With the recent news that MP-17 would be Prowl and MP-18 would be Smokescreen, it seemed inevitable that the third of the Autobot Datsun Fairlady Z trio would get the Masterpiece treatment sooner or later, and the answer is: sooner! September 2013 will see the third Masterpiece release in as many months with MP-19 Bluestreak getting released that month. Like Prowl and Smokescreen, he’s retailing for in the region of $79.99.
The only question that remains of course is which variant of Bluestreak shall it be, a toy accurate Silverstreak, an animation colors black roofed Bluestreak, or the more-likely-to-be-an-EHobby-release blue Bluestreak? Time and Japanese hobby magazine scans will tell.
In the mean time, please check out the preorder links for MP-19:

Im all for the normal one, but it never hurts to have an exckusive

I have all 3. Unless you have a big attachment to the original toy colors or the red shoulder cannons, I'd go with the standard. You can't go wrong with either, but I prefer the cartoon deco.

Standard is so beautiful it hurts.
Blue was always sort of a grail for me and of course I got him (and I love him). It pains me to admit this, but the standard is better looking.

i have blue and standard still need to get the silver one
BWfan86
I personally think the standard color scheme looks the best. It looks sweet

I really like both standard and silver, but if you have to choose just one I'd say standard, unless you grew up loving the silver G1 version. Silver is nice to have and shouldn't be missed, but if you don't need that many copies of the mold then stick to the original deco.

I have mp18b but wasn’t sure about getting silverstreak Tokyo show exclusive or standard Mp18.
Scowly Prowl
Standard shade is the best balance IMHO. If you get the Blue version of Streak, IIRC he comes with a repainted Prowl head instead of the Streak head on the regular TT/Hasbro release, or the Silverstreak TT release. The Silver version is a whole ton of silver.

Hi guys. Need advice. Which version should I get if streak? The Tokyo show exclusive or the standard one? Standard seems to have the cooler shades of gray. I’ll be buying him tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

it's funny 28 pages of discussion and all based on news without any pics, same goes for the other 2 Masterpieces that are announced…
Hopefully Takara does come with a pic asap
Sy-Rein
No worries.
And yes!
HnH
Still in need of PICS!!!!!
Robogeek28
I'm perfectly fine with this.
TigerBlade
It is, my bad. I read it slightly wrong
ex dtw2003
Simple misunderstanding, but yeah, I got your intended meaning.
Sy-Rein
Isn't that what I said?

I think they could get away with even more… Toon Bluestreak as MP-19, then blue version as MP-19B, and plain silver (or chrome) as 'toy accurate' eHobby version.
I'm thinking a lot of people will want the blue version over the toon one, enough to perhaps warrant it being part of the line rather than an exclusive.
TigerBlade
I highly doubt it…..history dictates the numbered release will be cartoon deco…..a blue Bluestreak will probably end up being a eHobby exclusive (or similar) as MP19B…..or similar.
