I know MP-44, ‘s third version of a Masterpiece Optimus Prime, is starting to roll out around the world with a ball-bursting price tag of AU$500+ (quality control issues included) but shit, I still love my MP-01. It’s still one of the most bad-ass toys in my collection... not to mention one of the heaviest what with all that mutha-effin die-cast... and for a toy that’s roughly 16 years old, it still holds up amazingly well. I admit, I also own MP-10, Masterpiece Optimus v2.0 and it’s great too but this awesome lump of plastic and metal will always be among the favourites in my humble yet superbly curated collection. 👍🏻
