I agree molded detail is better than paint so I would hope they’d at least include a new head sculpt like they’ve been doing with the Masterpiece Beast Wars repaints and MP-36+ but thinking about it I hope they still have plans for a release called MP-44+ that looks like this photo. I think this mock points out pretty much everything I’ve been hoping from a toy accurate 3.0 Optimus

Ya know, I noticed this as I was adjusting my "MP and random stuff" shelf with some new things, but i really do appreciate how tall Trailbreaker ends up in the shelf. He and Artfire stand appropriately tall over car bots present on the shelf.

It also just goes to show how small the trainbots end up appearing in a group setting, which I don't mind, Raiden will eventually end up on the big guns shelf in my case.

MP-59 Rhinox official reveal

https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/11025685

Do we have any clue what the transparant J-shaped thingy does?

I wonder how much of a bitch MP Rhinox will be to transform?

From what i can tell. This figure will make transforming Kingdom Rhinox look like childsplay.

Hard to know for certain. Primal and Cheetor/Tigatron were relatively straightforward transformations. But, Rhinox will likely be a panelformer, like Dinobot and Megatron. Maybe to a lesser degree than Dinobot The Flower though.

Rhinox looks good but the price kills it for me.

I love that he has articulated ears!

Probably a stand adaptor.

Amazing what can be achieved when not trying to make the rhino's lower jaw become the robot's chest plate.

Aside from.. Primal, Rattrap, Airazor, Waspinator and Inferno. The faux beast chest is the only feasible solution for MP figures.

I meant in comparison to Rhinox's Thrilling 30 and Kingdom figures, neither of which have a chest as nice looking as this one due to theirs being formed from the rhino's lower jaw.

Exactly. For the streamlined MP look/show accurate look. Corners have to be cut.

The Kingdom one does NOT have his chest made out of the rhino jaw. It's just a "fake" part as it should be. However, my friend said that Kingdom Rhinox look dumb because it looks like he's wearing a bib or a fluffy cravate over his chest. Now I can't unsee it.

I really hate that both of these came out this year, it is very hard to decide between them which is the better MP for 2023
