Takara Tomy Mall Website has updated their listing of the Masterpiece MP-19+ Smokescreen Anime Colors with a nice gallery of official images.
First seen at Tokyo Toy Show 2019, the next entry in the Masterpiece + (plus) sub-line: Smokescreen is coming in vibrant cartoon accurate colors and deco. This means most of the original logos and details have been taken out, but the final result will sure look as the Smokescreen we remember from the cartoon.
The new images give us a better look at the car mode and the new extra faces with great cartoon expressions. We can confirm that 2 amazing cloud effects are included with this release, and they work perfect for dynamic photos. Masterpiece MP-19+ Smokescreen is listed for ￥9180 or $85.29 and expected for release on January 2020.

Thanks! Got mine all cleaned up. I am absolutely LOVING this deco.

Yeah, that was covered about 4 pages back. I had wondered the same thing. To summarize, the ones from HasbroAsia have the stamp printed on the right inner leg. Simply use 90% alcohol and a cotton swab and it’ll come off.

Mine has the same…honestly, I never really noticed it or if I did, I simply forgot about it.

i got mine from pulse too, that's just the Hasbro stamping
Dudicus
Sorry, I misspoke. It’s on his RIGHT leg. Mine has the etched code on the left leg as well as this white printed code on the right leg.

Here's mine. I've had mine for forever.

It's there, but the picture somehow it doesn't show up.

Hey man, this sounds new. I don't recall seeing it on my copy but I'll check it out later today then circle back with you

Resurrecting this thread because I just got this guy from Hasbro Pulse, and he has one of those product codes printed on the inside of his right leg. I haven't seen this code on any other copies of this toy I've seen in pictures online. It looks like the surface it's on isn't painted, so I should be safe to remove it. Did anyone else get a code on the leg? Anyone have any experience getting rid of it? Because it sure is an eyesore.

So glad you finally got yours. Got mine from Surethingtoys a few months back. Smokescreen+ is gorgeous. I recommend dipping his droopy cannons in hot boiling water , IMO it’s gentler on plastic than a hair dryer’s air. If that doesn’t work, try Viagra.

I finally got an MP-19+, he arrived yesterday.
For the record, I had originally pre-ordered him from surethingtoys.com but ended up cancelling after they had several delays. I decided to give them another chance since they have Smokescreen+ in stock now and I’m happy to say I had no problems with the order. It was processed and shipped normally and arrived packaged well. I just wanted to put this info out there for anyone reading this who experienced problems with their 19+ pre-order through Sure Thing Toys and ended up doubting their validity.
Now, on to Smokescreen himself. While I’m still partial to the original version, I love the colors on this one and the faces are great. The smoke effect is very nice in-hand as well.

G1 Smokescreen was my first carbot as a kid, so I’ll be keeping the original MP-19 in my collection and I’m glad to have Smokescreen joining my MP Cartoon bots.
My copy does have a few problems though. Some paint flaking off in a few places upon transformation, some minor blemishes on a couple of the faces, and… well, his shoulder cannons are… drooping…

I see from other posts in this thread that others have had these issues. I’ll try to fix the shoulder cannons with a hair dryer, but if that doesn’t work I might see if I can get an exchange.
In any case, this is another MP+ figure I’m glad to have in my collection.

He’s really good, still a reasonable price, nice paint and no qc issues, one of the best recent Takara releases.
