Does MP-60 Ginrai Scale?

[@Deltacon84]

The Masterpiece line has always been changing style and size its just transormers that aim to be high quality and do more than traditional transformers could. But now time and tech has moved on its redundant as we see smaller normal transformers that acomplish as much.

[@mp_reviews]

I'm not sure I agree that smaller normal transformers are equal in quality of craftsmanship to legacy pre-MP-60 Masterpiece figures. Can you provide an example?

[@JUANORQUIO]

WoW! That’s Incredibly Cool! Have a great week!

[@mp_reviews]

Thanks. You, too! 👍

I'm still waiting on MP Prime figures lol

[@mp_reviews]

Same here. 😆

[@igson-in4rd]

Isnt the japanese name for Optimus Iron Convoy?

[@mp_reviews]

Not that I’m aware of. I’ve always seen his name on Japanese products displayed as “Convoy”. But maybe there’s a version of him which is called “Iron Convoy”. 👍🤷

[@sefy76]

Thank goodness i've only collected G1 of Season 1 / 2 and Partial Movie figures, never was into the Japanese continuity... The only upsetting thing is not having official Jazz/Mirage in the Masterpiece scale... but I got very good alternatives...

[@mp_reviews]

Sounds like you’re set. 👍 You know what they say, “More bots, more problems”. 😆

[@goldenltd1970]

The 6m for Optimus never really worked Does MP60 scale with MPG Raiden? Never had him in hand, but the seperate bots always seemed a little too small

[@mp_reviews]

MP-60 is actually too large to be in scale with MPG Raiden. I don't know for certain about all the individual Trainbots, but MPG-01 Shouki is definitely too small by 1+ inch.

[@UnChannelDuVulpineX]

I am very happy with my Fans Hobby Power Baser and the God Armour. However, I am miffed that TakaraTomy appear to be abandoning the masterpiece scale when there're still many figures they haven't done. I've been waiting for the Insecticons (there's no way I'm paying the inflated prices for the Fans Toys ones), Galvatron, Jazz, Springer, heck all the triple changers and headmasters.

[@mp_reviews]

Power Baser looks really cool. 👍How tall is the base "Ginrai" bot compared to MP-10 or MP-44 Optimus? With the latest leaked announcement of a MPG Shattered Glass Optimus (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZKriWmEfM6MkKcsi=EOccd2RrzuXI1i9n&t=130), I wouldn't be surprised if all Takara puts out in the near future from MPG are new "MPG class" characters and repaints of existing MP molds. If they do release new G1 MP size figures in the MPG line, I bet they'll string collectors along with mostly other stuff in between. 🙄

@@mp_reviews you know Mike!! Is like what you said!!..we have no Insecticons, they didn't finish the Dinobots, no Galvatron, Constructicons, or other season 1, 2, 3, Staple main Characters. But yet they'll do a Skids?..🤔 I mean, I don't get it? 🤷. Once again I love Takara, but is almost like Gosh!! Do they know there market?..than they released those Trainbots ..what a Catastrophe! I mean, am happy for people who bought them and love them!! But Goodness Gracious!! $160 for one Trainbot?..that looks like a CHUG mainline? That's insane. Did you see when he combines? It's like ..almost incredible that they actually sold this to the public. 😵

[@UnChannelDuVulpineX]

@@mp_reviews The Ginrai part of Power Baser is the same height as MP-10. I believe Fans Hobby is reissuing Power Baser in the fourth quarter of this year..

[@mp_reviews]

@2006chunming Haha. Good point about Skids. I’m afraid Takara will be stringing out the remaining G1 characters people want among other releases (e.g. re-decos and other undersized combiners like Raiden) in the hope that Masterpiece TF fans will buy those along the way. If so, we may NEVER get Takara releases of some of the G1 characters people want. #pleasetakaratomy #moreg1masterpieceplease

[@mp_reviews]

I picked up the rerelease. It’s not my ideal Ginrai (too chunky), but it looks great.

[@2006chunming]

Mann!! Great video Mike!! Yes!! I agree with everything said. Personally, for me ..I could never really understand Takara. Is almost like they lack focus. One day they're doing a Hoist, another day they'll be Transformers masterforce, than they'll go to season 3. But yet those Train bots don't scale with the actual Masterpiece line. Than they say there coming out with an MPG line that will replace the current Masterpiece line. But they don't really clarify if the Numeric sequence will continue? Will it be MPG-01? 🤷‍♂️ ..people are not sure if they're going with another scale 🤔...is almost like they lack focus and direction!..to be honest. Third-party has literally been the Go To for alot of collectors. If companies like Fanstoys, Xtransbots, Mmc Ocular Max, Deformation Space, Star toys, wouldn't exist..I don't think I would collect. I surely hope they're successful!! Because I really do love Takara! I think there Hoist and Trailbreaker are the Definitive versions of the Characters imo! Also Mp-44, MP-47 Hound, and imo they get the Articulation and they seem to capture likenesses of the Characters the Best. But I think sometimes like xtb..they pick poor choices in materials. Imo!! Mmc seems to be the best when it comes to that plability factor. As always great video Mike!!❤

[@mp_reviews]

Thanks, bro! I think Takara knows that the most hard-core fans are G1 fans, and so they're in no rush to release the entire cast since there are other TF eras they might be able to get G1 fans and others to buy along the way. If they aren't careful, third-party might eat their lunch! And if we see third-party releases get cancelled and become fewer and fewer, we'll know that Takara/Hasbro has held third-party's chain all this time.

[@maltesefalcon85]

considering masterpiece beast wars arent the size of worlds smallest transformers i dont think they care about consistent scale that said it does fit the wfc scale they are doing

[@mp_reviews]

LOL! Great point about the size of Beast Wars MP figures. I don't collect characters from that series, so I hadn't really even considered that. Also, matching MP-60's scale to the WFC series scale is interesting. Thanks for sharing both of these observations. 😁🙌🙏

[@octobotimus]

The only thing changing is the name on the box…

[@mp_reviews]

Hmmm, maybe.

[@chaosenforcerdhm969]

Is the human to scale with the e other humans and if it is then it is too scale

[@mp_reviews]

Do you mean if the human figure that comes with MP-60 is the same size as Spike and Sparkplug from MP-44, then MP-60 is scaled correctly?

[@chaosenforcerdhm969]

@ why yes that is what I’m saying

[@mp_reviews]

@@chaosenforcerdhm969 Thanks for that confirmation. Due to the "mass shifting" which Transformers can do, I think the best judgment of scale is between their bot modes and not with the human figures that come with the Masterpiece characters.

[@TAURON85]

Sunstreaker was the last official MP I bought, since then I collect 3rd party bots exclusively and boy the difference in night and day. KFC Raijin(core robot) is on the way to me to finally complete my Raijin set and become the best possible western iteration of Powermaster Optimus Prime with the MARVEL Comics optional head and arm pieces! Not this overpriced, japanese nonsense hollow CHUG toy, I have zero respect or anticipation for! I'm selling my FansHobby PowerBaser even, cause KFC's does a perfect job embodying PMOP. Official brands can go bankrupt, I won't even flinch! 🤣 Edit: I watched the video and have to point out that you got congused. MP-60 IS indeed to scale with MP-10 and others(as long as we consider the core ginrai bot Optimus sized and not slightly bigger), while MPG-9 who also comes with a smaller core Ginrai bot is MPG scaled, just like MP-24 Star Saber. Hope that clears out the fog.

[@mp_reviews]

😆 Personally, I'm still not satisfied with any of the Masterpiece PMOP/God Ginrai options since none of them nail the Japanese Transformers Super-God Masterforce look IMO. Congrats on finding your version of PMOP! 🙌

[@kornkixassman]

Height of characters base on various episodes of TF victory Victory Saber > Starsaber (SS) = God Ginrai (GG) = Victory Leo (VL) > Super Ginrai (SG) # GG > SG When SS was about to lose to Leokaiser GG came and rescued him. You can see both are about same height or if you want to, you can say that SS is a tad taller than GG. That is because GG reincarnated and become VL. Most of the scene SS abit taller than VL. So if we want screen accurate scale we need toy SG who are 75% height of SS; and GG as same height as SS. Victory Saber is the tallest form of all. My personal opinion the closest for that at the moment i choose Takara LGex GG with MP 24 SS. The height is much closer with GG comes a bit shorter than SS but he is as same size as KFC Keith Fantasy Simba (VL) which are compatible with MP 24 SS to form Victory Saber.

[@mp_reviews]

Oooh!!🙌Am I correct that you are saying that the best scale match for Victory Saber (MP-24 + KFC Simba) is Takara LG-ex?

[@kornkixassman]

Yes sir. IMO those are the closest accurate scale toys to match with. Most of the fans of TF Godmaster Masterforce and TF Victory series didnt aware of the scale. Most of them thought and prefered that height Star Saber = Super Ginrai; and height of Victory Saber = God Ginrai; which is not the case in the both cartoon series.

[@scottcampbell9515]

Just get FansHobby's version of Power Master Optimus Prime.

[@mp_reviews]

That is a cool version for sure. Is the base robot the same height as MP-10/MP-44?

[@thealecjones]

I think mp-60 and mpg-09 will be full backwards compatible with original powermaster toy. So, scale of mpg-09 will be roughly the same as mp-24.

[@mp_reviews]

I’m confused: “backwards compatible with original powermaster toy”? Do you mean with the original G1 Powermaster Optimus Prime?
