    Yukikaze looks like the cleanest one too me. Looks like part of why he and Getsui have those exaggerated knee bends and Medicus legs is to allow for Raiden to bend his legs.

    Thanks for the images! This looks spectacular, it's been a long while since I've been excited and impatient for a figure but the hype is real with these guys. Yukikaze is I dare say the best-looking out of the three so far.

    The combined mode is also looking a lot better now that we can see more of it. As with previous reveals, Yukikaze might be slightly oversized here for emphasis (or it might just be the glow effect).

    So Kaen is upper thigj jkints, tighty-whiteys, and will cover the front of Shouki? We cant see Shoukis headligts in tbe lightened original silhouttes, meaning something must be covering them

    It is reminding me more of an old-timey diaclone product, especially thst face sculpt and head, its quite samurai-esque.

    Raiden's head can fold up and store inside Yukikaze. Cool!

    Fuck yeah! Usually Kaen has Raiden\'s combiner head but this time round it\'s stored in Yukikaze. Awesome. Super hyped now!

    The leg kibble now looks symmetrical.

    Yep, Yukikaze is looking great! And I’m happy to see the Combiner a little better with both legs and the head no longer in silhouette. Raiden is looking really good. I’m looking forward to another piece to the puzzle in 3 months. It should be an arm coming next so that should really give a good idea of what Raiden will look like in the end.

    I can’t for a day or so, but it’s not that hard. Just need a VPN and a YouTube downloaded; I use Nord and Video Downloader. If no one’s done it by the time I have a chance, I’ll knock it out.

    I got real excited for that booklet until I remembered that I can't read Japanese.

    Compared to the prototype on which the silhouette is based, it appears to be incorrectly positioned and sized in many ways.

    No, the G1 leg cannons were separate parts that were quite flat. The MPG ones look like they are made up of the backpacks of Suiken and Seizan and as a result look blockier than G1.

    Hopefully soon, I have the first 2 pre ordered from them as well, found interesting that MPG-02 is a few dollars cheaper then MPG-01. Either way loving all these new MP's that are coming out, and thank God for ajp as it saves a lot of dollars...

    Loool, in the fb groups people are on another level: now they're insulting who collects takara trainbots

    https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/dp/B0...psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&tag=transform0c-22

    Matters of hours, i think


    EDIT: Yen is falling down, price should be around 140 bucks shipped with tax and all
