Images of in hand product samples. Frenzy's weapons can apparently be held by Soundwave, and supposedly so can his Hammer Arms.

Where is frenzy? I only see rumble

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

I can't wait to get these, though i guess i have to until i have some money.

Looks like this is ready for release, why delay it to 23rd march?

The more I see, the more I want MP-13 and his minions...

I'm sorry but these look crap. I'm assuming they are the final versions as they are pictured with the box and instructions. If they are, people will no longer complain about paint app problems on MP Sideswipe In fact, I'm predicting that in the next year Takara will move away from the AM sticker sheets in favour of little paint jars.

The only saving grace for these is that they are the same size as the G1 cassettes which I will be displaying with my MP Soundwave.

Many better photos here ... unfortunately highlighting some pretty shoddy chest paint work.

Hope it's not widespread... whilst i've been lucky with all my MP's to date, i have to wonder just what are they doing to get such shoddy paint?
I have a couple of Super Robot Chogokin figures from Bandai and they have pristine paint right down to the tiniest sections. Not a single scuffy line on the whole toy - Bandai make it seem like anything's possible (even at very small sizes), but looking at some TakaraTomy toys you'd definitely think otherwise!

Edit: We might be jumping the gun a bit:

I heard from my "sources" that people are again getting into the factories making these and that's how we're seeing these pictures. They're rejected figures that people are getting and selling apparently. Which explains the bad paint and such. I'm fairly certain this isn't gonna be a huge problem with the regular release figures.

They look quite shoddy on paint apps, but like Optibotimus said, apparently they are rejected ones. We'll see. Not enough for me to absolutely want them.
My encore cassettes suit me better.

They're meant to be "samples" that aren't meant to be available to the public. I think they do them as an incentive for retailers to make orders, but the final product may vary.

The Frenzy in the first lot of pics looks ok, but the one in the second lot is terrible. I find it hard to believe Taktomy would release one with paint aps that messed up. Guess we wont know for sure till the release date.

Still keen though, based on the fact I thought the last two MP's were good. I reckon these will still be better than almost everything else Hasblow releases this year, which these days isn't saying much sadly.

They look pretty good, I'll probably get them

So they are going to be FIBRIR (Frenzy is blue, Rumble is red) ?
