Tokyo Toy Show 2014 Takara Tomy Exclusive Masterpiece MP-18B Streak Update

MP-18 is "Streak"; that's why it's not blue.

I have it already pre-ordered. I passed on the original Bluestreak so this will probably be a nice alternative.

Same here. MPs should be about achieving greater media-accuracy than was possible in the '80s, but this interesting exception is like they're taking that holy grail that taunted us from Bluestreak's original instructions and made it even better. I doubt I'll ever care about Tigertrack, but this I gotta' have!

Waste of time, it's a f*cking fiddly and fragile mold that isn't worth the multiple releases it got.

According to online retailer Captured Prey the upcoming Transformers Masterpiece MP-18B Bluestreak will not feature a blue deco homaging the original Diaclone figure as was initially speculated. They are reporting this version will come with an all silver deco minus the black founnd on the standard release, the silver will apparently be a lighter shade as well.

According to our information, this figure will be a "Silverstreak" deco, using a lighter shade of silver and without the black parts seen on the original MP-18 Streak. Product images are placeholders provided by the distributor.

But wait..............it seems a blue Diaclone version is in the works! Captrued Prey followed up with the following message on their Twitter account:

So we could be getting both a Silverstreak and a Bluestreak as special versions of Streak? Here's hoping if true.

talk about a "streak" of luck!

NO.

Dunno why everyone is so nuts about a blue Bluestreak. The name refers to the dictionary meaning "continuous, rapid, or interminable speech: to talk a blue streak," which defines his character. Is it just because his Diaclone precursor was blue, or can people not be bothered to think more closely about things?

I don't need the all silver G1 toy deco.

I'll be in for the blue deco when it comes out.
