    Ditto. Still need to pick up Spinout though.
    This mold really showcases what Takata is capable of. It SHOULDN'T be possible for a toy to have the complex transformation this one does at its size AND be as well articulated as any 1/12 scale figure on the market and still look so appealing. Especially considering that, if not for the rear engine flip gimmick, they could have made the whole thing even MORE compact and cohesive.

    I seriously feel like this design is an example of TT at the pinnacle of their capabilities. I like pretty much everything about it. It’s magical. And sturdy...yet refined.

    I got MP Sunstreaker, it's KO, Cordone and I've got MP Spinout on the way. These are the last official TT molds I've bought.

    Just created a short review of MP-39, and mentioned how to fixed the door hinge breakage. It is just so easy to break...

    IMO this is the best of the Takara Masterpiece figure, cartoon accuracy, great articulation and unlike MP 44 and MP 45, this figure is not prone to paint chipping... A very solid figure indeed.

    Cordon is a true Masterpiece which invokes the glorious nostalgia factor of the OG Diaclone Police carbot. IMHO.
