Masterpicece Megatron in its neon orange glory
Apparently there is a Masterpiece Megatron coming out (i.e. a frightfully expensive, but wonderfully engineered toy meant for adult fans)
Apparently to get the thing into the US it has to have an orange cap or paint to get past customs laws. Aargh.
MP-05 at Big Bad Toystore
(One online dealer is apparently selling the thing unaltered - or trying to).
Personally, I'd rather just have a faithful-in-robot-mode Megs who turns into a tank and can be sold in the US*. Unlike Optimus Prime, until Classics Hasbro/Takara hasn't even tried to give us a Megatron toy who looks like the original.
* - The 1984 toy couldn't be reissued in the US due to the shape of the thing - this toy will probably suffer the same fate even if the gun is too ludicrously huge to be taken seriously.
Let's just hope he's not blue like the MP Starscream (brilliant, guys - "A toy that only nutso fans will buy? Let's miscolor him!")
