Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-19+ Smokescreen Anime Colors New Official Images And Release Date

under Generation 1, Transformers Masterpiece

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.

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.

No, 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.

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.

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

So is this guy still on sale anywhere? Or getting a reissue?

Update:
Finally got my MP-19+ after what seems like a year long wait. Surethingtoys.com just got their shipment in and they’re in stock at $75, shipping included.

This Smokescreen is as gorgeous as everyone says. Rich thick paint and that beautiful new head: what a difference! His new head is slightly smaller than the old head, which gives him a heroic appearance. Sadly for me, I got stung by the QC demon and ended up with a tiny air bubble on the paint of the smiley face, right below the eye. It’s the face I was going to display, so I’ll need to smooth it off and repaint it. Aside from that, the smoke effect really makes the figure. It’s my favorite effects part to date, with it’s matte finish. He looks like he just ran pass a cloud of dust. He’s handsome and full of personality. I’m comparing my MP19+ to the original and everything works and looks better. The shoulder blasters are smaller and better proportioned than the bigger ones and they fully integrate into the transformation. Of all the + repaints, this was the one I was wishing for. Go treat yourself.

Cant wait for mine to come in thanks to your heads up!!

Just out of curiosity, is this the hasbro or takara release?

The one with the black box that says MP-19+ in giant letters with a Takara Tomy box inside, and it came with a pin. To get it without the black box, you’d have to order directly from the Takara Tomy mall.

Wow, so they finally came through! I ended up cancelling my order with them and was going to buy one from TF Source but ended up needing the money. Maybe I'll buy from Surething with my next paycheck now that he's actually in stock there.

Sorry to hear about your paint issue, I hope it's easily fixed!

Yeah, a little touch up and good as new. Already done. It’s hard to enjoy this hobby if we don’t learn to do a little paint touch up or minor repair here or there. S’all good.

Well, I've just cancelled my SureThingToys order and the refund is processing. As soon as I have the refund I'll be ordering from a retailer who has Smokescreen in stock.

I'm disappointed that I had to cancel but in my latest email exchange with them they said they had one MP-19+ left with dinged corners on the box. They said I could have it if that didn't matter, then when I accepted they said it had already been claimed by someone else. Then they said there's going to be another production run on these and they expect to have more in January 2021.

I'll still give them the benefit of the doubt that they got screwed on this due to the pandemic, etc. but it really does seem strange that everyone else was able to fulfill preorders without this huge and apparently continuous delay. I wonder, did anyone here receive an MP-19+ from SureThingToys?
