Also please, please don't be a straight up repack of an earlier version. It probably is though.

To be fair, I'm sure there's got to be a segment of folks that drove demand for this. Anyone here that still hasn't picked this up over its history of plentiful global releases from Hasbro and Takara, where this release is the one where you're thinking "at last, I will buy that"? Note that I'm not talking about repaints either. The Hasbro one had the TRU run and I think two Hasbro Asia runs, and Takara's fifth or sixth run of MP-10 came out early this year/late last year iirc.

It was a dumb statement, you're right to be confused

Both are indeed in "G1 colors", just slightly different. They're identical aside from the shade of blue used, the eyes, and the lights on top of the cab. Many people think the lighter blue is more accurate, but the dark blue is actually closer to what he looked like in the show.

If you mean the same as this:



Then yes, its the same mold.

Exactly the same, barring any other arbitrary TRU markup.

Indeed! Fun fact: actually cut a short few minutes out of the last episode where she talked about it because the news hadn't gone Officially official public, officially.

Best not to think too hard about that.

Anyone know what I can do for the dead-looking eyes on the figure? I'm currently negotiating a price to purchase the Takara MP-10 from a fellow Seibertronian and want to see if I can get the necessary tools to make the adjustment so I can bring Prime's eyes to life.

Let me know with any solutions?

this direction?

Awesome! Thanks a lot. While we're still on this topic; anyone know where to get the Ocean Eyes decal for MP-10's eyes?

Thanks!

I could care less about the box. I saved $30 bucks on Takara MP Thundercracker with a banged up box. I started collecting MP late in the game and the only reason it was still available was because of all the picky mint box collectors lol. Thanks guys.

Who said anything about mint boxes or being MISB/MIB collectors?

I actually just bought a MP Dirge with a dinged up box. THAT I'ma open too.

Rated X wrote:So let me get this straight....

Youll buy the exact same toy to get a box variant, but you dont care if the box is damaged?

You hinted you were a box completionest on the Black Convoy reissue takara thread...

You bought toy for package art no offense but that's waste of money
