What's funny is I'm always super careful not to stack my figures up like that cuz I don't want them to get scratched.

 

Finally, he's very welcome to join my collection  

 

Found him!

 

So the design was closed when that colored prototype was shown a year ago and it's not been released for any remodeling purposes?
 

 

Yeah, I feel like all these piles of toys are explaining some Magic square QC issues. “Assembly line? Nah, we have an assembly pit”

 

Like some 80s movie, police car pileup.

 

So, back to grey pants-triangle after that being shown red on months old promo shots? That's odd.
Hopefully, that Patrol deco has gone too at least.

 

Any factory pictures I've ever seen is the same with plastic bins full of half-assembled figures. Seems pretty common. Only photos I've seen where the figures were sitting more carefully placed was because they had painted die-cast.

 

Those piles are nothing new in the world of 3p manufacturing.

Primer before the red is applied?

That's my hope too.

 

Oh, finally... I feared MS Prowl V2.0 was going out before this guy  

 

So dumb question, is Prowl different than their Bluestreak somehow? If so, not sure why they would have taken the time, effort, or energy to do so, Bluestreak was pretty much perfect, one of the best MS releases yet.

 

Did they ever do a blue Bluestreak? I love the look of this mold, but I don’t think it’ll scale well/look right plastic wise with my NA & IF collection. But I’d make an exception for BLUEstreak.

 

No, their Bluestreak is cartoon silver. A blue Bluestreak is actually a great idea, milk us silly MS collectors for another mold.

 

A pool of Prowls, nice!  

 

Well good to see their factory is working again…or whatever.

 

Prowl, Bonecrusher and Scavenger. Jazz is in motion. MS is busy again  

 

This is the answer of why lots of MST are scratched!  

 

Prowl's front wheels should be visible on the backs of his shoulders. Bluestreak's are not.

 

I was contacted on Weibo today by someone stating that parts of the figure have been re-designed, including the lights. Not sure how true it is, but we'll see soon enough.

 

Oooooooooooooooh!!!! I so hope that's true - thanks for sharing that information!
