What an appropriately majestic video for such a majestic song. **** MTV, and later MTV2 for becoming nothing but reality TV shows, and **** VH1 Classic for not being classic '80s music videos 24/7.

I know right! MTV sucks!

So I have been wanting a MP Red Alert and BBTS has had this one up for a while Is this just wishful thinking on their part or is a re-issue actually coming out?

I heard the re-issue was a rumor. An unfounded one.

I'm sure it will be re-issued again. Same thing happened with Sideswipe. I remember it took awhile before the second run/re-issue came out. It's just a matter of time.

Hopefully he looks really cool but I'm not paying the $150 they want on ebay.

Could always just get the Red Alert KO it actually looks pretty nice. (ducks head and runs for cover haha)

Love this new pic of MP-21 Bumblebee from the Transformers Expo. Cant wait to get the little guy!!

I thought about it but couldn't do it.

I heard Wheeljack was being released this week....

There's something that makes me unable to sell my MP's.

Not the case with Hot Toys, I get bored of those really quick. Might have to change my buying practices.

It doesn't help that Hot Toys seems almost solely focused on endless Iron Man variants these days. It's honestly turned me off the whole company a bit (I do still have the BD Arnie T-800 on preorder, though). What with Sideshow putting GI Joe on hiatus I'm almost completely out of the 1/6 genre. These, though - barring a new version of some character, like what happened with Starscream, for example, I won't be selling anytime soon.

Sideswipes covered the front of his chest like that in the Cartoon, but streakers was a lot smaller. I feel like the sides should fold in or something.

Both are still quite bulky compared to the cartoon though. Since MPs create what's basically an idealized version of a character taking from the cartoon AND the original toys, I have no problem with how Spinout is turning out, and that goes for his height, too.

I think I would have preferred a bit of chrome, but it's not a deal breaker for me.

Hopefully...

Pretty sure it won't come out until 9/20
3 weeks.

Totally off topic but my main issue with Hot Toys isn't the common complaint that they make nothing but Iron Man and Predator figures but that they almost entirely focus just on new movies. So consequently their products don't have the timelessness that is acquired by properties that have managed to survive decades of pop culture… like for example Transformers.

On topic, I think looking at Bumblebee, at least for me, totally drives home just how out of sync Magnus and Star Saber look with the rest of the line.

I'll be skipping both of them for that exact reason. Not that I'm complaining, gives me a chance to save up for all the FT Dinobots.

I agree with Ultra Magnus.
Star Sabers size is a bit more nebulous and he's suppose to be pretty big anyway.

Looks like KO

Marlboro wheeljack! Love that he is a decepticon named Exhaust.

And Star Saber is huge!

Massive shock on MP23 totally unexpected & not sure how I feel, might get him but not bothered if I don't...although a new Decepticon will be nice

18,000 yen is less than I was expecting (about £103 / $171)
