To the thread starter, could you be so kind as to take a photograph of the head rotated around so as to attempt an eyeless G1 toy appearance

I just got shipment in stock. Awesome figure, well worth the wait. Transformation is AWESOME, great addition to my MP Autobot ranks.

 

Feel free to join the rest of us in the 21st century ; )

 

My mistake, I meant to say 21st.

 

Thanks for the review man, Im actually worried that i blown my budget for the 2nd WJ lols. So you think the mold is better than the datsuns?

BTW Seems like your really serious about being a professional reviewer? Well i think you should try a video review man. You are already well known for your reviews here in TFW so i don't think you will have problems in your audience.

 

TCracker, I think you should keep doing what you're doing: provide awesome pics and analysis of the new MPs, usually before the rest of us get them!

Personally, I can't stand video reviews. If anyone has seen one that isn't a video of some dude's awkward hands taking up the whole frame while he messes around with a toy providing mumbly banter to fill the awkward silence, then please show me the link.

 

Yeah, same here. Video reviews are not usually my cup of tea, plus I prefer to use the internet in silence. I love your photo reviews TCracker, they're always the first review I check of every new MP that comes out. Keep up the great work man!

 

Nice photo's as always   cant wait to get this guy and it will be a long week!

if you dont want hands in frame i would say check out my showcase video's   when i have wheeljack i will make a video   link to my channel is in the signature  

 

*phew* Glad it's not just me! I've only clicked on a few and they're always painfully uncomfortable.

 

Im not telling him to stop doing picture review or anything guys, but i think making video reviews and enough subscribers will help him achieve his goal. Just look at those video reviewers who gets to review a prototype 3ps. Of course its his call just a friendly advice anyway,  

 

Yeah you're quite right, and as long as he doesn't stop doing the pictorial reviews none of us will mind of course  

 

Mine should be here by Tuesday.



Soooo stoked for him!

 

Can someone with a flight stand pose him so he's flying with the air jets in his arms, like in G1?

 

Thanks to many of you for the kind words. I am very appreciative of it.
Just for the record, I am absolutely not interested in doing video reviews. Mainly because I dont have a good voice to begin with.

I am aspiring to be a good toy photographer and I am still improving myself as i go.
Granted my pictures are not as great as some board members here but I think it is good enough to a certain extent.

All I can say is I am still kinda bummed out that no 3rd party companies are taking notice of me and 3rd party companies only send prototypes to people who are prolific.

In the end, I believe my pictures can do justice to a figure. But in the end if they don't notice me, so be it. I will still continue to do what I am doing.
I have my own FB toy photography page. feel free to like it and browse the pictures there. Let me know what you think.

Anyways, MP20 is an awesome toy. a must for every TF collector. Yup, it is that good.

 

Absolutely gorgeous! Both the alt mode (Lancia Stratos) and the bot mode are so dead on accurate! Just lovely! Wheeljack was always my favorite G1 Autobot as a kid -- his awesome racing car mode, his wacky mad scientist personality (for science!), his inexplicably heavy Brooklynese/Italian-American accent (OK, given his Alitalia sponsorship logos and colors, maybe not so inexplicable) on the original G1 Sunbow cartoon show, the fact that he was responsible for creating the Dinobots -- all translated into a very cool character!

I absolutely hated the fact that the writers decided to kill him off-screen in the animated TFTM film in such a random and insulting manner (to make room for the much lamer Season 3 Autobot characters), and the fact that I misplaced my original G1 Wheeljack toy when I was on vacation as a kid at Disney World / Epcot Center (and that Takara had long since lost the mold and was unable to make any more of the toy). This Masterpiece figure has been a longtime dream of mine and now it's finally realized!

Excellent photos, TCracker. Really does make the figure pop! It's a shame that I'll have to wait a little bit longer to finally get this guy in hand as I had preordered two of his figures via Japanese Amazon (already shipped and received) to my dad-in-law's house in Japan, and it'll be a few more weeks before I'll be there in-person to mess around with MP WJ (along with MP-21 Bumblebee x2 and MP-22 Ultra Magnus x1). At least the price was right and I'll get the coins and his lunchbox, er, hypnosis thing-a-ma-bob(s).   Arming Jackie with two pistols and two shoulder missile launchers will hit me in the G1 feels too!

 

Great pictorial review as always. Keep up the good work and improvement.

Damn son I was just at Epcot yesterday, if I woulda known I woulda kept an eye out for him!

 

It's like we have 1985 on the brain or something.

 

So I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere yet, but what kind of material are the mirrors? Are they a hard, rigid plastic, or a somewhat-soft-but-not-exactly-rubber material like Prowl's mirrors? Just curious, as if they are rigid and prone to stress marks then I'm not even going to bother installing the mirrors.

 

Hard plastic.
