    New designer? More sophisticated knees, an ab crunch, and it looks like new hands.

    Wau, wow, yeah!! Grandmein will come after all!

    I'm about to get more excited than usual, this was so good news. The long wait is rewarded after all.

    Wow, what a start of the year this has been, easily beats many previous starts of the year. :music  (Some epic music to get you in the mood.)

    You don't think so? ShowZ typically is cheaper than USA retailers. Plus ShowZ has free shipping and no sales tax.
    It wouldn't surprise me at all.

    I’m so excited for this thing.

    One complaint from looking at the picture: I don’t like the new hands. I hope they provide swappable hands that match the hands used on their teammates as I want the whole team to fit together.

    I mean, everything they've released in the past 3-4 years has been a QC nightmare or close to it, so just simply getting it released is barely half the battle with MT these days. I'll wait to see how it turns out.

    I don’t want to see MT die. I genuinely hope their HMs see the light of day, and their Coneheads… would absolutely love an FT announcement of both though.

    I’m not going in on this but will enjoy seeing others getting their HM set one step closer to being finished.

    Someone wake up @luckyman76, you'd think he'd be happy about this too. ;) 

    What do you say luckyman76, are you happy about this news too? :)

    I am definitely hoping for this and will get it if it comes out. Their Chromedome is pretty good, Pointblank is very good, and Hardhead is just wonderful. Hardhead is right up there amongst my favourite figures. I'm certainly more excited about a possible MT Highbrow than most other figures of the last year. So, fingers crossed!

    I think the better option would be for them to provide new hands for the other two but not sure how feasible that is. I've had those two in storage for a hot minute.
    Honestly if all goes well I'd be nice to see them to a redesign of Cupola some time far down the line if they get back into the swing of things. It's a decent figure but there's a lot that needs to be improved by today's standards. I remember the ankles in particular being terrible.

    I am glad to see more detail added and a design direction consistent with Cupola and Ironwill.
    I did not like the lack of any detail on the forearms in the old prototype.

    Not enough roundabout talking with no actual information provided.

    And, yes, fully articulated hands for the first two.

    This is true, though I have noticed a "foreign transaction" charge on my credit card bill on purchases from there.

    I want to believe. I want to so much. Show me more than a render and fuck I'll bite and sing MTs praises from the roof top. But I ain't getting invested yet, not until there's something concrete. A render and a listing doesn't mean for certain things will go through, please prove me wrong and slam this guy out like a boss.
