I've got an MP KO Bluestreak, I like that and I don't think it needs a new mold. Especially since they decided not to and just repainted it for the cartoon direction
Owning MP18B I can definitely say yeah Hastak got some of the transformation concepts from this mold and I’m happy we get something familiar in that scale. Being that this is my very first and only Masterpiece figure plus add the fact the alt mode reminds of the car from Wangan Midnight really made me love the Blue Bluestreak which is why I much prefer Silverstreak.
Showing my age here, but I was 8 when The Transformers hit the airwaves. I have the most nostalgia for Prowl as he was the first G1 figure I got as a kid for Christmas that year. The MP mold is such a great update to the character and was a figure I had to have. I have Bluestreak and Smokescreen with him on my shelf cause the mold is just that good.
Maybe a year or two ago my dad and I got this version from OfferUp, sealed in box. A while later I cut the tape on box just to *LOOK* at Prowl, but didn't take out of the plastic tray. Until around last week my dad finally allowed me to open him up for real, and I agree with everything said in this video.
"I kinda want a new soundwave cus the old one is so hard to get" just get a knockoff??? Its what i did????? And then immediately get a really tiny doorknob thingy for dollhouses, one of those tiny rubber bands that they sell for bracelet making, some blu-tack, and immediately strap the corner of the tape deck to the thingy button because the only knockoff specific issue is the latch being fragile as gosh diggity darn.
Great video and review! Personally I say that every figure can be improved Also... Hasbro: repaints a figure Also Hasbro: "NEW FIGURE NEW FIGURE WE FINNA CHARGE EXTRA BECAUSE NEW FIGURE NEW FIGURE"
my first masterpiece was Prowl, around 6 years that he is with me and i am not dissapointed, joints still work as new, no paint problems, my fav' autobot and my fav' toy
I was out of collecting when these were released. I'd love to see reissues. I have MP-32 Primal on pre-order through Pulse and would like a chance to get some of the others for retail. Lunar Toy Store has Smokescreen (and Bluestreak, but I'm not a big fan of him) and I've been tempted to get that as well as the G2 Sideswipe.
It’s an awesome mold that needs no change, my only issue with my MP-18 is that one of the mirrors broke for been clear plastic and I rarely transform it
Hey, just a suggestion if you ever feel like getting a second version, i increidbaly reccomend smokescreen(og version) it has good new parts and the colours stick out in your collection
Got MP-17+, 18+, 18S, and 18B. The guns all have trouble staying locked in, but they won't outright flop out. The base figure is such a wonder that they really don't have to do much else visually.
The Hasbro release of MP Prowl was my first ever Masterpiece that I got less than a year ago. Later, I switched to the Takara version and bought his bros Bluestreak and Smokescreen as a group. Got Silverstreak, Diaclone Bluestreak and the plus cartoon versions of the trio. For a while, I had all 8 versions, which was awesome! Later on though, I sold original MP-19 Smokescreen because he was my least favorite of the bunch and had loose tolerances. Still one my favorite Masterpiece molds that is nearly perfect, but would love to see a third-party interpretation.
I have a couple MP styled third party figures, but the only official MP figure I have is Wheeljack and it just makes me so happy. One of my favorite cars, one of my favorite characters, and it does a good job with both modes. I even bought the collector pin with its special sleeve.
I bought the Wei Jiang knockoff from Amazon last year which was a birthday present from my sister but it finally came a week after my graduation and it was a day after I got Studio Series 86 Hot Rod
My one issue owning the Bluestreak version is that I wish the chest could tab together out of the box without having to shave the tab down, and that the back could actually reach the slots it's supposed to go into without pulling the chest out of the previously mentioned tab in the process. Aside from those nitpicks, easily an 8/10 mold that holds up.
I love MP Prowl. I have 6 of them and 1 MP Blue Bluestreak. I give him an 8.5 /10 . The only thing keeping this mold from being perfect is that the chest could be shorter or less wide. They could remedy that like Maketoys approached Jazz. The legs look good except from the back. They could resolve that with some panel forming. And last face sculpts. I like having a toon and original face sculpt to alternate from. Like MP Sunstreaker with face sculpt Cordon came with. Other than that Prowl is in my top 3 with MP 44 and MP 36👍🏾
Prowl is my favorite bot and this is my favorite MP. My only issue is that it is really hard to get him to roll properly. I play with all my MPs with my kids so I also like that he doesn’t take 15 minutes to transform.
Although I only have two right now I still think the first masterpiece transformer I got is amazing;it’s the MPM Barricade,and I got for my birthday because my dad somehow got it for a steal at $40 USD for a band new one,and the only problem was that the box was very slightly damaged with nothing wrong with the figure. Then the second one I got the the masterpiece 2.0 Skywarp for just $70.
@@GrummanF-14BTomcat An eBay auction I could only find by searching ‘Transformers Skywarp’ because it wouldn’t show up if you looked up masterpiece Skywarp;this way of searching may be tedious,but it gets results. Also I’m not referring to the new one Takara’s for some reason calling the 2.0 version even though it’s the third one
I think the main factor behind recent MP (Western) prices dropping so low is the yen's current state. Their yen SRPs are still pretty high up, but because the conversion rate is so ridiculously biased in favor of Western currencies it makes them look a good chunk cheaper. So I certainly wouldn't expect this to become a normal thing. Just something to keep in mind.
This is probably my most wanted Autobot masterpiece figures. Aside from MP-10 (love that figure) Sideswipe, Wheeljack, Smokescreen, Hound, Blaster....that's about it
I love the Masterpiece Datsun Brothers. I just wish there was a way you can fold in the wheels in the feet to hide them. Other than that, the figures are pretty much timeless. It’s an older mold yet still looks good with the more recent masterpieces.
Im 47 now and my first G1 toy when I was a kid was prowl and my cousin broke the windshield off same day I got it ,I will never forget . Im glad I own MP 17 Prowl👍
I like the Cartoon style more personally. And I really don’t see why they were so much more expensive, like excessively so, it’s such a shame characters like Hound were like £150 or something crazy in that range when they release Skids soon after for the correct price range of these figures.
I actually have both the MP Prowl and MP Bluestreak. They're both like hand candy and you can't just look at them without having the urge to transform them.
Agree, the Datsun bros don't need 2.0. There are little engineering things they could improve by modern standards but they'd likely ruin it with hyper toon proportions and deco. This was the golden age, when the concept brought the toys into the real world rather than the cel drawings.
so I got my mp06 (TRU BlueStreak) for about 80 US on ebay it two weeks to get to my house after a week I thought "Scam?"... 80 US is great for a sealed Toys R Us Masterpiece Bluestreak from 2015
I don't know what part of the world you live in but if you're needing your furnace recently I am jealous. Weather in the southeast is brutal the last couple weeks.
Just happened to stumble onto this review by pure dumb luck. I was actually looking for videos on how to clean the diecast feet on my fans toy scoria cuz there's some oxidation going on, but nice a little vid. I'm an old dog, and prowl has a very special place in my heart because he was the first transformer that I ever owned as a kid when the G1 line first came out back in either 83 or 84. Basically I got three figures at the same time. Proud, jazz, and bumblebee. Still have them too! Even if they broke, I kept them and rebuilt them because they were something special to me. I still think that the Nissan mold next to Wheeljack have been the best molds that they have come out with car Wise for the MP line thus far up to 2023. I'm not a big fan of the cartoon accurate stuff because I don't think it looks as good. I actually think the cartoon was what screwed the G1 line in the end. Due to bad writing and being greedy, but still think this is one of the best figures they've made. Besides this one the only one that I think that might top it is the blue diaclone Bluestreak that they did. That's a nice looking figure too!
As an unemployed 15 year old with somewhat limited space, should i keep getting collecting the cheaper figures, or should i start collecting the masterpiece? Ive wanted to for a long time and now that they are decreasing in price, it seems like a good time to start.
Maybe they dont need a 2.0 but reissues. Like my sideswipe has really bad tire issues in the front and the celish shaded wheeljack is really hard to find
Honestly, if feel like the more time goes on, the closer our Hasbro mass produced and cheap figures will become closer and closer to the masterpiece figures. I mean, just look at Kingdom Cyclonus, he's quite literally a mini masterpiece and better than some of the actual masterpieces figures.
I got the MP Bluestreak not too long ago and yeah this is just peak car robot. The cartoon accurate redecos feel oddly wrong to me given how realistic the alt modes are (and Bluestreak in matte black is just gross)
I really want new Datsuns. By 3p or takara. Mp-17-19 dont fit in with newer MPs now and has issues with hollowness as well. Overall just is dated at this point. Atleast alt mode is fantastic
He definetly needs 2.0, if not from HasTak, then from 3P. His posability is terrible next to even a CHUG standats, he has hollow legs and the only good poses that you can give hime are "standing straight" and "standign straight with the gun up". Not gonna lie, he has looks. He LOOKS good. But that's everything that he is good in. Btw there are some insanely stupid things going on with him. Side windows hangs from his feet, joints that holds doors and panels with side view mirrors are cast in clear plastic.
The datsun mp's and imo sideswipe don't need a redo in mp and ik they're gonna stop making mp's after ginrai so clearly takara agrees, sideswipe and the datsuns are easily the best from the old mp's imo

I remember my first and sadly only TFCon. You mention someone had a car that looked like Prowl, I saw a guy in a costume that *WAS* Prowl
I got extra stickers for my MP Prowl, to make him look a little like the Toy deco, and more interesting. Love this figure.

Some masterpieces don't need 2.0's, they just need re-releasing.

This mould is phenomenal and it always has been! The one Mp figure that’s like a holy grail for me is G2 Sideswipe, he looks so damn good!
Dude this is so weird, I *JUST* pulled out my Siege Prowl from the Bin and this video was recommended to me 🤯
Im with your mom on this one. I love the car Kibble. I want my bot to look like he changes into a car or plane. Great video.
