Colour pics of MP Ultra Magnus

[spiderken17]

I gotta say that I am more excited about Wheeljack and BB than Ultra Magnus. It doesn't "wow" me. I don't think I will pay full retail for one.

Why is everyone so put off by this one pic of UM when most of us were drooling over the earlier prototype pics where he didn't look so "fat". I'm sure in time, better color pics will surface and have us all drooling again. Surely it's just a poor angle.

That's what I'm thinking. The angle and the pose are emphasising the upper torso's bulk.

Paintjob looks a bit sparse to me, like the shins ought to have the touch of red seen in some illustrations (admittedly not the cartoon). I think his inner legs would have been better white and blue on one side perhaps? Maybe the red works in vehicle mode though.... and it's maybe early/hand painted so i guess it could change. The buttflap is barely noticeable though

I'd say it's paint isn't completed, as the G1 toy has some stikcers for the shins. That's a lot of white otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised if the tag in the bottom right corner of the photo above says "This sample is a WIP and not the final item"

There's got to be more paintwork on him. The chest, waist and shins all look unfinished. I think placement in the display limiting photo ops (this one looks much like the crap one from before) and floppy prototype is all that is causing the fuss.

Sparse it may be, but it's mostly screen-accurate. Maybe there could be some dots of paint here or there, or some pinstriping on the final product.

The red on the lower legs is almost certainly for the trailer.

I still say BRING ON THE MAGNUS!

what...?

The Ultra Magnus truck in grey and purple at the back... makes me think of Motormaster.

And wouldn't that make for an interesting boxset - recolours of four Autobot cars as Stunticons, on the back of a purple/grey Ultra Magnus as Motormaster.
Imagine how much that boxset would cost...

There is another pic of him with his arms down and he looks way better

Looks alright from the start to end.

Had a quick search but didn't find anything...

Anybody know what postage for this from nippon-yasan will cost? Tried on the webpage but it didn't show.

Cheers!

What are those pieces between the colour version and truck mode? Are they add on pieces?

if they did that I'd be really disappointed. It wouldn't be a Masterpiece line anymore. I'd hate for Breakdown to be a recolour of Sideswipe - he needs to be a proper gestalt.

in another close up pic the two pieces on the left are the human figures and those two black pieces on the right look like fists.
