    I’d rather repaints than reissues. Do Hauler, not Grapple again.

    Is a reissue batch really that necessary? At least up until recently, the previous releases of these guys have been readily available. Haven't checked in a while.

    And seconding the request for Hauler. I am interested to own at least one version of the mold, but I went 3P for my Inferno and Grapple because I couldn't stand the lack of vehicle mode detail on this. And I'm not a fan of Artfire.

    Meanwhile I’m over here waiting for Deepcover, Spin-Out, and a new character Black Ironhide

    Why does he have to be a new character when Protect Black Ironhide is already a thing? It would be like giving G2 Sideswipe a completely new name and identity.

    It’s what I personally want. To me, “Black Ironhide” is boring. “It’s Ironhide! But black!” Make it a new character and add to the mythos rather than just a new paint job for an old guy.

    Just like we got Loudpedal instead of “black tracks”.

    Then the new character black Ironhide could join the ranks of his fellow MP Diaclone guys Delta Magnus, Road Rage, Clampdown, Tigertrack, Cordon, Loudpedal, Exhaust, and Bluestreak*


    *Bluestreak gets a pass since he’s a different character from Streak.

    Next year seems to be a year of reissues when it comes to the MP line.

    By far the most fun mold I have ever transformed. The ladder transformation will never stop to amaze me. Unreal.

    Glad they're getting reissued. Is this an Asia thing? Or will AJP carry them as well?

    If memory serves me well, Grapple was the first MP I got from AJP before I knew they were that awesome (and that they shipped to the US).

    Wow, the price isn't jacked up too badly. I was expecting $160 at least.

    I highly recommend the figures.

    And I'm waiting for a Grapple retool from PotP Inferno because I'm a glutton.

    These are getting reissued, why exactly? And for the 35th anniversary on top of that. Come on Takara. How about you change that to 35th anniversary mall exclusive MP33+ eh?
