Random Thoughts - Return of the Masterpiece

Masterpiece - This year has been a great year for Masterpiece series. Since the airing of Transformers Prime and the release of the toylines; I really miss the G1-esque and comic style characters (yes, the characters that has a nose). Transformers Prime may have a lot of loyal followers but for me, it is just don't feel right. Since third party companies are racing and eager to bring up their not-G1 characters (and a hefty price tag); fortunately Takara Tomy has heard the fan cries. Yes, the masterpiece is back and at a steady flow compared to the last decade. And since my cousins is collecting Seekers only Masterpiece; I decided that I will go all out for Autobots instead (I do miss out on a few masterpiece such as Rodimus, Red Alert and Tigertrack). There were also times that I wished I had the Hasbro Soundwave. First it was Sideswipe and the rest just followed quietly. Will I review all of those masterpiece? That will be answered in due time. But since there is a lot of You...

Recent Acquisition - Hasbro Optimus Prime MP-01

Masterpiece - I never thought that I would buy one of these. I bought this for a very good bargain from one of my former colleague at TAIB. He has been keeping it for almost 4 years. Like most of his collection, all his figures are in mint condition. It is in excellent condition and I really love it very much. There is also a Takara version of this. That version has cleaner looked and without the battle damage. What I love about this MP-01 version is that is so much taller in height that it over shadowed ROTF Optimus Prime leader class. Well, for generation who watch Transformers as a kid, the MP-01 is a dream come true. I cannot afford to buy a Transformers toy unless it is my birthday during those time. And to have my dream toy came true, it took me 25 years to even own one. I guess this is what you call as dream come true. Thank you for reading.
