MP-12G - Masterpiece G2 Sideswipe new images

[Hursticon]

Do we know what month the release should be? I hope it doesn't fall alongside the regular Sideswipe re-release. I need both.

Nothing firm at the moment I don't believe, but most places seem to think an early 2014 release is most likely - Possibly to coincide with Takara's celebration of Transformers' 30th.

Ohh i see ...i thou that was the orig G2 toy for comparison ...

lolol, MP Lambor's not that small!

Got to admit I'm liking the look of this.

I don't usually go for MP repaints, but damn that is gorgeous! At least this makes more sense than MP cosmic-space-prince Rodimus.

Quite often I've found that BBTS, and occasionally TFsource, will throw up a preorder page simply upon catching wind of a possible figure/item release - Often with little more basis than: "So-n-so's computer had this code in it...".

This recent pic certainly seems a little more solid at least.

In this case though, Hursti, production/prototype sample was announced at this years Tokyo Toy Show. But, i do see how other items without some form of tangible content may lead to skepticism

Here's a question though: Have BBTS ever been wrong with the preorders they've put up on the slightest hint of a new MP?

Reminds me of Generations Springer. They used the FoC concept art as a placeholder. To this day, I still would've preferrred Springer as a jet/buggy.

Wow! I guess I will be owning 4 version of the mold

Once, years ago.

And I do means YEARS ago.

Wouldn't happen these days.

Heyyyy. That's an awesome deco.

I'd own it in a flash if the knees weren't arthritic on almost every single one.

I am not big on MP's, but this is seriously one difficult release to skip..
