US & JP Masterpiece speculations, rumours & wish-lists

[drifand]

Given the MP line's preference for character model accuracy, would MP Jazz have door wings (like his G1 toy) or not?

Never noticed the doors were missing in the cartoon. I don't mind the G1 toy style, it would make things easier in design honestly.

Who do you think the next Hasbro MP will be?
I'm thinking:
Skywarp, they already have release Acid Storm, Sunstorm, Thundercracker and Starscream, why not Skywarp.
OR
Red Alert or Smokescreen, as the other Nissans and Lambos have had recent re-releases (Hasbro and Takara)

You'd imagine they'd be able to engineer a way so you could have the door wings out or could fold them away depending on personal preference.

Thundercracker has not been released in the new box style, so they may reissue it.

They bound to chose one big guy, so Optimus, Magnus or Skywarp is the likely candidates. Small guys like the cars, it will be smokescreen, Tracks as license isn't too great an issue.

I'm hoping it's Skywarp as that would complete my collection of MP-11 mould seekers. $300 for the TT edition is a no-go dor me.

Takara has been vewy vewy quiet on the Masterpiece front of late. Given the speed of releases has picked up we must be due for another reveal. I'm getting an itchy pre order trigger finger. Please be a TakaraTomyMall exclusive MP-11SW.

We have so many revealed that are yet to be released, I think they would wait until some more are released before announcing any more... as it divides the attention and hype if there are too many that we know about at one time.

Announced that are yet to be released...
Thundercracker
Roadrage
Red Bumble
Clampdown
Ironhide
Hot Rodimus
Ramjet
(Ultra Magnus - reissue)
Laserwave
Ratchet
Beast Convoy

There has never been that many Masterpiece toys known in advance, and for those who pre-pay their preorders, that's a massive amount of money spent on unreleased toys.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Personal choice of course but not my preference to be paying full price for a pre-order. Especially with MP where there's hundreds of dollars at stake.

^Agreed. Thankfully most places offer discounts for pre-orders.

I still find people here wanting to pay premium despite threads on where we can get reasonable priced MPs . No idea why but not my business.

My only few high price MPs have been exclusives. Otherwise MPs are very affordable in comparison to many toy collectables .
