Truth be told 2016(5),2019(5) and 2023(4 as of now) are more outliers than the average. I wouldnt be surprised if you remove them it works out 2 new molds a year since the reboot.

 

Hasui nostalgia blindness is a very real condition

 

Need my MP fix come on Takara!

 

I want to see that Cliffjumper be up next and not be scrapped.

 

It's crazy how mainline has been spoiled until the end of the days, and we don't know half hint about next MP

 

Needless to say, TT will be at the Tokyo Toy show, Hard to say how big the MP display will be with mainline/ MP/and MPG all displayed since you have to account for ZOIDs too.
Correction read the tweet myself zone 1 is TF/ ROTB

I see my mistake, a pretty big chunk from zone 3 ( tiny square) to the exit is all Takara products from all their lines for the most part. The big light blue chunk/ wedge should be TF

 

It’s been disheartening to me because FT Parkour looks so much better than the prototype official one we saw. I still want Takara to release it, but I wish they’d clean up all the kibble.

 

And the feet.

 

I would have taken that CJ as is, but if TT is deciding to hold off on it, maybe there’s some reworking going on. I do wish we got some kind of word one way or another on it.

 

Parkour is too square and lifeless which is very common on FT

 

Was there suppose to be a Japan convention happening in a few weeks? I'm curious. Maybe we will see MP58 or this is their chances to get Porsche into Takara products.

 

The rate Takara is going I'm going to be hip deep in Diaclone . It would be nice if they at least threw out a teaser for something

 

So is Hoist anticlimactic, or is this good enough for now?

 

Definitely good enough for now, with Kaen reveal next month aswell atleast we are getting some movement

 

It would be if we had something solid. What have we actually got on Hoist so far?

 

No, just means the " run" starts a little later, hopefully they announce a reissue or repaint for December at the show in week or so. Weve gotten a December release the last 3 years. Also a good chance of another reveal at show at Wonfes or an unpainted prototype at TTS to go up in July or August.

If its a delay for Jazz, I would guess ,they either have to wait till the movie is is playing in Japan or the licenssd SS version is actually released before we see their MP announcements.

 

I'm looking forward to see how much Hoist will be retooled from Trailbraker. If I remember correctly Grapple was stated to be 50% new parts compared to Inferno, this might be even more.

 

Hoist being MP-58 and releasing in January doesn’t preclude any TTMall exclusive MPs being released at the end of the year.

We could get a Trailbreaker repaint with that toy head the KO came with, for example. Or a + repaint of another carbot (Tracks?). It would just have to be a release that’s a repaint of a previous release, so that it doesn’t get its own full number.

Alternatively some reissues would be nice for the end of the year.

Most likely though, those gaps at year’s end are for a couple of MPM releases

 

We got a glut of releases from Dec to March this year counting MPMs and the Camera crossover, so it isn't crazy to expect more of the same by the end of the year. It would be great to get CJ as a mall exclusive in December 

Also seems the MPG schedule will go June,September,February

Also TTS starts the 7th, possible 3rd reveal, get Hoist and Kaen out ahead of it?
