While the recent reveal of the Masterpiece MP-19+ Masterpiece Smokescreen (Anime Colors) announced this figure as a Takara Tomy Mall exclusive, pre-orders have started popping up on our sponsors sites. Due to ship in late January 2020, Smokescreen is coming now in vibrant cartoon accurate colors and deco. This means most of the original logos and details have been taken out, but the final result will sure look as the Smokescreen we remember from the cartoon.

Autobase Aichi has uploaded some in-hand images of the highly expected Transformers Masterpiece Movie MPM-09 Jazz for your viewing pleasure.

Transformers Movie 2007 Jazz became a fan-favorite in spite of having just one participation in the live-action movies. Ironically, his death is one of the most well-remembered scenes from the Movieverse. The new Masterpiece Jazz mold raises as the best representation of Jazz over other previous molds. The images show both modes and the great poseability that this figure can offer. In perfect scale with previous Masterpiece Movie toys, Jazz also includes a running Sam figurine (carrying the Allspark) and one of the most creepy and movie-accurate gimmicks: You can split him to recreate the infamous “I want two!”scene with Megatron.

Check out all the images, as well as a video review, after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

We can confirm that 2 amazing cloud effects are included with this release, and they work perfect for dynamic photos. Masterpiece MP-19+ Smokescreen is listed for ￥9180 or $85.29 and expected for release on January 2020.

Autobots, Transform and Bust Ghosts!  The MP-10G Masterpiece Optimus Prime Ecto-35 Edition is in the house and we have a rapid fire gallery for him today.  Hasbro sent through an early copy of the Ghostbusters themed MP Optimus set to drop at SDCC next month and we ran him through a round of base shots to show off his new look.  Key points include a new Ghostbusters themed red and white deco on the figure and trailer, proton pack accessory which attaches to the trailer and the figure’s back, new molding on the gun to take the wires from the proton pack, a green colored Matrix of Leadership, ghost trap topper for Roller, and a fully painted Slimer accessory.

The proton pack is very similar to the one that comes with Ectotron, but has slight molding changes to include the blue light bar.  Slimer is the same mold as the Ectotron version, but has full multi-color paint rather than being translucent.  The capper for Roller is a single piece and snaps into place over the existing roller mold.  Aside from all this, it’s the MP-10 figure we all know and love in new colors.  Which are sharp, the red/white/green/gray/black combo really looks good on Prime.

All in all, it’s an epic piece, and when coupled with Ectotron is a cool little display area that homages the 80s something fierce.  Perfect for a convention exclusive.  He’ll be up for sale at SDCC at the Hasbro booth, with copies going to Canada Fan Expo after that, and then online at Hasbro Pulse in limited quantities later in the summer.

Read on to check out our first round of pics, we’ll try and get some additional shots done over the course of the weekend!

The recently revealed Masterpiece MP-48 Lio Convoy at Tokyo Toy Show has not shown any extra accessories so far. A small scan from the last Figure King Magazine shows a clear shot at a Beast Wars II Artemis Figurine that may be included as part of Lio Convoy extra accessories.

For those unfamiliar with this character, she was a regular character from the Japanese Beast Wars II series, which is where Lio Convoy was one of the main protagonists. She’s a robotic teen girl who was like a sentinel of Planet Gaia, watching over the planet from the moon. The figurine looks very cartoon-accurate and fairly articulated.

Stay tuned with TFW2005 for further details and updates. Figure King Magazine images should surface soon and we may see more about MP Lio Convoy and the extra parts or accessories included (Artemis’ transforming rabbit Moon maybe?).

Takara Tomy have uploaded via their YouTube Channel an official Masterpiece MP-47 Hound Promotional video.

The video features a Takara Tomy designer showing off the new Masterpiece incarnation of Hound. Other parts of the video are in stop-motion revealing the very clever transformation and the way Hound hides the alt mode wheels inside his legs. To top it all, we have a clear look at the accessories like the extra roof, Spike figurine and hologram and more.

While the video is region locked, we have a mirror thanks to TFND On Facebook for your viewing pleasure.

Check the video below and then check out an extensive gallery of screencaps from it after the jump. Don’t forget that Masterpiece Hound is already up for pre-order in our sponsors below.

Takara-Tomy have showcased the next entry into the Transformers Masterpiece series at the Tokyo Toy Show. Quelling earlier rumors of an announcement of a version 3 Starscream, the next Masterpiece after Blackarachnia and Hound will be Lio Convoy!

Lio Convoy was the Cybertron / Maximal leader in the cel-animated 1998 spinoff series, Beast Wars Second. In this series, he led a small crew of Maximals on the planet Gaia as they fought to keep the dangerous Angolmois energy out of the hands of Galvatron and his Destron soldiers. He is the second of three Beast Wars era Maximal commanders, alongside Optimus Primal and the mammoth Big Convoy, who received an animation-accurate reissue of his original toy in the Transformers Encore line earlier this year.

Lio Convoy will be the 48th entry into the Masterpiece series. He sports an animated accurate robot mode that is scaled to stand roughly the same height as the Beast Wars Masterpiece Optimus Primal figure. His lion mode similarly channels the animation’s Kimba the White Lion inspired design, with similar sacrifices to the original toy. Reports suggest that Lio Convoy will arrive in the hands of fans in January / February 2020.

We’ve got official images of Lio Convoy via Dengeki Hobby, as well as images from the display via @Chohenkan, @hayatoron, @Masabon2011 and @Portarmy on Twitter!

And more images are surfacing from Tokyo Toy Show. This time, thanks to @gadepon on Twitter,  we can share for you the next entry in the Masterpiece + (plus) sub-line: Smokescreen is coming in vibrant cartoon accurate colors and deco (taking out most of the original logos), and it will include a new extra cartoon-accurate face (that you may love or not).

Update: Extra images, via Hobby Dengeki and @Alfes2010, let us see a possible new smoke effect accessory included with this release.

According to the information shown on the display, it will be a Takara Tomy Mall exclusive item. His release will be this winter, and pre-order will go up this summer for 8,500 yen or $78.53 approximately.
