Is that Star Saber holding his sword properly?

With both hands, even!

[Mindmaster]

Finally, an estimated release date and price!

It's great to see him in all his colored glory, especially Saber. I was getting tired of seeing nothing but gray. I know what I'm saving up for after November's MP-10 reissue!

[rpetras]

I like it, but with no attachment to the character I'll have trouble spending that much for him. But it is a cool robot design and figure, so I may.

Yes, and that two hand stance is awesome! However, I'm still not sure he can hold it, blade parallel with his arm line. In the pic, the hilt is turned to clear the arm cowling. But, if the handle is long enough for two hands, it may be possible for him to hold it nearer the bottom, though that may look weird with the guard so far above the top of the fist. We'll have to see!

This should make it clear enough that he's perfectly capable of gripping his sword right. I think he's the only MP so far since Mp-01 to have such shoulder articulation!

[Sabrblade]

I kind wish the blade of the sword was longer, though.

Yeah yeah, "that's what she said" and all that.

[ScottyP]

Wow, awesome price on this guy. Was expecting around 20,000 yen, most excellent. I wonder if there'll be an amazon accessory for him?

[fenrir72]

Maybe a Lumina or Jean? like MP-10 had Spike? Tomy already included his shield......

[BERSEKAEL]

honestly doesn't look bad, besides I know nothing about that character or its lore. So pass.

Watch Victory and get educated. I loved it.

alright, bought my dvd set for transformers victory on amanzon. I honestly stop watching transformers after headmansters, is amazing on the begining with all those combiners and g1 characters, but after rodimus depart becomes tasteless.

Wish MP Ultra Magnus could pose like that. Star Saber may be the first MP figure that I don't buy (not including some repainted MP figures). I don't know enough about the character to be wowed into buying him.

It definitely helps to know the character but the design of this guy alone with all the little extra gimmicks of the Brainmaster being remastered is more than enough for me to purchase MP Star Saber. That and I don't know many Masterpieces that preferably uses melee weapons and combat.

The robot mode is very impressive. But there are other things that don't impress me as much. Because I don't know the character he reminds me more of a Soul of Chogokin character from the 70's (paint app wise and alt mode wise).

Well I can definitely say that that look is something I dig but had to grow into. Oh well. This does however open the possibilities of what the Masterpiece line can do in the future and as well as being a Masterpiece I would love to have, this piece represents the beginnings of the Brave Series and how the franchise will be telling its stories as well as how their toy lines are made as well as being a Masterpiece that may even give Transformers who never got a fair shake due to engineering limitations at the time such as Fatimus Prime.

It's possible that the hand will have a hinge at the wrist to bend forward to allow proper holding with one hand.

love that pose.

why is it that first unveilings are always small crappy pics? we need better pics of the color proto!

What about all those big photos taken of the colored version from the Transformers Expo?

[Agamemnon]

Pre-order up at BBTS: $169.99. Almost feels like a steal with all that this figure has going on...

(MP-23 Exhaust, a repaint of Wheeljack is also up in case anyone wanted to know. )

Yea, the price is surprisingly attractive for its huge size and gimmicks. Wish the US retailers would push down the price of the cars, too, but oh well. I think I'm going to test out HLJ for these 2 MPs (once preorders go up) & Takara Jetfire. Haven't used them before, but the price is right and I've only heard good things.

[guarayakha]

If there's only one thing that would make this MP even more better than he already is, it's that he comes in the usual sexy black MP box and printed on it is the MP doing the exact same pose as the G1 boxart.
