Takara Tomy Mall has updated their website to announce a new entry in the Masterpiece series. MP-39+ will be Spinout, a red version of Sunstreaker and an homage to the very first Diaclone toy! The Takara Tomy mall lists this as a new character “Assault Rescuer Spinout”. The headsculpt of this toy will be the same as used with the previously released MP-42 Cordon.
Shown in the images on the website are bot, vehicle and comparisons with Masterpiece Sideswipe for double red Lamborghini action!
Spinout is due for a November 2020 release. Check out more images and join the discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Congrats getting one! From my JP source, 2ndary sale MPs except the recent knucklehead Seekers are hard to find now. MP-01, Default Shockwave, Delta Magnus, UM, Ramjet and occasionally Starsaber are all that's being sold around.

Alright, now that's a good picture we can have some dialogue around. That's a fairly excessive, to me, paint defect. I would have returned that for an exchange right away. This is also not common, at all, on this figure. Nor is this kind of paint damage common right of the box of any MP
Did you try reaching out to your retailer?
The door gap is normal. You might get it in a little bit more, if you massage it around. That said, it is pretty minimal, imo.
As for the small gun, it has a specific direction it must go in. Have you verified you have the correct orientation? Secondly it's not meant to be rock solid connection, it's just a storage option. Thirdly, the panel has a pretty hard detent, and tends to snap into place with a little force. It's normally that snap that will cause the gun to pop off. Try closing that panel slowly and supporting it as you close it, and the gun should stay on.
It really does sound like you just got a bad copy. If you read through the thread, you'll find this figure has nearly universal praise. It was such a solid release in terms of QC, that it's surprising you seem to be having so many issues.
I'll gonna end it on this, and then I'm moving on:
Don't let this one experience completely sour you on MPs. I understand you only have this one experience, but read through, and see that yours is the exception, not the norm. Your particular copy may have, indeed, been a bad copy, but try not to assume that's how everyone's is, and label the whole figure as a failure.

Sorry, my penchant for smart-assery got the best of me. I can’t tell for sure from your pic, and it’s even harder to tell in hand, but it could be that your mirrors are left/right swapped. On all of my copies of this mold, the tapered side of the mirror points away from the car. Again, it’s hard to tell what side the taper is on because they are so small, but in your pic, the side that is oriented toward the door window in your pic is pointed away from the door window on all of mine. I can’t seem to move the mirrors separate from the doors on any of mine, but I haven’t transformed them in a while.

I’ll say this. A few of Sunstreaker MPs did have paint chipping from their face and and their yellow paint (albeit not a lot on those figures). As bad as your case is, I would still say order another to enjoy. The mold is lots of fun. It might be an isolated case, but I’m not taking away from your experience as well.

Scan it with the camera of your smart phone and the Google translate app and you can get the description you need from Japanese to English

Damn, dude, seriously? Why such an antagonistic attitude? I though I was answering some of your questions, but you seem to want to argue about it.
Have you ever stopped to consider that your previous posts were missed? This forum moves fast. I'm on here daily, and never saw them. But no, instead you've decided it's some personal attack. Ok…
Uh..same thing? Regardless of what you, specifically, want to call it, from all accounts SpinOut has had a stellar paint job. With little, to no reports of flaking, chipping, scratching, etc.

As what? No issues in my copy. No big as getting a lemon is part of the trade. I move on. O and I don't get( any monetary benefits from the hobby except for the dopamine rush) jack squat from Hb or Takara.
Too bad this soured your experience with the line.
