So, the v1 had the V shape on the hood, you can tell in bot mode that the red goes on the feet a little. That's the super rare version. You got v2 which is still a V but kind of square. The feet dont have any red. That's the main one that is out there. V3 is tfsource only and is totally squared on the hood and it's painted over the factory paint. Oh my! The history is more than meets the eye!

Thanks supafly. Was told by the guy I get my MP's from that they came from tfsource, I have the v2 version from your description. So thanks for the info. Would have been a tad upset to have opened the figure to see that repaint.

That was the one I ended up getting but didn't keep it though. Shame that they would do a V2 and not say anything if that's what happened

I've heard different reasons for the issue with Exhaust among them that Philip Morris merely suggested to Takara that cigarette advertising on a toy may not be prudent and Takara did the rest. On the other hand, one store owner told me that PM tried (and failed) to sue for CR infringement when he refused to unshelve Exhaust. Who knows. There are some around with the exact Marlboro paint though.

TF-Direct has the KO version for pre order at $34.95.

Will this KO version come with the satelite jammer thing-a-ma-gig like the TT version?

The KO looks to have the original paint job too. Pretty cool.
