Thanks to the official Takara Tomy website, we have more news regarding the Transformers Masterpiece MP24 Star Saber figure, in the form of a lenghty interview with its designer team, including Hisashi Yuki. The interview, found here, is in Japanese, but we can summarily report that it mentions decisions about size, stability, poseability, reference material and accuracy - and includes a nice good number of images, mirrored below for your enjoyment!

I don't hate this, I just have little interest in it. Star Sabre was never on my radar as a kid so he has no place on my Masterpiece shelf today.

I've never seen any of the Japanese-exclusive G1 series (like Zone, Victory, The Headmasters etc) so I don't really have any attachment to the character. Regardless that is an amazing looking toy- they seem to have completely nailed it. IIRC, Star Sabre is one of the most beloved Transformers ever in Japan, and they look to have done him justice. I'll bet there's some very happy fans over there right now.

Its great to get a little insight into the design of these figures... I wished that some of that design process translated into something that came with the figure and into the box. I would love to have the rough sketches and pictures of various prototypes to be included as a book with each MP. A good example was the franky shogun figure from soul of chogokin earlier this year.

I don't get it. Do you mean the fragile, easily break off parts of Megs? I don't think Yuki would have had much say on materials would have been used or if that is the case, then the suits at Tomy must have opted for cheaper materials ( for one after hearing the horror stories on MP-05 fragility never transformed him).
Design wise, given the base alternate mode of Megs, for it's time, that was state of the art. Hopefully a more buff and sturdier version and in scale to MP-10 will be released.
But if true, the 12 day deadline to release such an intricate and complicated fig is amazing.

does anyone think that... japanese TF fans resent us? pretty much everything hastak releases is geared toward us. even when MP SS was announced, and number of our fandom were upset that an obscure(ish) character we never even had over here was getting the MP treatment. anyone think they feel that way about us? and MP1-23?Va'al wrote:It was the result of a fan poll, so you'd hope so!Delta Magnus wrote:I've never seen any of the Japanese-exclusive G1 series (like Zone, Victory, The Headmasters etc) so I don't really have any attachment to the character.

Star can hold his Saber Blade the right way in one hand. I might just be able to sleep tonight. Thanks Sabrblade.
I noticed for the first time, in the pic with the guy holding the figure, that it actually has rocking hip articulation. (pun fully intended.)

Something just hit me. Sure his battle helmet reminds me of the RX-78 Mobile Suit. I just realized, after looking at him closely, the V-star reminds me of the Core fighter attached to the G-booster. Nearly the same red, white and blue motif.
Kind of like Starship Maximus reminds me of Pegasus Whitebase.

Not surprising since Gundam was huge at the time and Star Saber was heavily based on the RXYZ, especially in the feet.
Rifle and can hold the sword right YES!

You're missing my point. It should have been pretty obvious that I was not referring to the gray prototype and/or the painted test shot - that's not what we're getting in the end.
All I was trying to ask, in different phrasing, was if folks thought the final product will be as sturdy as the test shots.

As Hisashi Yuki continues to post image after image of the upcoming Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-24 Star Saber figure, showing off poseability and aesthetics, the official Takara Transformers Twitter account have joined in the fun, revealing something new: the shield, already seen in promo images, also doubles up as a stand for the V-Star!

That is a really ingenious idea to make the one time use weapon as something practical for the toy so you can avoid having to store extra parts separately from the toy.
The more I see Takara bringing in the updates, the more I really want my Star Saber.

Yeah, he killed his best friend & turned him in to a pair of platform shoes & a backpack. I am fond of him.

It appears...to do everything right.
The cartoon version, that is.
For those who haven't seen the cartoon, I mean that the cartoon version of Star Saber was made to be a Mr. Perfect type who can do no wrong and is always looked up to as the greatest bot ever.

1. It was under Ginrai's request.
2. Ginrai was paralyzed somehow and could not fight the Destron Army and didn't want to live being trapped in his crippled body.

If it were a real life situation, I'd do the same for my friend (except turning him into an elevator shoe/backpack combo).

Star Saber: "What!? Done for!?"
God Ginrai: "Even though I can still talk, I can't stand up, and I can't hold a gun. Can I be a commander like this?"
Star Saber: "You'll get better soon!"
God Ginrai: "Supreme Commander. Allow my body to be reconstructed, so that I can become a power-up for you!"
Star Saber: "R-reconstructed!? You three! Did you tell him bout by power-up reconstruction design!?"
Perceptor/Wheeljack/Minerva:
Star Saber: "Why!?"
God Ginrai: "Don't reprimand the doctor. I made him tell me. And this is something that I decided on my own."
Star Saber: "But...!"
God Ginrai: "I will die and be reborn. Even if my appearance changes... Doctor. Show us."
Jean: "No! I don't want the Commander to change into a form like this!"
God Ginrai: "My decision is firm."
Star Saber: "Even if your decision is firm, I won't allow it! You may be reborn into a new lifeform, but the lifeform known as God Ginrai will disappear forever!!"
God Ginrai: "The doctor has already given me a long lecture. Even still, my decision is firm."
Jean: "I still don't like it! Commander Ginrai will be gone..."
God Ginrai: "Jean... I won't die. I'll be reborn."
Jean: "Reborn?"
God Ginrai: "If I am reborn and I combine with the Supreme Commander, we'll be able to stop the Destrons from doing whatever they please!"
Jean: "But the Commander I know will be gone, won't he!?"
God Ginrai: "Jean, please don't worry. I'll always be your friend."
Star Saber: "No. I can't just use your body."
God Ginrai: "There's no time!"
Star Saber: "Time?"
Perceptor: "He will still live if he remains here. But if we are to resurrect him as a new lifeform, we must begin the procedure before any metal corrosion sets in!"
Star Saber: "God Ginrai..."
God Ginrai: "I made this choice myself. Let me fight by your side once again as a Cybertron."
Jean: "Commander Ginrai."
God Ginrai: "Jean... We'll still be together, now and always."
Jean: "We'll really be together always and always, right?"
God Ginrai: "Absolutely."
Perceptor: "Is everything prepared? We're beginning the procedure."
Wheeljack: "Everything's okay!"
Star Saber: "God Ginrai. I'll make sure that your death will not be in vain! And... I'll never forget you."
God Ginrai: "Even though I can still talk, I can't stand up, and I can't hold a gun. Can I be a commander like this?"
