MP Star Saber coloured prototype

Do you guys think it's worth getting an MP Star Saber?

Just like to hear your opinions about it

yes. from all the photos of the toy - its definitely worth it just for the toy alone. also, if predictions turn out true - they'll make victory leo to combine with him.

i'll get around to watching the tv show later but for now i really want that toy.

Now that he will have die cast in him this figure gets better all the time.

Die-cast at this stage is all additional pluses to buy it.
For those who are still thinking, you are now left with the more expensive online stores to order from.

I actually wanted the g1 as a kid, despite its stiffness in engineering at that time. Just couldn't afford it.

So is victory Leo a known fact or hearsay at this stage?

if its ever confirmed - it'll have its own thread.

It's not even hearsay. Nothing has been heard, and the only people saying anything are people who know nothing.

And at risk of being a downer, I kind of doubt we'll ever be seeing an official Victory Leo. I'll be happy to be proven wrong on that, but the MP line is still very much a niche thing, a supplement to HTTs main TF business of flogging cheaper toys to kids, and Star Saber was itself a special Japanese-only "Fans Choice". It doesn't seem likely to me that they'd spend the time and resources to design what's effectively an add-on for Star Saber when they could use those resources to make a probably-better-selling character (most likely with remold potential) instead. Even if they do another Japanese fan poll I reckon another Autobot leader character would win over Leo.

Again, I'll be happy to be wrong - I'm liking the look of Star Saber and will pick him up when he comes out here, and would very much like a Victory Leo to go with him - but I doubt it'll happen anytime soon.
Though I imagine a few 3rd Party types will probably put one out sooner or later.

Or how about having him be backward compatible with a G1 Victory Leo to combine them.

A bit late right? They would have shown otherwise.
