The Yaniger face is hilarious. Second-best Masterpiece toy ever.

Whats the first best?

King Grimlock (MP-8X). I love both Marvel Comics Masterpiece releases, and welcome as many more as possible.

Really? I would have thought that with his ease of transformation, stable robot mode, great scaling with other MPs and absolutely no problem rusting that MP-05 would be the first best

Hey why no love for MP Megs?

What people see as rusting actually gives him character. The guys been around for several million years on Earth & doesn't go to those manicure parlours. Probably can't stand the toxic chemical fumes.

I am slightly miffed MP-12G did not receive the same sort of Marvel boxart as MP-08X.

This should show where I stand.

FINALLY! An image of MP-12G WITH the toy stickers IN robot mode!!! Thank you

Hehe, cheers man

The Rear-spoiler stickers were really fiddly to position correctly, I still ended up with a couple of microns of over-hang at the center seam frustratingly; The "SS" stickers are split too, which made them doubly difficult to place, as one has to now factor in both lateral & longitudinal positions of all 4x "S"s.

I'm pretty happy with the end result of the stickering, have a feeling I'll have to keep tabs on them pealing though; the Red & Blue clear-backed stickers that supply details to the upper-forearms, feet & midriff have an adhesive that doesn't seem to want to hold still and instead tends to slide around on the surface a bit.

I'd also forgotten that Sideswipe's hands aren't able to fully enclose around the handle of his weapons, so they tend to want to un-peg from his palms; the Machete on the other hand is totally void of any such tabs but is held really firmly in either hand's grasp.

All in all I'm extremely pleased with this retool/repaint as I have a super articulate, larger interpretation of the original that's also really fun to transform - The new headsculpt is just pure win too, not to mention the shoulder pauldrons and wicked-cool new guns!



...oh yeah, Goki, be entirely prepared to be disappointed if you thought this iteration of the mold was going to answer your qualms with the shoulders.
