It's... a miniature version of himself? That's really lame, but I'm guessing they're going for cartoon accuracy here. This is one instance I'd rather it were more like the toy. But it's amazing that they kept every gimmick intact. Time will tell if he turns out to be my favorite, but Star Saber is certainly shaping up to be the most impressive MP.
LOL, it just occurred to me, this little guy is the original Minimus Ambus.
Edit: March? Bummer, I thought it was February.
I missed that announcement. Oh well, gives my wallet more time to recover from the holidays.
BTW, the shield is not an exclusive, right?

Be the first Materpiece 2.0 I do get. Can't wait. I have no real attachment to Saber, but its a cool figure and character I want to have in my assortment, and the amount of love the deisgners put into this figure is just astounding. The Swords, even incorporating the display tand as a usable piece of the robot, it's just too awesome.

Easily the best Masterpiece figure made. This fig raises the bar for all the future MP toys issued.
Here's hoping I have enough funds to get it...

The head, the torso, the shoulders, the forearms, the knees, and the feet were all meant to look like this:

The toy was like that. It had the details of the larger form molded into itself. It was just completely unpainted (unless the silver on its face is paint).kirbenvost wrote:It's... a miniature version of himself?

I never realized the original brain of courage had all that molded in detail. I just bought it because I thought it looked cool. Learned about Victory way later.

Looks very nice, I had to watch "Victory" to understand the concept... I pass, I am not attached to it.

Now that we have MP detailing, "Courage' is basically the mini me of the supermode. Kind of like the Matryoshka doll concept.
Can't wait until March/April 2015.

So it does! Shockingly, I never took that close a look at images of the little guy until now, lol. I can't complain about that then. Well done Takara!

Ok...this guy looks cool, but I'm kind of confused. How many robots is this?
Re: New Images of Masterpiece MP-24 Star Saber with Brain of Courage

1.Brain master=Courage
2.Starsaber
3.Starsaber+ Vstar
That's like 3. If you include Victory Leo for the Victory Saber formation, 5.

Close. Inner robot is just "Saber". Super Robot is "Star Saber". The Brain has no name (other than "Yuuki no Brain").fenrir72 wrote:SkyWarpt wrote:Ok...this guy looks cool, but I'm kind of confused. How many robots is this?

So it's like g1 Mags with armor over saber?

No. He's got a core robot. UM MP doesn't.
Now that we're at it, for those who own the original Brainmasters, if an MP version, no matter how unlikely, will be created, does the core 'bot look like a mini me version of the transector body?
