Has the Masterpiece line come to an end?

[Megatran]

But I also think it's very likely this month's hobby magazines will reveal Dinobot in full for a release by the end of the year, making it 6.

And/or perhaps redeco(s), remould(s) as well. Or perhaps not (). Anyone know which day of the month these JP hobby mags get released?

The only US G1 MPs that I can think that Takara's ever done are:
* the limited exclusive variant of MP Grimlock (with the Marvel US colours and crown).
* MP G2 Sideswipe - the face sculpt and accessories based on the G2 US comics.
But these are both variants of already existing MPs that they made. I cannot think of a single new-mould MP that Takara have ever made based on a US G1 character that was never released in Japan.

You've reinforced what DELTAprime had stated ... That is, Takara MP releases included US characters. There was no mention of specifics relating to 'new-mould' or US characters derived from an existing mould... until you brought that up.

That's it. It's not a lot. And even then, 3 of them are from 1686, *snip wall of text*

A bit before my time but we know what you meant.

The MP line has always been more about quality over quantity

I don't really agree with this as we seen so much quality issues on the recent masterpiece is not funny.

That topic has been brought up numerous times & debated extensively elsewhere.

Same goes with MP5 Megatron's dubious product development timeline (which many do not give a baboon's backside).
