Yea... I buy all post-MP10 Masterpieces in 2s, because I am a neurotic moron.

Sigh. At least they're on different orders. One is with MP Bumblebee, and the other is on an order with S.H. MonsterArts Mecha King Ghidorah, so that won't ship until Feb/March. I guess there's still time to collect the shattered and scattered shards of my sanity.

damn howd i miss that? thanks megs

Oh god, imagine Insecticons modelled after the Mass-Production Evangelions and their horrible "toothy whale" heads.

Or worse, Unicron done up like Lilith/Giant Naked Rei. It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling doooowwwnnnn...

But that's not what happens in the story.

Oh, there's an update to the story? Whoops, must have missed that.

I dunno, I'm huge Eva fan so I got busy fanwanking myself into oblivion.

EVA MP10
in hand images

mp10-evangelion-optimus-prime-in-hand-images-t102449.php

Fellow Seibertron.com user hinesika, who may also be DuoDuoTea has posted some nice in-hand images of the Neon Genesis Evangelion exclusive redeco of Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-10 Convoy (Optimus Prime), which was available in limited numbers and for a limited time. If you weren't able to get your hands on this, play Ode to Joy in the background, and take a look at some of the mirrored images below, and head to their thread here for more!

ohhhhhhh...... mmmmmmmmmm....

this tickles everyone of my buttons...

I couldn't possibly care less about Evangelion but that thing is glorious.

I'd like this thing even more if it didn't have so many Evangelion-specific decals. I was hoping for an MP Toxitron stand-in, dang it!

But Toxitron is primarily green with purple, not primarily purple with green.

Purple, green, he's the guy with the gun ugly-ass deco.

I think he looks pretty terrific, actually.

yup. i wouldnt be paying 300+ to get one if i didnt love it.

Man, I want this so bad, but the release timing is also so, so bad. Hopefully they haven't doubled in price a few weeks from now.

so. can anyone lend a hand finding an eva figure that comes with a spear of longinus, befitting the MP10? i have enough MP10's with guns and axes....

The only weapons Evangelion Prime needs to wield ARE HIS FISTS!!!

I did spot this one: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... nt_mention

I'm guessing it's from the latest Evangelion movie. The spears should come with Unit 13 (probably this one: https://otakumode.com/shop/53e0572b735d6ebd6f00271c)

We've seen in-hand images before of the Takara Tomy Transformers x Evangelion MP-10 Convoy Mode "Eva" figure, showing off its purple and green deco on the basic Masterpiece figure. But why not take a look at the figure in this video review by fellow Seibertron.com user Paik4Life - check it out below!

Does anybody know if TFSource actually got any MP10 Eva's? I ask because I preordered mine and havent gotten a straight answer about this order chances of getting fullfilled.

If anybody who ordered from TFSource got their MP10EVA, then that means they did not get enough, or maybe Im the only one who got screwed

In either case, I would think that as a respectable collector store, they would notify or update their customers and tell them straight that they wont be getting their MP10 Eva and to look elsewhere...

I don't know - last I heard was the email they sent saying that the stock was being inspected at port due to possible damage.

They tend to let us know when they do - I assume they simply don't have the information yet.

If you saw my haul post yesterday, then you know I finally got my Eva Convoy! Well I got around to snapping some pics, so enjoy

One just wasn't enough.

Where did yours come from? I ordered mine from TFsource, and there hasn't been much word from them since they reported the [port delay / possible damage] double whammy.

I got it from a store called JapanWorld. It wasn't a pleasant experience. I even made a thread about it. To start off, the whole ordeal is instantly magnified because I bought two one of which was for my friend. So both of us have a pile of money tied up in the place, which I chose. That only made me feel worse

The customer service was really lacking. They didn't actually tell me if the original listing was a preorder or not. When I emailed them, I only got one or two word responses, two days later. A few times they said "we'll have an answer tomorrow", and after waiting two days, emailing them again, and another day of waiting, I would get a response. With KO's coming out of the woodworks, i was getting paranoid.

I would never deal with them again, but in the end I got em.

That sucks - sorry you had to deal with their BS. But hopefully the end result was worth it.

Totally. And my bud stopped by for his today, he was a happy camper!

TFsource offers our apologies for the inconveniences this has caused you. The whole outcome is rather unfortunate; we hope to never have a situation like this occur again. We hope you can understand and that we can move forward from this and continue having your great support!

GODDAMMIT!!!


Anyone know where these are still available?

Yeah, this was a special limited run figure. Had to get 'em quick.

You are not helping.

I preordered 2 from TFsource wayyyyyyy back for that very reason.

Wow. The demand must've been higher than we thought. I honestly didn't think this would be that popular a figure.

It's based on Evangelion, AKA one of the most influential and beloved works of all time in Japan. Anything with Eva on the box is gonna sell like hotcakes.

I got some goodies from my buddy who's a huge Eva fan. No spear, but some good stuff none the less

..I am a little jealous. But also approve.

What should I call the Spike figure for his gallery? Evangelion Technician?

Seibertron wrote:What should I call the Spike figure for his gallery? Evangelion Technician?

The toy seems to still be marketed as Spike (the official website identifies it as such), but wearing the kind of NERV technician uniform seen in the special edition version of the first Renewal of Evangelion movie.

Maybe as "Spike Witwicky (NERV uniform)" or something.

Unless there's any special name indicated on the packaging or instructions (I know not of either case, not owning the figure).
