    This is good news if it means there's a higher chance we might see the two Headmasters as well ;) 

    Unlikely, the low budget flipper hands were a thing on their Seekers, too. Unfortunate on such large figures that want to be considered masterpiece-grade takes on the characters.

    If it sells well, no reason they wouldn't do the other two. Sounds like this one should arrive in November, so it's possible they get the other two out in 2020.

    Ah, yep you got me. Dirge is the only one we've seen as a painted test shot. The others have all been grey prototypes.

    Having said that, I'm pretty sure the coloured pics of Endgame have been banging around since April.

    It's taken them six months to go from showing the final colour scheme on what looks to be a full test shot, to where we are now, and we still don't have an actual release date.

    Now that Peaugh has gotten a copy, we can be pretty confident that this is coming soon.

    Has by far the best wings/canards of ANY Dirge since the original G1, but the "ugly mustard and grey" toon colors just ruin it for me. I would really like to see this mold, with the colors on the Toyworld sample (which were better than what Toyworld actually released).

    So multiple people have copies but we haven't heard anything about them? I just want to know if it has the looseness of the Sunstorm release. Is there a gag order on the early releases or something?

    That's kinda how it used to work when review samples were a more common thing. Funny thing is MT has been out of the 3P TF loop so much they must have thought companies still send out samples lol

    Hey works for us. Means they have to put more effort into QC before production finishes, and we get an idea of how the final product will be.

    I wish they would have added some decos on top of the plane.

    Dirge has JReam shins attached. Lol.
    :cool: 

    I wonder if these will still come out with the wing fillers. Since those have long since come and gone.

    A lot of the places specify which wing fillers come with each character, TFSource says Dirge comes with the wing fillers for Meteor/Starscream Make Toys Re:Master MTRM-15 Endgame w/ Free Gift

    They DO look good. I've got problems with each of my Takara Coneheads, so I can see me replacing them when these some out.

    Toy-based colors would fix that.
