Masterpiece MP-23 Exhaust

Hmmm the head sculpt doesn't seem to fit for my liking... I will stick to Wheeljack myself :) Enjoy for those you are excited!!!

Probably not, I have no attachment to the Diaclone colours of Magnus at all.

haha, shiggles:cool:


on the names side of things, is marlboor a version of the Marlboro brand somewhere, I would have thought that would be a good alternative.

This will be the second Mold of Wheeljack repainted into Marlboro colours in as many years. interesting.

This is still probably worth as a collector's item. I am not sure I want to display this guy at all with the rest of my mps.

I think it's good that there's another Decepticon but personally I'm not really liking the look of it. Also, I think because there's no attachment to the G1 line ... not that I know of anyway.

Wow. This is one of the 2 diaclone repaints that are must buys for me- the other being blue blue streak.

The only question is: should the eventual stickers say Marlboro or malboor?

Probably can't print malboro at risk of
being sued..

I'd much prefer Marlboro, but i suppose Marlboor would be ok, much like Citanes instead of Gitanes, Alitalla instead of Alitalia or Martinii instead of Martini.

If all else fails, Spiderken suggested

They are made for all the HDT cars that were sponsored by Marlboro during the 1970's and 1980's. They are good quality as I have got some for the Brock cars in my collection.

I think this is the case, there is no way the next figure would have been ready by March, so Takara used Exhaust as a filler.

I love my MP repaint/retool and I really don't care if its MP23 or MP20E. I will be buying this and it is going to look awesome with my 'exclusive' MPs

Looks like a vehicon.

Colour me underwhelmed.

i don't know about Exhaust being a filler character. Surely TT are able to keep count of which MP is which number & would've been the plan all along.

I think that a TT, unlike the previous repaints have decided that there's enough of a difference to give him his own number.

About time we got some more decepticons. :)
