I recently got the KFC hands and gun set for MP-10, and I'm blown away by how much better he is with those seemingly minor add-ons. And, since I figure that can't be the only incredible 3rd party set, I'm just wondering: what are your favorite Masterpiece add-ons? Have fun, gang!
I'm not much on add-ons, too much money going to figures, so getting both in one go increases my interest. This is not out yet so no guarantees it will be good, but based on the look alone I'm looking forward to this. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...vergen-trailerforce-tf-02-not-god-bomber.html
The simplest and cheapest mp add on was a cape I bought for mp-01 prime. One side red, other purple. Got it on clearance at bbts a while back. I no longer have mp-01 but the cape has since adorned the shoulders of ares, feral Rex, mp grimlock, uranos, custom evil repaint decepticon of mp yhth prime and my custom acid storm repaint into starscream. It looks absolutely stunning on him and I've got no plans on giving the cape to anyone else.
I might get railed over the coal for liking it. But so be it. The Guilty Set for the Datson Brothers. The shoulder cannons were all awesome and fit each character well. They look better than the Dr Wu sets, and cost way less.
I think they're great, I just love accessories. I would pay like $40 for a pack of accessories from TT if they ever wised up to make one. Guns, humans, some other random stuff. Most of it would just be molds and little assembly, it would be easy money for them without tons of engineering costs. I've got the Dr. Wu cannon kit for Prowl and the Gatling Gun upgrade for it. I also have the cape and crown set for MP-3. I think they're both great.
The animated set with the allspark and stasis cuffs is cool, the f/e optimus swords and blasters too, i have quite a few 3rd party pieces, i like em all.
The Dr. Wu weapons for springer. Gave them to standstorm because his default gun looks so stupid. Never looked back!
If you like those hands then you'll love the similar style Datsun hands by Fan Style. Better quality too.
MP-01 cartoon head by igear MP smokescreen reprolabels MP soundwave reprolabels There is one more I want but don't have, and that is the flame upgrade for Grimlock.
Other than loose thumbs those hands are actually really nice and the ones for streak look amazing on rodimus
I agree with zfarsh in that the iGear cartoon head for MP-1 is outstanding. Really takes it to the next level imo. I also really like the upgraded hands and gun for MP-10. Very nice upgrade. But talk to me in a few months when I can hopefully get some stuff for Wheeljack, like the bazooka by Dr Wu and the immobilizer from Mad Machine. Really looking forward to those.
The fact you need third party add ons to finish off your Masterpieces tells me they're not Masterpieces at all.
Here's a list of them all. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...y-add-kits-official-masterpiece-products.html Personally, I like Justitoys MP-5 Upgrade Kit and Dr. Wu Partners for MP-10.
GCI just announced these Guild of Concoctionous Intent - Jack Cannons for use with MP-20 or any of the Lambos
Thanks for the all suggestions. I certainly appreciate them! I've been thinking about the Partners set, the Datsun hands, and the Dr. Wu Datsun set with the cannons and six missiles; I just wanted to know what else I was missing. Have fun, all!
