A few weeks ago we learned about a new Takara Tomy Raiden Project that would be finally revealed at the  the special exhibition: “A Railway Story In The Sky” in Japan.

Today, images from the event reveal a big poster with a Raiden silhouette and a text that translates: “Starting with Transformers Masterpiece! Raiden project has started”. It seems Takara has a new plan for Trainbot Combiner Raiden, a Japanese exclusive character and toy from 1987, now with an upcoming Masterpiece mold.

There’s still no extra details about this project, but the display at the event features the original G1 toys next to the new Masterpiece MP-44 Optimus Prime Ver. 3 and MP-45 Bumblebee Ver. 2 as well as a monitor showing clips of Raiden from the Japanese exclsuive “The Headmasters” cartoon.

Last week, our sponsors added listings that revealed a new Masterpiece Black Convoy was incoming. Snakas has revealed some additional information on the listing as well as provided a low-res possible first look. As most fans surmised, this continues to appear to be a repaint of the recently released MP-44. A full reveal and confirmation on this is expected next week. Additional information confirmed on this figures release is that it will not come with a trailer and it will set you back 28,000 yen.

Via Robotkingdom we have image of the new Beast Wars Masterpiece MP-46 Blackarachnia Packaging and Collectible Die-Cast Pin.

Fan-favorite femme fatale comes in a nice horizontal box featuring the Long Life Design logo of previous Masterpiece releases and showing her in both spider and robot mode (in a very dynamic pose). Additionally, we finally have a look at the new collectible die-cast pin included with Blackarachnia for the Asian market. And taking about pins, Robotkingdom have also shared an image of the new die-cast pin that is included with the Masterpiece Soundwave Reissue. (You can check his gallery here).

Thanks to site sponsor BigBadToyStore, we’ve got word of a new Masterpiece figure that is “coming soon”: MP-49 Black Convoy! Now, we can all smell what’s cooking in the kitchen, a redeco of the previously released MP-44 Optimus Prime, but what if this is something different, something even cooler such as a Car Robots Black Convoy (also known as Scourge from Robots In Disguise). Hey, we can dream right?

Until more news and images surface, which will likely be very soon, all we have is the attached placeholder image and our imaginations. Previous redecos of Optimus Prime are not uncommon in the slightest such as MP-01B and MP-10B. For now let’s discuss in the discussion thread link below and share how excited we are for a Masterpiece Scourge … or black redeco of Optimus Prime!

What’s crackin’ lil bitches? The Masterpiece Movie line continues to fill in the Movie 1 ranks with MPM-9 Jazz!  Keeping his look as the all silver Pontaic Solstice, Jazz comes ready for battle with his blaster, Sam running with the Cube, and an add-on robo spinal cord so you can recreate his tragic death at the hands of Megatron!  Yes, he does split in two, a feat of engineering since it essentially requires transformation elements to be in two separate halves.  He stays in scale being the smallest of the bunch both on screen and in MPM form.   All in all it’s a great piece, one of the MPM line’s sharpest in both modes IMO.  Read on to check some key pics or hit the full gallery here for 55+ shots!

He’s in stock now and shipping from TFSource!

Attention Beast Wars fans! We can share our first in-hand images of the new Beast Wars Masterpiece MP-46 Blackarachnia for your viewing pleasure.

Fan-favorite femme-fatale has been waiting for a real cartoon-accurate representation of her first form for many years. It seems it was worth the wait. We have a great looking spider mode which looks not only natural but with fully articulated legs and an impressive finishing. The robot mode is as if she were taken from the animation. We are glad to confirm that the robot mode has almost no backpack, and it features a great range or posability.

We also have a look at all the extra accessories: 2 interchangeable faces, visor & cable, anchor missile, base and the spider web pieces. A plethora of ways to display Blackrachnia in your collection. For those fans worried about scale, we also have comparison shots next to the rest of Beast Wars Masterpiece figures.

Check all the mirrored images on this news post, as well as a video review, after the jump. Ready to add Blackarachnia into your collection? Look for a pre-order via our sponsors links below

Laserbeak, prepare for flight.  Destination: Iacon.  MP-13 Masterpiece Soundwave, a classic figure at this point capturing the Decepticon Communications officer perfectly in this scale has been re-issued in 2019.  While the intent is nothing major was to be changed, there were actually some differences that wound up separating this release.  First off, the box has new Long Life branding, so you should be able to tell you’re getting the newer edition right off the bat.  Once you dig into the figure, we have some slightly darker blue plastic going on, which I actually think looks a bit better.  His red eyes, matching the toon look – painted on with a dark under coat, the previous was red translucent plastic.  There are also some very slight color changes in highlight paint throughout.  All the original accessories come with – Megatron gun, Energon cube, chest display, hand scanner, Laserbeak and cassette case, & battery gun.

I found handling a bit more difficult than the original release which I still have out on display.  The hip ratchets for forward/backward movement are VERY tight, to the point of concern while posing.  Other than that though, it’s roughly the same.   You can definitely tell the mold has been through the ringer, it’s not as smooth or clean as it once was, but if you never had a copy and dig this slightly different look, he is probably worth a pick up.

We’ve run the new version through a gallery, read on to check some key shots or hit the gallery below to see all 70+ HD pics including comparisons with the original!
