MP Star Saber coloured prototype

[GoktimusPrime]

From a Takara and Japanese POV Japanese G1 is "normal" G1. Star Sabre would be as nostalgic to a Japanese G1 fan as say Thunderwing or Bludgeon would be for us. I've seen a Japanese fan utterly ignore toys like Lio Kaiser but drool over the Triggercons (which were never sold in Japan). What we might find exotic is ordinary to a Japanese fan and vice versa.

Very true, the price of the Western packaging release of G1 items in Japan is significantly higher then what we generally pay in their stores, saying that I could count on my hands how many I saw.

Ignore Lio Kaiser

Is it just me or do the chevrons on his chest look more silver than gold in a few of these recent pics?
Probably camera flash and not a big deal, but i hope they're a little more gold in person.

Is gold, is the angle that makes it looked silver.

I just got a payment request for Star Saber from HLJ. It's now in stock there.
Let's say go!
