    THIS is the part they dont understand. But nothing's worse than those that want something for nothing.

    The lowest is 9,198¥ not including shipping.

    Yes the lower price is updated/reflected on your order details. Though if you’re in a country that pays import tax, that won’t be lowered retroactively.


    He fits inside. It just doesn’t look as ‘neat’ inside as MP-44 so they didn’t show it from that angle.

    They have a line of licensed chibi cars. The only issue would br getting the companies to sign off on a Transformers version.

    All this talk about whether Spike fits inside or not made me think of this:

    Ooh thanks for posting that, I forgot he had the "corrected" bright yellow paint and blue glass in that video. Gives me hope that's the final version.

    I do wonder how the final version will look. The figure used in that video is very floppy and chipped, clearly an early painted prototype, and the very first prototype we saw (at Wonderfest, I think) had the blue painted windows. But everything since then has used the clear windows. Who knows, though? Right before MP-21's release, he was shown at some shows with blue headlights. I guess we won't know until someone has him in hand. Unless...

    ...Phamduc knows already, of course. :) 

    Personally I'm not a huge fan of the blue windows on MP-45, as I think they're too dark, make his backpack more obvious and also add a green tinge with all of that yellow. I'd rather a lighter blue. What's the difference in the yellow, though? I didn't notice that was different in later pictures. I just pray he's not orange like MP-21 - they really messed the colour up on poor MP-21 and I'll be gutted if they do it again.

    Most of the stock photos have an orangier hue similar to MP-21 (though maybe not quite as orange, and I don't want that either!) At least two of the stock photos plus all of the painted prototypes have the brighter canary yellow:
