Masterpiece toy you want but will probably never get made

Post by Best First » Mon Nov 15, 2010 9:29 am

Where, for example, is my Masterpiece Pipes? His visor would be backlit, fully formed fingers would merge from the end of his exhaust stacks, ready to grapple with decepticons and collect kettles. In fact he could come with a whole shelf of electronic crap. And he would have THE BIGGEST AUTOBOT LOGO EVER on his left shoulder. And i would love him forever and even buy the Huffer repaint (events must happen in this order) to say thankyou for his creation.

Or Masterpiece Guzzle? Complete with 'The Judge'. And elbows.

Bah.

For some reason, I always really liked Highbrow.

It was a toss up between him and Snarl for my original handle.

Fortress Maximus. :o

And Stormbringer Thunderwing.

Both in-scale to the old toys, and the comic.

Both have obvious reasons of awesomeness which I need not elaborate upon. [gushes!]

I had considered that one, but that would almost be a real weapon wouldnt it?

How about MP Impactor? Complete with cupholder and alternating heat/massage?

He should come in a set with Chandler, Joey and a TV showing reruns of baywatch.

How about that one from Big, the robot that turns into a building.

It may not be fun, Tom Hanks, but it'll most likely just gather dust on a mantlepiece, so who cares.

I never said it was Hanks' idea. Nor was I speaking ill of Big.

Point of fact, Tom Hanks' character says "a robot that turns into a building, where's the fun in that?" or words to that effect.

I was just saying that if it's intended to be a display piece, rather than played with by the pre-knees demographic, then it doesn't matter if it's fun or not.

Masterpiece Masterpiece Prime.

Twice the size and with more detail! And a voice box. And a trailer. And radio controlled.

Failing that MP Soundwave + a cassette of your choice :)

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

This would be cool.
Masterpiece Death's Head.


You'd think by now they would have at least made a 12-inch figure of the guy. By they, I mean Hot Toys, Sideshow Collectibles, etc. Some of the figures they make, you're like "why the [composite word including 'f*ck'] did they even spend time making a figure of that?"
