Unique Toys weibo account has been updated with our first images of their Masterpiece Scale ROTF Skids & Mudflap gray prototypes.
These are new molds of the ROTF twins for the Masterpiece scale. We only have images of alt mode of each figure which look pretty detailed and realistic with opening doors and interiors.
There’s still no concrete information on price or exact release date, but stay tuned with this space for more updates. See the new images after the jump and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

I am not bothered by UT's Mudflap tbh, it's a perfectly fine MPM and it was advertised as such

That’d be great but it ain’t gonna happen.

And why would they do that? For those who only wanted Mudflap, they were warned beforehand the quality and engineering wasn't 100% there, but the price is still kind of justified. Come on, guys, 65$ for a figure?
Skids is cheaper bc they partially reused Mudflap's moulds. Hopefully, we're still getting a 2-pack with updated price.

Thats friendo.

tamiya gunmetal. It’s an amazing paint in that it almost never shows brush strokes.

I think UT should just accept a loss and reduce Mudflaps price or refund the difference to us

Wow. I haven’t felt such regret over buying a figure as with their shitty mudflap. He’s a much worse character design (in both modes), a much worse figure (from what I can tell), AND he’s more expensive? FML.

My copy is mostly stable. Everything except the bonnet in robot mode stays tabbed in.

Is it stable, overall? Reviewes complained about stuff in the upper body not having tabs, is that a problem? I think I might get Skids and see how I like the "UT-lite" design, anyway, at 50 I'll probably risk it.
Purple Heart
What paint is that? Was planning on doing the same thing.
MattST
Ngl I think I might make my own mod for mudflap. Just tab in shoulder pieces and probably for both of them a gun like they actually had in the movie. Shouldn’t be too hard tbh

So he is meaner, greener and the pricing is leaner. Superior twin confirmed!

British mafematics, dont quite understand it!
MattST
Oh damn I just realised this is basically £38, I’m happy to pay this. I guess if Midflap was £50, it evens out to £45 each, so…I’m ok with £90 for 2 UT figures
MattST
Probably means I’ll get that notification imminently wanting money lol
Zoo
1000x better than the $65 they wanted for mudflap. Ill buy a bundle for $100 lol

ShowZ revealed the full price for Skids: 49,99$!
Zoo
looks a lot better. If the door wings were better adjustable it woukd be close enough to perfect for me. Super tempted to grab him now

It’s definitely still not perfect, but if it was painted like this to begin with (assuming all of the brown was grey) it would’ve saved the figure for me. As is the orange hurts the look of the figure way too much.

thank you!
