MP-37 Artfire with Targetmaster Nightstick

[BigTransformerTrev]

If Artfire drops in price the way Road Rage did then I may pick him up. Otherwise considering all the other TF lines coming out it's just too expensive to grab every MP variant.

[Lord_Zed]

It's accurate to the original so the appeal is there if your a fan of the original design.

Yeah but the original toy has more detail on the legs, the MP one has flat toon like shins, on which the stickers also look flat and kind of tacky.

Might go for an unofficial option on this one.

Looks like the amiami listing is up.

[Set Contents]
-Artfire x1

-Optional face place "screaming" x1
-Rifle x1
-Character card

It looks like NO STICKERS for artfire as inferno's listing mentions stickers, meaning the markings are tampo's.

Here is inferno's listing for comparison

Both a good thing and bad depending on your opinions on lack of molded detail, they should of used the shins from mp grapple as they have molded detail unlike inferno

One thing to note is that the list price has been increased by 1,080¥ for Artfire compared to Inferno. I was looking to pick this one up from Japan so it's a small bummer, especially given that PC has it listed for $10 cheaper than Inferno.

you mean the other way round given you should be ignoring the list price, the actual selling price are:

Amiami
Inferno 12,480 JPY
Artfire 11,270 JPY

Takmall
Inferno ￥15,120 JPY
Artfire ￥15,120 JPY

I was using the list price since the retailers seem to use a standard 20-30% off the list price.

I was going off the amiami links which have the list price as 16,200¥ for Artfire and 15,120¥ for Inferno. Inferno's actual selling price now is higher than the pre order price which was in the 10,000s. Maybe they have the list price wrong since Takmall's are the same. Anyway will wait to see what NY lists there's at.

Its just been listed on the TakTom Mall, but the listing's incomplete and no pictures have been added yet. So far all the pictures feature undecorated grey parts, those parts will be chromed or painted in the final, and only then will images be posted to the Mall. The package contents are equally incomplete, those are foil-backed stickers, not tampographs, since they're not listed, they may either be pre-applied or just have yet to be added to the description, The Mall entry for Inferno also omits stickers/decals in its contents list.

Here's a Translation of the TakTom Mall entry
Italics=parts obviously included but not listed or notes

Introducing Masterpiece Cybertron Targetmaster Warrior Artfire!!

Targetmasters are Transformers partnered with Master Warriors who can convert into weapons.

Artfire is a character from the Transformers ★ Headmasters series, although not appearing in the cartoon, the original Japanese character first appeared in a comic published in a children's magazine at the time. Based on Inferno the white & red redeco is also based on the two-tone colour scheme of Japanese Fire Trucks, utilises parts from Grapple to reproduce the "atmosphere" of the toy released at that time as much as possible. Comes with a new mould of his partner Targetmaster "Nightstick", although small all joints are movable, in weapon mode can be attached to Artfire or, when used together it's possible to recreate action scenes.

Product Contents:
Artfire body including Square-Shaped Head, "Passive" Face for the square-shaped head, "Scale Vehicle" grill(1), Targetmaster "Nightstick"/"Space Beam Cannon" - New Mould(1), Rifle (1), "Shouting" Face Plate from Grapple(1), Character Card (1)

When do the Hasbro Asia bonus accessories usually get announced?

Curious for what MP Inferno, Megatron and if the reissues will get coins or other accessories like what happened with Shockwave.

[DaptoDog]

NY has just listed it for 10,280¥.

NY's shipping can be pricey but I'm going to stack it with other preorders to bring the cost down.
