Care of Autobase Aichi, we have some in-hand images of the lastest entry in the Masterpiece “Plus” series: Masterpiece MP-36+ Megatron (G1 Toy Color Version).
The Masterpiece “+” (Plus) series focused on cartoon accurate decos of previous Masterpiece figures. Since MP-36 Megatron was already cartoon-accurate, the MP-36 Plus version went into a different direction bringing us a G1 toy-accurate deco of the Decepticon Leader.
We have some shots where you can spot all the differences and extra deco (which includes chromed parts and a new head) of this new release, and of course a comparison picture next to the original MP-36 Megatron. As an extra bonus we have images of the box and the collectible coin. We can confirm now that the coin is exactly the same as the one that came with the original release.
Check out the images after the jump and then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

If anyone is interested, Hafiz Zul on Facebook made some custom parts for this guy and the 3rd party Shockwaves. He only takes orders from certain people (and I believe only in bulk), and I have a contact, so if anyone is interested, let me know. I'm in the US, but as long as you pay for shipping (and the item of course), I'll ship it to you. Let me know if anyone is interested. I'm not sure of pricing, but I'll find out.

He also makes lots of other stuff. Check out his Facebook page.
These are the other ones that caught my eye:
MP52/ DS01 Starscream corronation gear
Studio Cell (Unicron) sharp wing tips, dead eyes head
MP51 Arcee replacement chest
Badcube Steamroll/ Recon (Sideswipe/ Red Alert) crotch piece (transformable) and leg fillers
Starscream throne

Thanks, but the seller doesn't ship to my country.
And the cheapest I can find that does is well over 200 euro and then there's the import taxes… Don't think I want to pay that much money for a display only piece.

Although I would've loved to have MP29+ and think it's much better than the regular release (this is the one they should've released from the start), I regret not picking up MP-36+ a whole lot more.
There's just something special about the toy recreation of MP-36+ with the toy head, the chest detailing, all the other details and the chrome silver. (Especially annoying that Kapow once had him with a discount and I hesitated to long — turned out to be the last day of limited time.)

I agree, MP 36 is tops for me then MP29+. Followed by MP44 and MP52. All of these guys are so great!

You guys looking on ebay?

I've seen him go for £250-£300 second-hand in the last year or two. I dread to think what new would be.
I got very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very lucky a couple of months ago and got him for £95.
(That's 29 "very"s.)

Hey everybody,
I thought I would revisit this as I was curious about availability of mp29+ in particular. There is not even a listing on ebay to be found at all. I remember reluctantly buying this, even though I had bought mp29 a month earlier. So glad I did! Also happy I picked up mp 36+ when I did.

PUUUUURPLE!
