It seems Takara's penchant for toon accuracy is not letting up. Not only will we be getting an MP+ release of Wheeljack release but come late July 2019, you will be able to get your hands on a cartoon accurate deco of Masterpiece Bluestreak titled MP-18+ Streak.
This will be a Takara Tomy Mall exclusive in Japan which means that no other Japanese retailer will be selling it (so no Amazon Japan). It will surely be available at import shops with either a Hasbro Asia release or a full on North American Hasbro release, with Hasbro's English language all black slip covers. It would be the exact same toy inside of course. In Japan, this toy will sell for ¥9,180, which is usually equivalent to around a $90 price point in the west.
Aside from the more toon accurate deco, we also have extra faces and extra effect parts as you can see in the images below. Enjoy!
Product content Streak main body (1), cry face (1), laugh face (1), effect parts (3), instruction manual (1), character card (1)

Prowl MP-17++ with swappable jerk face and a table to flip over!

Why didn't they do this with Sideswipe Plus, too??
I already like the original MP Blustreak. But this is really cool. And probably irrelevant since it's a TT Mall exclusive.

You're kidding but I can see it happen

If Takara started selling just effect parts, I would be 100% in. Different rays, blasts, and bursts. I’d love a missle circus effect for the Seekers missle pods.

The overall deco is just really pleasing.

The shoulder cannons already built into the figure are the more show-accurate ones, as is the goal of this + version.chuckdawg1999 wrote:I'm surprised it didn't come with the big launchers.

Wish Red Alert wasn't the first bot to get a PLUS edition. Maybe then the series would have evolved enough to retool his shoulders and arms. #JusticeForRedAlert
I assume Smokescreen will be the last one to get a (cartoon) PLUS release. (Unless they actually want to redo something big like Soundwave just to remove some paint apps and make his feet dark.)

I think for that it would need more thn a retool, it would need a new transformation, so a 2.0 version.

Hope that's a prototype as the side mirror is also missing paint.

As y'all know, the toon stuff ain't my bag, but DANG! I gotta say, the flat/matte paint looks really nice! And the add-ons are fun.
Won't be getting this, as I have enough of the mold to keep me happy for a life time, but always happy to see more Bluestreak in the world.

Do it! It's a great mold.

Just like after seeing them... I"m sold on the big chest windows for Prime, even if they're hidden behind his real truck windows (which I think disappear into his legs).
As far as why Streak isn't cheaper... I'm glad he's not... if he was over $100 I probably would have skipped him. The blast effects and significantly changed face are a big plus in my book. Dreading if they're going to re-do (again) the other MP+s with faceplate swaps and blast effects....
I also can appreciate the old MP Bee since I got the faceplate for him. He'll be a good nod to a new "toy" version... where as 45 would be an animation representation to a painful t.

Here's hoping you form a long lasting attachment. Cheers!D-Maximal_Primal wrote:I placed a pre-order. Not sure if I will stick with it, but I have it here in case. It really is an awesome deco and looks really cool. I have no attachment to any of the Datsuns, but the coolness is enough for me for now

This new release of MP-18 Bluestreak comes in more matte cartoon-accurate paint job, new faces, and effect parts that can plug into his gun or shoulder canons coming directly from the show. The images reveal how expressive and dynamic this figure can be thanks to the new faces and improved neck articulation. The effect parts work in the rifle and shoulder cannons thanks to interchangeable connectors.
We have mirrored some of the images below for your convenience.
Are you liking this Anime version of this Praxien? Do you prefer the standard release of this Datsun fellow? Or do you just prefer your Bluestreaks to be, well, blue? Tell us in the discussion below.

Not sure what happened to my order, looks like they had some issues while filling it.
He's been removed from the store as well.
