Robotoyz have her up for preorder too. Not an overly expensive release thankfully

[MayzaPrime]

Eb games has it as well

$320 for a grey Arcee!!!!

I'm sure there are some Asian sources that are even cheaper, but HLJ have it (https://www.hlj.com/mp-55-transformers-masterpiece-nightbird-shadow-tkt18923) for about au$160! (plus gst and shipping... but that's not going to be another $160)

Yeah, I ordered from HLJ... couldn't justify EBs price

Robotoyz is $240 plus shipping, so that's still better. With the added bonus of payment plans. So I'll order there

I know it?s a repaint but I never thought I?d see Nightbird in the MP line. I didn?t even think Skids would get a look in. What?s next? Autobot Spike?

Does Nightbird even transform (into a grey Arcee vehicle) in the show??? :confused:

I'm looking foward to an exclusive stand alone MP Kremzeek.

Negative, she doesn't transform at all. While I like the changes made, and the reference to the Legends figire (which was a recolour of Arcee), I don't think I'd bother getting this. I have MP Arcee and think it's pretty good, but this just doesn't tickle my fancy.

A mockup of the box for "Nightbirdshadow" has been tweeted out (https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/08/31/takara-tomy-transformers-masterpiece-mp-55-nightbird-shadow-440314).

There's some new piccies of Nightbird tweeted out by Takatom with her mask off referencing a one shot in a web comic. A rather nice touch I thought, so since it's refencing a legends comic, I translated it.
Here is the tweet with the picture for those interested:

Here is a link to my translation of Nighttbird's extra comic.

Most of the MP with a faceplate have a face underneath. Cool and all, but I'll keep the faceplate on mine.

Really great looking figure. A bit steep price-wise, but I know that's the go now for MP's. :(
