Damn. It probably is just the cord for the visor then.

I guess her eye sockets wouldn't actually have the depth to allow something to plug in like Dinobot.

 

Hilarious.

 

I doubt they'll ever do accessories from seasons 2 and 3, since in japan those are an entirely separate series.

One thing is for sure: these are the most photoshopped official pics I've ever seen. I only hope that whatever TT is trying to hide it's just relative to that prototype and will be fixed before release...

 

It is very possible that that prototype is cracked in that area. That's still the hand-painted resin prototype. If you've got small, tight balljoints on those tiny resin parts, it's very possible they've split or there's some ugly glue repairs there or something.

 

I'm sure we'll see some nicer (non photo-shopped) images in a magazine (Figure King etc) in due time.

 

You could perhaps be right. Dinobot is the only character we can really judge that on thus far, and while none of his accessories are specifically for Season 2, I can't help but think that the length of the eye laser is designed to re-enact his iconic disk-shattering pose from Code of Hero.

 

I feel the same, plus a little MP47.

 

I wounder if they'll do a repaint of her in the "powered up" colors from "The Trigger part 2"?

So excited!

Anyone know which is the cheapest place to order it to an EU destination? AmiAmi and HLJ have her for jpy 12,000, but have cheap shipping and their cheap shipping (SAL unregistered) for single items always slips past customs, e.g. for MP-40 I only paid jpy 580 in shipping.

Nippon Yasan is cheaper, but their cheapest shipping is much slower and starts at jpy 2,350, same speed unregistered airmail starts at jpy 2,495.

I think Anime Export is cheaper(10,500) but you have to pay up front. You won't get a shipping quote from them until release.

 

Nippon Yasan pre-order placed. Can't wait for this lovely lady.

 

Just about to place a preorder for BA on AE. Quite sobering to find out while hunting through past emails for my username and password that Cheetor was half her price (5260 yen) only 4 years ago. Good job this is one of my favourite characters, or I’d have passed without a second thought. As it is, they need to be very careful they don’t price themselves out of the market.

 

they wont, enough ppl will buy it including me

 

This, for sure. Prices are only going in one direction. Frankly, I thought it would be much more expensive.

 

Absolutely.

 

Basically $100 shipped off Amazon right now. Still overpriced, but much more reasonable.

 

She actually looks good, hope it has good quality especially in the plastic, I am tired of the Transformers cheap hollow plastic syndrome!

 

Agreed. 5 years ago before they announced Primal I didn’t even dare to think a BW MP would become reality.

Price is irrelevant to me now. I’ll just keep giving TT money hoping that sales are good and they will keep going. The BW MPs are too good to stop now.

 

Be honest, if she's an exclusive non transforming SHF from Bandai and costs 100 bucks, many will still buy her.

 

thats because its not a transformer but a statue   and who wants that
