Then he would be even cooler than he already is.  

 

Cool.

And since when were Takara and Hasbro Asia the same?

 

Given that is is form Hasbro Asia it should cost around $300. Their stuff is always way above USA and Japan pricing. What is the availability and release date I am wondering. Shattered Glass Optimus has a History of selling out and going up in value very quickly.
Because Hasbro has the license not Fun Publications, they can decide to continue the series of toys in perpetuity. If this goes well, we could finally see an MP Shattered Glass Rodimus.

 

Damn, now to start saving! And I was just looking at the SG MP10s on eBay too!

 

I'll take the high quality KO, and save $180.

Thanks.  

 

The KO is a lot cooler

 

Hmm.... actually, looking at the comparison, the KO does look nicer. I still like the greenish energy axe and transparent bits of the official version, but the black stripes and giant Autobot symbol on the KO look really good.

Nevertheless, I'd rather go official. Or maybe both, with the KO displayed in truck mode. At least they look different enough that it won't be hard to tell which is which.

 

Thing is though this seems to be a Hasbro release and not a Takara one (distributed by Hasbro Asia). That step count is distinctly Hasbro. So I think that unlike Eva Convoy which I think may not have even been an Asia release at all this one won't be AS expensive. I'd guess it's $200 or less.

 

While this looks awesome, I don't think the price will be worth it since there are very affordable HQ KOs.

 

The KO has painted eyes going for it, a not-trivial difference between the domestic and imported MP-10s. It also has cool neon green toes. But the green plastic on the official is better than the yellow I think.

The big Autobot symbol is cool. It would be cooler if it were the right color, and if they had figured out a way to get rid of the symbol on his shoulder.

 

Looks nice. I'm still trying to decide if I need 2 evil Primes in my collection.....

 

Fuck me, that looks bad

FunPub is a cancer that should never have happened

 

  Plenty of people got sweet figures and had experiences that they enjoyed through fun pub...ymmv as with anything else.

On topic this figure is pretty nice, planning to pick it up.

 

From what I heard, the KO had very dodgy QC.

I hope a preorder for this pops up soon.

 

any word on target price yet?

 

It's Hasbro Asia so easily more than 200. Skywarp was 200 and that's without Prime's trailer. I wouldn't be surprised if it was $300.

 

Yeah, watch benscollectables' video on the KO. He didn't get the front bumper on his prime.

I dont much care for the lack of paint on the black grill and such on the ko, and i dont like the lack if those sweet sg autobot symbols on the official's arms. Also, why is the autobot logo on either one not purple? It seems more pinkish to me.

I'm kinda with Ben on this, gimme an MPP10SG.

On another note, between the KO and the official, it's kind of like you have your choice of finished or unfinished synthetic energon flowing through your Sg prime.

 

My redeco hopes (these are customs from google but you get the idea):

Spoiler

Sideswipe



Sir Soundwave (hopefully with a green headband accessory and recoloured cassettes)



SG Rodimus would be cool but I don't know if it would happen. MP-09 is an old mold now, and I don't know if Hasbro would use it. MP-28 is Hot Rod, not Rodimus. I have to admit, MP-09 in Rodimus colours looks friggen sweet



Thundercracker- complete with eye searing Action Master colours

 

This would be awesome

 

I love the idea of SG getting some more mainstream release, but damn I wish it were with Generations molds. however SG MP Thundercracker might change my feelings on getting MPs.
