Thanks for sourcing the photos Trent. It's looking very nice and the subtle differences from the other molds work really well. Something I've always liked about the Datsuns was the way that at a glance, they all look the same (colours aside), but when you look closer the differences become obvious and make the individual characters unique. This set of MPs really takes those small differences and makes them so much more sophisticated while retaining some subtlety.
Very cool! If you hear some high-pitched giggles of anticipation, it's probably me :)
I'm glad that theyve advertised the cartoon accurate shouldr cannons and havent resorted to using the existing ones. I wonder if those additonal decals are tampographed or if they'll be available on a seperate sticker sheet ala Tigertrack and his Autobot logos
Lovin that front bodykit. Must be a first since the original G1 figure.
So buying that, will look great in vehicle mode alongside the Henkei and G1 versions
He looks amazing, that body kit is awesome, 280Zs are so beautiful.:D
HLJ preorder up.
Hasn't dropped at Hobbysearch or Amiami yet.
Just got a FB update telling me Hasbro MP Soundwave preorder has gone up.
Edit: my mistake it was the Takara one but the second run seems to include all the cassettes.
Edit2: my mistake again. Just a bit of shady business practice on the part of TFSource. Showing pics of Hasbro Soundwave and giving links to Takara.
Finally! Clearer sexier images from Planet Iacon, via TFW2005.
He runs on Devcon Oil and has "SlotFever". I don't think I want to know what that is.
It good that they made changes to him ...but his head looks abit to simple for a masterpiece ...hopefully this is a prototype and more detail will be added ... And the side cannon looks odd...the pipe too small and too high ... like how they changes the shoulder transformation ....wish they also add sun, moon on the front kit
Very impressive paint job indeed, but I also see so many things that can go wrong on the mass production run...:(
Also hope the head scuplt won't affect neck articulation. Hasui's MP designs so far all have decent up and down range.
Smokescreen looks great, Datsun mode especially. I only worry that I feel a bit like the accuracy of his headsculpt and cannons might be almost too much.
This release, along with Hasbro Soundwave and some SDCC stuff will ruin me.
Very nice.
With the different colours, heads and shoulder cannons, plus the remoulding, those three are so worth getting, regardless of essentially being "redecos".
Hasbro are gonna miss out on a lot of money by skipping these three. I hope they shed some light on why at BotCon.
Yeah... sounds like a double entendre, but is just a nod to his Second Season cartoon episode, which he meets up with Devcon at a Casino somewhere out in space (episode was called The Gambler).
Subtle differences in head sculpt is always a welcome. I hope days of just recolouring or repainting into different colours are gone.
Even mp12t monochrome box gives collectors something to smile about. I know it has for me!!
Sensational!! :eek: Can't wait to get all 3! Bluestreak's my fave!
I started out not giving "two shakes of a monkey" about the 3 MP Datsuns... I now have all 3 Preordered... :eek:
A testament to incredible Japanese engineering of Robots & Vehicles? - I don't know, but what I do know is that after buying Sideswipe I simply had to own these guys! :o:cool:
Wheres the best place to pre-order MP Smokescreen now? Anime export sold out...:(
That front spoiler... Where's the drool icon?
Packaging images of Prowl and Smokescreen, with a Nissan logo that is bigger than the Transformers logo... maybe that was the sweetner to get that company on board.
To be honest, I don't care, as long as we get sweet looking toys like these.
Can't wait for Smokie to get released!!! Actually all 3 Datsuns
