Really looking forward to this guy. He'll be my first Japanese Masterpiece figure and from what I can assume, he may end up being a Japanese exclusive.
Worried about the paint job like what happened with Sideswipe. Might wait for the second round of releases.
I have Lambor already so I want to wait for a states side release for Red Alert if he gets one. I do like the look of his mold in white. So Pretty!
for that, i think lamborghini's paint might have been most of the issue, wasn't it mentioned that the red paint shade was a requirement?
Do you mean the alt mode colours? I didnt have many issues with the red, a few chips here and there but all in all acceptable. The more noticable qc issues where the silver on the lower legs and shoulder parts. They were very thinly applied and the plastic underneath shows through. But back on the topic, excited? Not really, but I do want him. He does look really good.
WOOT! TFsource said theirs are shipping out from overseas tomorrow, here's to hoping they show up before xmas!
Somehow, i think the possibility of the white paint coming out at least as bad as on Sideswipe...is a strong one. People might be best advised to wait for a review.
I'm thinking in the other direction, that Takara learned from there botchy paint job....eh, second times a charm.
Which shade of red, the one on the roof or the one on the doors? Yeah, MP Rodimus would disagree about learning from mistakes. I am not a fan of the new direction that the MP line has taken in general, but Takara have picked one of the very few Autobot cars that could draw me in to a purchase (Red Alert, Prowl, Mirage or Trailbreaker, really). But, after Sideswipe, I am waiting for reviews to see how it turns out. Surely Takara cant screw up putting white paint on a car... can then?
Possibly . . . yeah! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...6495981710.135698.100983336710&type=1&theater
