Masterpiece Theater: the MP thread

[PrimalxConvoy]

I believe they're doing OPs for MP continuously because the market in Japan is getting smaller and smaller. Even in MP, they're basically circling the drain and rehashing OP and trying to squeeze every Yen they can before Takara gets bought out by Hasbro or someone else.

Why not other OPs?

Why not other OPs?

The 50 people in Japan who still like Transformers don't care about anything past G1.

I went ahead and put in a preorder. This Optimus does it for me. I don't need the trailer, he comes with accessories that I like. He'll be my MP Prime and I'm cool with that.

I really like how the back part is more realistic. Since I already have MP44 (and Faith Leader) I didn't need them to drill in harder on Sunbow. For me, I have really liked the last bit where they were really into Sunbow, but Prowl and Sideswipe were fine. I don't keep a list in my head of what we are still lacking from TakaraTomy, but if they are going to pick up and continue, I hope they are still as close as Prowl and Sideswipe. I feel like this Prime is.

I opened MP Super Ginrai today. He is a solid Classics Super Ginrai.

I opened MP Super Ginrai today. He is a solid Classics Super Ginrai.

How tall is he as Super Ginrai? Can you post a size comparison pic with another non-MP figure, perhaps of similar height?

[Sabrblade]

Wow. He's pretty short for MP scale.

Wait, does this mean he's roughly the height of MP Star Saber? I don't know how I feel about that since it's supposed to be the taller God Ginrai, rather than Super Ginrai, who's Star Saber's height.

 

[Axaday]

Star Saber is difficult to access at the moment. I don't know.

That is a really big Scrapper!
