Takara Tomy Mall has put up a listing for MP-18+ Streak, aka Bluestreak. This is a cartoon inspired deco of the original release featuring a more matte paint job, new faces, and effect parts that can plug into his gun or shoulder canons coming directly from the show. He’s a limited release through the direct Takara sales website but many of our sponsors should get copies of it below, keep an eye out for pre-orders there. MP18+ Bluestreak is retailing for 9180 Yen (about $83 US) and is due to ship in Late July 2019. Read on to check out all the pretty pics!

There is always a chance, but nothing is guaranteed either. They definitely pay attention to supply and demand though as they have reissued tons of MP's over time.

Is there any chance they'll ever re-issue this? I passed it up on Pulse a number of months back for $79.99 and i've been kicking myself since. Now I can't find it anywhere near reasonable prices.

Gah, out of all my MPs that survived the flood, this one didn't with a broken door. This guy is so expensive now.

Sure! I’m not with my blue streak figure at the moment but I could look into it within a few days.

Ah yeah, that wasn't showing up on my phone, but I see what you mean now. That sucks…

Mr Color lacquers are great for color-matching transformers. I don't know if they make that shade specifically but I'd recommend getting some white(GX-1 Cool White is my preference but C-001 White is fine,) black, and a bit of leveling thinner and starting from there.
If you don't mind spending the extra money, I also recommend the Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta pigment additives just in case the light grey needs a slight color tweak to match. You just need a small dab of it most of the time so the bottles will last you forever. C-174 Fluorescent Pink and C-80 Cobalt Blue are also extremely handy to have around as a base color for purples.

Painting error. It didn't apply to the upper nose ridge.

Under the left eye and the bridge of the nose is missing the white face colour, which is what I was talking about.
Mentasm
Not sure it's missing any, looks like the darker grey has spread to the nose. The face is supposed to be that colour.

Maybe @BrutiKing knows? He's good with paint.

Anyone recommend good paint for the face, mine seems to be missing some, no idea how I didn't notice this sooner.View attachment 29309641

I can tell you this, the + versions of Streak and Smokescreen are awesome. The extra faces and muted colors really give the toys that cartoon personality.

Thanks.

Looks like they can only ship to the mainland US.

Looks like Hasbro Toy Shop on Ebay has a few MP-19+ for sale at the moment.

If you're still looking tftoys.ca has him in stock. I just ordered a copy – now all I need is a decent priced plus version of smokescreen…
