JP version MP-10 Optimus reissue (black box) May 2015

[Gofigure]

Pardon my ignorance. Is the Takara Optimus toy different to the Hasbro?

The blue is a lot darker and quite striking from what I have seen.

Hence I want this version on my MP shelf.

Takara Prime is painted red while Hasbro is red plastic.
Eyes are a darker blue on Takara. Looks kinda dead.
Inside of trailer is painted on Takara, Gray plastic on Hasbro
Takara doesn't have paint apps on the running lights, Hasbro does.

Really it comes down to what scheme you prefer. I'm more than happy with my Hasbro version, but can see why others prefer Takara.

Since Japanese retailers have this listed it must be an actual Takara reissue and not the normal Hasbro HK reissue of Takara Tomy product.

Remember the rumour last year that said Takara would reissue MP-10 and some other MP's? I wonder if that rumor might be panning out despite the initial scepticism of it.

Since I need a MP-10 Matrix for MP-22 and I passed on a cheap Hasbro MP-10 with Vector Sigma and I'm not taking my Matrix out of my existing MP-10 (cause principles) I might consider getting this reissue if I can get him cheap enough. Then I'd have a MP-10 to display as a TRUKK!

Yeah the rumours was SHOT down, you wonder who gave that info. This means mp11, red alert, and the rest will come in "possibly"

Oh yeah, Bummer to all those selling this at high prices. Pretty sure I am lucky not to spend $400 to get either Hasbro or Takara one, as you be now holding both for that price.

One thing though, my wallet is already dented before May, this is real bad.

AE is cheapest followed by NY and amiami.
You are spoiled for choice to be honest and silly if you going to order last minute to find it all sold out if you haven't gotten a mp 10.

IMO I like the red on takara better but the head is better on hasbro.

I find mp10 riffle is too short and they shouldn't have made it foldable gimmick as it doesn't look right. I have thought the riffle was stored in the trailer.
Could be wrong just my thoughts only.

[Bladestorm]

Oh no... another MP-10 I MUST have. My poor husband is going to be shaking his head.

I really like the red on this one... almost enough to keep it in truck mode if it is indeed that colour on the finished product.

One can never have too many red trucks right?
