Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday have all come and gone here in the States, hopefully everyone had some good ones! The holidays pushed back some galleries we had in the pipeline so today will start some catch up. First up is the recently released MP-18+ Masterpiece Streak (Bluestreak). This is the Anime / Cartoon inspired repaint of the original Masterpiece Bluestreak toy. It features new heads, a more matte cartoon accurate color scheme and comes with additional laser effects. Overall it’s a really sharp execution of the character so it comes down to your Masterpiece preference – toon or toy inspired. Takara seems to be on a toon kick with recent releases so he will fit right in with MP-44, MP-45, MP-17+, MP-14+, MP-12+, MP-20+, and even Grapple, Inferno, Ratchet, Ironhide and Sunstreaker. Read on to check out some key shots or hit the gallery link here to view the full gallery!
He’s in stock now and shipping from TFSource!
Masterpiece Releases: MP Anime Bluestreak, MP-44 Optimus Prime v3, MPM-8 Megatron, MPM-9 Jazz, MP Anime Smokescreen, MP BW Black Arachnia, MP Hound, Masterpiece Pre-Orders.

We can continue the discussion about this figure in the toy forum.

I finally got him and during the worst sickness i've gone through in a very long time. This will definitely brighten my day. Thank you TCP for having it for a reasonable price… $109.99 but I got it down to $99.99 after $10 credit.
Afterburner
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.
Blingotron
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.
BrutiKing
Sure! I’m not with my blue streak figure at the moment but I could look into it within a few days.
Mentasm
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.
Craigmcgowan1984
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.
