Via Weibo user 爆料人小明 we have our first in-hand images of Masterpiece MPM-05 Barricade for your viewing pleasure.
It seems the Masterpiece version of popular Decepticon bad cop is out in Taiwan and some lucky fans could grab it. The images let us see the great work on the body proportions of this Masterpiece and some good poses. There is also a picture in alt mode which looks well integrated and solid. It should be a matter of time for Barricade to be available in other countries and online retailers.
Don’t wait more and check out the mirrored images after the jump and then join to the discussion at the 2005 Boards!

It is worth it and holds up as a standalone figure. It’s awesome

With a rumoured upcoming rerelease in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line to pair up with the MPM 77 Bumblebee also rumoured for this year, I’m sure you’ll be able to find one for a good price with little hassle. It’s a great figure, so I’d definitely give it a shot.

I really enjoy it. As far as movie barricades go, its undisputibly number one. If you can get it for a good price all these years later, and happen to be a fan of the design, I say its worth it.

After being out for a few years, wondering how people think this figure holds up as a standalone toy. Worth a purchase?

Barricade is 17 cm from the top of his crest. Measuring my Bumblebee, he's exactly the same height, even with his legs straightened out. Bumblebee's legs are much longer so it give an illusion that Bee is taller. Barricade is definitely taller if you include his shoulder pieces.

-_- what i meant is that i had to clear the browser's cache becasue i wasnt receiving notification on some threads i was subscribed to
anyway
the reason im asking is because i know bumblebee mpm on every photo he appears to be slightly taller even is one includes the "spikes" on barricade's head and i dont remember where i read that bumblebee was 18cms tall, so im guessing barricade should be in between 16 to 17.5 but i want a precise meassure XD
"going to leave this pinned to the browser in case i dont receive a notification of a response"

It's been mentioned that the actual figures of Takara Barricade and Hasbro Barricade are identical but I have spotted 2 very minor differences.
1: The windows on the TT are slightly smokey/tinted whereas the Hasbro is totally clear.
2: The screws on the TT are black as opposed to silver screws on the Hasbro.

The first one is definitely official.

Maybe your first one was a KO? Is police painted on the same part in the back of the car on both?
The ko had different tolerances shoulders being the worst as they sag.
Hexatron
I honestly thought they might have changed something but it's just appears that tolerances can vary.
Megatron118
Eh it’s alright, if it’s identical no need. I thought they physically remolded parts

Mine do too.
Got mine when it first came out.
