    Thanks! Pleased with how Mirage came out as well, but he's a little hard to see back there.

    Hi everyone! I love seeing all the MP pictures here and I finally (after what feels like 5 years) got my hands on a brand new MP44 Convoy V3.0

    [​IMG]

    Can someone share some info on what version this sleeve box is? It looks like a hasbro/takaratomy sleeve for an English speaking market. Inside is the regular Takara box with contents. Thanks!

    I believe it will be a Hasbro China release? Unless someone can correct me.

    Looks like Hasbro Pulse. They put the English sleeve over the OG Japanese box like that. Kinda cool!
    Hasbro Asia is just the Japanese box with a Chinese language sticker on the bottom.

    Decided to make some conductor rods. Came out nicely. If I ever make more, airbrushing would be the better way to go. Still, I have a bunch of them now.

    Thanks! everyone. I'm in Europe but my partner got it at BBTS so it's most likely Hasbro USA.

    Hello everyone after all these years of being in the fandom I finally decided to dip my toes in the MP field with one of my favorite Transformers characters Road Rage

    63ED7590-B631-46B6-A181-61241289D3D7.jpeg

    She’s great and I see why people like the MP line but she’s not perfect anyway to tighten her neck joint?

    Has MP-44 become scarce in the aftermarket in Japan? I haven’t seen it in a while on Mandarake nor Jungle.

    I haven't seen many on Yahoo, and not many at a price I would be a pay not being a reissue.Its cheaper buying one stateside for the most part.

    I preordered him! I had my eye on him before finding out he has a link to Road Rage, who I also bought a year ago (or is it two now? Time flies!)

    i agree that she’s good, although her floating head bothers me a little bit. Makes me wonder if I’ve mistransformed her, but I don’t think so.

    No you haven’t mistransformed her I’ve fiddled around with her enough to know that they tried to tighten the hinge but it didn’t work out as well as they hoped. Tracks and Loudpedal have tabs for them to rest in making for a much more stable neck

    I never knew that Road Rage had a different neck.
