A small image have surfaced via Baidu which seem to reveal a new Transformers Masterpiece Hoist mold.
The image gives a glimpse of Hoist both mode which seems to be a retool of the previous Masterpiece Trailbreaker. We can also post his accessories which include an alien mask from the classic G1 episode: “Hoist Goes To Hollywood”.
As usual, take this with a grain of salt until we find an official source. See the image after the break and then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

All I know is when I finally break into the HipHop DJ scene, my stage name is gonna be "MP Moist".
And the redeco'd TOY-ota!

Personally ,I'm going to try to wait till after the show on the off chance they show a proto of MP-59 or they announce some reissues. You can only bundle of AMJ if you order at the same time. With December being open we might actually get some reissues this time.

HLJ, Ami Ami, etc. are pretty quick to post preorders. However, Amazon Japan can wait up to a week. This causes some panic here, but they eventually put them up. Also, their initial price is often high (another cause of panic), but drops to 20-30% off of SRP, and they guarantee lowest list price even if you PO when it is higher.

Thank you very much. In that case i'll be watching HLJ from 17:00 this afternoon, because they're 7 hours ahead of me.

They’ve been going up at midnight in recent years.

I can\'t wait to get this in hand. It looks really good.

Do we know what the local time in Japan will be when the preorders go up?

It's also why he's a tow truck. He dangles the hook down there to keep his trousers up. An early unused draft of Budiansky's bio for Hoist included the ability: 'can hoist his trousers up with a force of 800 tonnes'.

I will not permit any Hoist slander here, good sir.

Hoist is I believe the only transformer without an arse/ass/fanny/backside. This is why he is called hoist, as without this protrudence he is left continually pulling up his trousers.

Yeah, I don't think any of us were interested in seeing Hoist's crotch.

Wasn't TB like 154 at Domestic shops? The dollar has been holding pretty strong for a while now if he's not the same MSRP, he's only 4 or 500 yen more
Ravewind
I hope it goes down too but I expect the price to be high anyway at BBTS, TCP, TFSource, etc. And that's before taxes and shipping.

I'm sure this was mentioned already …but the one detail they managed to capture, which is essential to Hoist's overall design, is that they managed to hide the crotch part of his lower body.
His design essentially has his two legs just protruding right from the large cab upper body part; like two sticks holding up a ball. Ya know?
They did this on him, and I don't see that in any of the 3rd party Hoists.
Well done TT.

There's more. It's not supposed to be long-legged like Trailbreaker. The height of the legs is supposed to be about the same distance from the top of his head to the bottom of the chest.

Compared to DA-95, the price went up by 4400 Yen no? Prices are going up in Yen. As I said, inflation which used to not exist in Japan has been pretty steady at around 4.x%. I think for this it's fair to expect a 1000 to 1500 Yen increase, if that does not happen it's fine, but a price increase is more likely to happen.

Hoist isnt even the one I'm worried about, its Cloud Across
