwave route with toy accurate yellow eyes. Someone informed me (sorry don't remember who) that theres a guy who makes replacement MP10 eyes, so I checked him out and he was long sold out. I emailed him a while ago if he'd ever make more and he said "if there was demand".
With the upcoming reissue I figured I'd try again, here's what he told me:nonnef wrote:Demand has shown itself. Looks like I'll be making more with the new injection machines. Keep your ears peeled.=)
So I can get my yellow eyes, others can brighten up their blue eyes, hooray for everything! I'll be keeping an eye on his store and let y'all know when they're in stock!
Thanks for the offer! But yellow is what I'm going forfenrir wrote:shajster, by any chance did you get the Hasbro version with the yellow eyes? And you want to convert it to red? I can send you my extra "red optic" decals by Ocean, you just pay for the shipping. I have two red optics decal replacements btw

First the Legacy Megazord reissue and now this.
What's next?
Soul of Chogokin Goldymarg will be hit as well?
What about Sentinel's Dancouga?
Wolfman Jake wrote:What is the general consensus on Takara's versus Hasbro's version of "MP-10"? I know that Takara's features a silver painted interior for the trailer and a screen accurate silver Roller, while Hasbro's has an unpainted (plain gray plastic) interior for the trailer, and a toy accurate blue Roller, plus painted eyes and painted cab roof lights on Optimus himself. However, which version has the more screen accurate colors for Optimus Prime? Hasbro's has a brighter and generally lighter blue and red than Takara's, but does that make it more or less accurate to Prime's G1 screen appearance? I've heard before that Takara's colors make the figure more G1 toy accurate, but I've seen debate on that as well.
