The chest windows aren't the same as the truck windows. There is some kind of wizardry or deception going on in the transformation.
I'll wait for the Chosen Prime to do their stop motion transformation video, and that will save me from paying the $500 to transform it myself.

Re: MP-44 Optimus Prime V3 Full Color Images and Accessories!

I'm not a fan of the cartoon aesthetic the Masterpiece line has been using (since Ironhide or Inferno I think). While this captures that look superbly, that's not what I want at all. MP-10 looks so much better to me. Even if this wasn't priced through the roof, I wouldn't buy it.

Re: MP-44 Optimus Prime V3 Full Color Images and Accessories!

The dodgiest part of every OP figure has always been the trailer hitch part at the back of the cab, it must be said; but this one is the worst yet. Zero attempt was made to hide the unfolded robot parts, no panels to smooth it out, nothing. Just a mess of blue and white parts that didn't have anywhere else to go.

WJ M01 Evasion Prime has the best truck back mode.

The thing is, there may not much savings even if you could accept the price and even if you could preorder this from Japan at about 30% off MSRP, it will likely cost at least $100 to ship this due the big box and weight. And you are also very likely to have to pay a very high amount of import duty too.

If you preorder it from Amazon Japan, shipping won't cost much and import fees will also be small as well (similar to how much they charged for MP-43 BW Megatron). Too bad that doesn't really help with the price of the figure.

Re: MP-44 Optimus Prime V3 Full Color Images and Accessories!

Ok, honestly looking at MP-44 and comparing him to MP-43 BW Megatron's price tag, I just don't understand where Takara is getting MP-44's price from. Megatron is massive in pictures, towering over both Primal and Dinobot, plus Megatron has electronics (LED's I think) and a few accessories to boot. Prime has the usual, plus a few extra like the Starscream parts and the jet pack. But does that justify 50,000¥? BW Megatron was only 25,000¥ when first announced. Doubling the price just seems like sheer greediness on their part.

A3U put up the pre order $600 Canadian. Lmao. As with MP10, looks like I’m waiting for the Hasbro release.

Re: MP-44 Optimus Prime V3 Full Color Images and Accessories!

I'd rather spend the same amount of money to get the 3 TTM exclusive MP Conehead seekers.

Or I can buy a lot of gunpla or SH Figuarts
