Via Amazon Japan and Takara Tomy Mall, we have official images of the new Transformers Masterpiece Movie MPM-11D Dark Of The Moon Ratchet for your viewing pleasure.
This figure is a Dark of The Moon-inspired green and white redeco of Masterpiece MPM-11 Ratchet. It’s available for pre-order for 24200 Yen ($163.93 approximately) and scheduled for release by March 2024.

This release is amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone on the fence. It looks so much better than the first release. It honestly makes the first release look like a mainline figure.
It’s not just the paint. The base grey plastic used for the interior structure is a much better colour and the windows are tinted so you don’t see as many bot mode parts in alt mode.

The paint on this 11D is great, and very textured. But recalling that the ambulance died in the movie, still feels painful.

Got mine in a few days ago and he is great! Colors and overall paint are so nice.

Thank you Takara for painting his face finally.

Seen so little posted on him even though he released, is a majority of his green plastic or paint?

Got mine today, absolutely stunning and blows the original MPM Ratchet out of the water completely. I’d love to see Takara keep going with these MPM redecos. 2007/RotF Ratchet deserves a deco that’s as nice as this one’s.

Can’t wait to see more of em! I would have gone for the KO but I just really dislike that it’s fully painted meaning it’ll chip easily during transformation. Hope a lot of that green is just vibrant plastic.

My scenario was hypothetical..

You still need Hasbro to fund the mold in the first place

The takara repaints aren't

Last few MPM’s have been painted just fine. Even then I’m fine with a slightly lesser paint job if it means car bots don’t cost the same as the massive deceptions.
Ratchet2007
These are funded by Hasbro mostly I think so probably not
Throway
Can we just stop the US releases of all MPMs so they can all get actually nice paint jobs and not SS lite?
Jetstorm
Thought I should update you all two months later… I ended up getting Revenge of the Fallen Starscream and Ratchet’s on preorder I’m weak for these MPMs lol and I’ve never actually had a DotM Ratchet before

He looks so good

Screenshotted from a YouTube video at Cybertron Fest.
I spotted him in the background from those photos we saw of the Dramatic Capture 3-pack. I don't think anyone went out of their way to photograph Ratch here specifically though.
