Toy Review - Masterpiece MP-10 Convoy ver. 2.0

[kaiden]

yeah i'm not interested in paying $300 due to terrible exchange rates, a smaller, crappier revision (imo) and well TakaraTomy's reasoning that because they've made something new - we'll pay more.

I'm still hurting from the previous disappointment in MP Rodimus. $200 for a trailer that doesn't quite fit right and all the other problems that they felt did not need proper play testing but just revisions.

so if their master plan involves releasing MP10 as black, grey, white, purple and whatever else colours Prime has been then they can go screw themselves.

Only IF Something:

needs to be a good price, given I have 2 masterpiece primes already, and masterpiece hot rod is $60 at the moment, 250 +postage is out of the question. maybe for $100 plus postage, but no more than that. I really hope the next masterpiece is a new figure.

I do think it's very nice, well detailed and articulated but it's still 3 times too much money.

I'd like this but the price really kills it.

So it's a no to the Takara version for a lot of people, but what about when the inevitable Hasbro version (sans Trailer, but with a guy who looks like HiQ but isn't named HiQ) comes out? How many takers at the $80 - $100 price point?

I will get the Takara if I can come up with the $$$ But I would also get the Hasbro regardless.

I'll be waiting for a domestic release.

After thinking about this, Mp-10 is something I'd like to get down the road, but the price is just too much for what it is. Id be much more inclined to get a Hasbro release without the trailer if the deco is reasonable...

Perhaps when MP-10 Last shot version comes out.. hopefully by then itd be prices more reasonably.

Quick comparison of TakaraTOMY's MP10 w/ Hasbro's -- just the cab robot so far...

I can see what some people mean about TakTOM's eyes being dull compared to Hasbro's. The darker metallic blues on TakTOM's eyes seem to work better in theory than practice. But overall, TakTOM's darker colours do look much nicer. I like how TakTOM even painted the interior of the gun stowage compartment black! Cosmetic differences aside, both chest doors on my TakTOM MP10 do sit flush, whereas one of the ones on my Hasbro MP10 doesn't, especially in truck mode.

Nice image Gok.

Hasbro has the yellow paint app on Primes 'collar bone' ... a nice touch. TakTom looks to have a darker plastic grey which looks great with the darker blue.

Well worth getting both if one can afford it.

You know what is weird? When this MP 10 first came out, heaps of people on another forum were upset saying it was a step backward, too small, overpriced,bcankles etc and that they would rather keep their MP1 /MP4 and pay for the third party mp1 downscaled ripoff for generations series.

Fast forward a few years where are they? Almost all of them have an MP10 now.

It's funny how certain sections of our community can be so fickle!

I've had MP10 for a few years now and daaam it's the best G1 Optimus prime we have and will probably get ever. Our community is growing older and I doubt takara/hasbro will ever revisit Optimus prime in his G1 form again at least in a ready to play, transformable form. I'm not really sold on those highly poseable non-transformable statues.
