Masterpiece MP-23 Exhaust

Suppose it's too much to think they'd retool a bunch of panels and try and get a Cliffjumper? As for Exhaust, colour has grown on me, he will be a definite, but the head as others have said, not really g1 style so alt mode it is.

Cliffjumper if done accurately to his real life vehicle modes proportions is so different proportioned a car that 'reshelling' would probably be impossible.

I imagine we will see Ratchet and Ironhide in the near future as it is another mould they can get multiple characters out of. I would get both and a Jazz for sure.
They could also redo Bumblebee as Goldbug and use that mould again.
Saying that, some non-Seeker decepticons would be nice (not an obscure character like Exhaust).

Wonder what's up with the rest of the jp stores, I would have thought they would launch them by now.

Awaiting for their allotment from Takaratomy? Or maybe waiting to see what competitors are pushing their pricing at? It boils down to reputation of store, postage cost now.

Places like RobotKingdom and BBTS put up preorders whenever because it doesn't matter to them. All the Japanese retailers have to wait until the preorders are supposed to open to put them up.

Looks like some more photos or at least better photos:

I've recovered a bit from my initial reaction to this guy, but I think the combination of paint job reminiscent of Marlboor along with the head sculpt (which actually reminds me more of a Battle of the Planets bad guy) work well together to appeal to me. Like Star Saber, I'm not 100% but a solid sneeze would probably push me over the edge and into a purchase.
