So, he can transform into his battle station mode too. Even though that mode has interest for me, it just adds to how amazing this figure is shaping up to be.

Hmm, Saber has hollow forearms. A bit disappointing on an MP figure.
Looks like a slight delay on Star Saber, pushed back 6 days from 15th March to 21st March.
A short delay like this is probably more due to a busier schedule at the Factories that push back limited release items like this, rather than a reworking of the toy (which would have resulted in a bigger delay).
At least it isn't a month or two like Wheeljack and Bumblebee.... but it's still three months away so more delays might still happen.
I'm least attached to this Masterpiece compared to the recent Masterpiece releases. Perhaps because Star Saber is a Japanese TF and not as well known as other characters. There is something about the blockiness of the toy (forearms in particular) that dampens my enthusiam. But the purist will probably enjoy the homage to the G1 version.
He's sword is definitely not short in length, that's for sure. :eek:
I know what you mean, and it's for that reason that I don't really collect Japanese G1; they're just not toys that I grew up with. :o But I'm getting MP Star Sabre because it's a much cheaper alternative to getting a G1 Star Sabre; i.e. consider the cost of pre-ordering an MISB MP Star Sabre VS the cost of purchasing an MISB G1 Star Sabre today, then factor in the quality of both toys... easy choice. ;)
MP Star Sabre is positively lithe compared to the original G1 figure! :eek: Sure, some of it will be blocky, but that's because it is homaging the original.

The sword can change length. ;)
i can't wait to get him so i can run around the room shouting "Let's say go!"
Never grew up to know this fella by cartoon, I only saw the g1 toy and said I wanted one but never really got there. Here's my chance and I took it.
They can delay all the they want for a proper job. This guys is my fav TF character so I can wait :)
Only thing more epic than that is broom-brooming a future MP Masterforce Ginrai around singing "Masterforce! Everytime we fight, Masterforce! We grow stronger!"
