Listing for Movie Masterpiece Brawl Found

Posted by Emerje Nov 11, 2023 at 3:27am CST 95,415 views
We're nearing the release of Movie Masterpiece MPM-14 Bonecrusher and we're already getting our first tease of the next MPM. Thanks to the finding of Jtprime17 we're now aware that what we're going go guess is MPM-15, Brawl, is on the horizon! At this point we know next to nothing about the release but it's probably a safe bet that it'll be a Target exclusive in the US and available worldwide through the usual suspects like Amazon Japan.



With this we're basically at the end of of the 2007 movie lineup, the only exclusion being Frenzy. Maybe Hasbro will find a way to fix that someday soon. Hard to say if we'll be seeing Brawl's reveal this year or not but we shouldn't be too far away from it. More as we learn it. Big thanks to EvasionModeBumblebee for posting this in the Energon Pub Forums!

Getting Brawl in 2024 will be a great treat. Idk if I'd get any more MPMs after the 2007 cast thanks to Studio Series covering the other movies but we'll see

The concept art always looked amazing. But I have been almost universally disappointed by every figure made based on this bayverse design. They've been overly fiddly, a chore to transform, frustrating to handle, and they pose like a block of pig iron. The MP version would have to do a heckuvva lot to dispel the foul stench that all the other versions of Bayverse Brawl have left in the air.

Does that apply to the studio series release? I always thought that was a solid figure.

Besides the turret tail, the Studio Series one is pretty great! Not only fun but also very screen accurate.

And while it isn't as screen accurate, the 07 leader class figure is an absolute blast!

With the repaints they've done of Ratchet and Starscream, I wonder if we'll get a tan desert deco of this figure for the one that appears in DOTM. We need that in Studio Series too!

Funny thing is, Brawl is one of those characters where I'd say that, outside of his 07 deluxe arm connections in robot mode, he really hasn't had a bad toy. Nothing amazing (except maybe leader class), but he's always solid

I had SS Brawl for a while, and even reviewed it. But I grew weary of it and had the minions sell it off, for the reasons listed above. I dreaded transforming the thing because of the way you have to wrestle with the chest and the turret sections. And they make you stop transforming some areas mid-way through, so you can transform other areas, and shuffle back and forth between zones. It was just too much work. And in the end, you still couldn't pose it very well. The legs were especially frustrating. Not nearly as bad as the Leader 2007 figure, but close...

But those are my opinions - I'm sure other folks enjoy these figures and I won't take that away from them. I'm just saying that unless MP Brawl does something really amazing to step away from those past issues, I won't be tempted. And I have my doubts, because MP figures in general are really advanced and they often wind up magnifying the frustration rather than easing it.

The figure looks excellent. But it lists 79 transformation steps. I've had several of the movie Brawl/Devastator tank figures over the course of years. The 2007 Deluxe figure. The 2008 Leader figure. The Studio Series Voyager. Because I like a good tank figure, and the movie figure looked pretty neat. However, as time went by, I let go of each one, either selling or giving them away.

And the transformations were the main reason. They were just too fussy, too fiddly, too complicated. The engineering necessary to get the tank figure to turn into the robot figure required too much effort IMO, and I felt it made it so the figures weren't any fun.

Secondly, the robot modes were too encumbered to get decent poses. In most cases, the articulation points were all there, so there was great potential for good posing. But there was so much parts crashing that the poses couldn't actually be achieved.

And while this MP Brawl does look amazing, it also looks as of both those issues would be front and center. So unless I saw it on deep discount, it's most likely a regretful pass.

Are you me?

Because I did the same with the same reasons.

Even if that MPM Brawl look nice, I doubt I'll ever buy him.

And if Bonecrusher serves as an example, I doubt it will ever go on clearance because of the limited number produced.

The benefit of him being a Target exclusive here is we get to use their random toy and Transformers specific sales on him to get $25 or 30% off him even during pre-order. I paid $140 for my Bonecrusher, others were able to get better deals with earned gift cards.

He'll probably be at the $165 price point at Target like Bonecrusher and Blackout were despite being drastically different sized figures. Not sure how that translates for you.

As expected.

So that mean that translate to: "Wait for a sale to buy, and if he's never on sale and disappear, eh..."
