Autobots, Transform and Bust Ghosts! The MP-10G Masterpiece Optimus Prime Ecto-35 Edition is in the house and we have a rapid fire gallery for him today. Hasbro sent through an early copy of the Ghostbusters themed MP Optimus set to drop at SDCC next month and we ran him through a round of base shots to show off his new look. Key points include a new Ghostbusters themed red and white deco on the figure and trailer, proton pack accessory which attaches to the trailer and the figure’s back, new molding on the gun to take the wires from the proton pack, a green colored Matrix of Leadership, ghost trap topper for Roller, and a fully painted Slimer accessory.
The proton pack is very similar to the one that comes with Ectotron, but has slight molding changes to include the blue light bar. Slimer is the same mold as the Ectotron version, but has full multi-color paint rather than being translucent. The capper for Roller is a single piece and snaps into place over the existing roller mold. Aside from all this, it’s the MP-10 figure we all know and love in new colors. Which are sharp, the red/white/green/gray/black combo really looks good on Prime.
All in all, it’s an epic piece, and when coupled with Ectotron is a cool little display area that homages the 80s something fierce. Perfect for a convention exclusive. He’ll be up for sale at SDCC at the Hasbro booth, with copies going to Canada Fan Expo after that, and then online at Hasbro Pulse in limited quantities later in the summer.
Read on to check out our first round of pics, we’ll try and get some additional shots done over the course of the weekend!

I received a MP-10G (is that what he’s called??) as part of a swap today and the slimer figure had obviously spent quite a bit of time pegged onto the top of roller. When I separated them there’s been a reaction between the two that has caused the paint to lift off roller and slimer is now tacky to the touch. I’ve cleaned them up as best I can but thought I’d put a warning out there for anyone else storing them like that.
I’m going to try and find a flexible clear coat to paint slimer with to prevent it deteriorating any further.

Welcome! Glad to help.
The Optimus
Wow, thanks guys for the feedback! I rather pay extra for original.

When that thing was new, I tried buying twice from similar eBay listings, scams both times – nothing ever really shipped, the sellers pulled up stakes and disappeared. Gave up on Ecto Prime after that.

Could also be a scam. But I suspect it's a factory after hours special.

Had the same thoughts

Claiming to be "new"? No box? From China? My bet?: Either it's used (however lightly or only displayed), or it's a KO. Having an original, I can say that it looks good. That display base he's standing on didn't come with the character, though.
The Optimus
Anyone know if this original or KO?

Tfsource scalper price is how I see it… They'll probably be sitting on that inventory for a bit.
FireSkyJet
Agreed. But, for those that missed out and have to have it, at least it's an option (plus free shipping).
Fenrys
thats definitely a bit on the pricey side
FireSkyJet
Looks like TF Source has it up but a little pricey.

I'm in the US, and I'm seeing $170 base price plus $75 shipping… Not great when the original price for the figure was $150 shipped.

It's a great figure. Very nicely detailed and accessorized.

I purchased MP10G at full retail £180 from TFSEXPRESS UK when it was released in Sept/Oct 2019. These were then heavily discounted and widely available on sale after a few months from retailers such as InDemandToys for £140 and Kapow Toys £140. At one point even Forbidden Planet were selling it for £100.
Depends where your based. It still available via TFSEXPRESS using their EX service for USA $160.
or TFSEXPRESS OmegaLock U.K. £179.99
all the best!

I read the comic series and it is awesome. Two of the most beloved franchises of the 80s.
It is a shame MP-10G is so hard to find.
