Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-11T Thundercracker Collectable Coin Promotion

So they went out of their way to re-do Thundercracker in a lighter shade of blue but then decided to ignore that for the coin packaging? Not that anyone will particularly care, I'm sure, just seems odd.

Hasbro Asia is not Takara. Those are two different "they"s.
Case in point:

Anyone else have their MP-11T Thundercracker yet? I got mine Saturday, and he is gorgeous! All the silver/gray parts on his chest and pelvis are uniformly painted, unlike with MP Starscream and Skywarp, who have unpainted plastic for some of these parts (like the "codpiece") that doesn't match the surrounding paint very well. The only "flaw" with Thundercracker seems to be the black nosecone, which is toy accurate instead of the usual cartoon accurate. That's not in itself such a problem, except that he doesn't match his seeker brothers, who instead go for the cartoon accurate nosecone colors. Also his Decepticon sigils are right side up in robot mode, again, making him more toy accurate and matching MP Skywarp, instead making MP Starscream the odd man out with his sigils upside down like in the cartoon. Anyway, again, Thundercracker is beautiful. I'm not one bit hesitant to sell off my Hasbro version from a few years back.

I've got mine but haven't opened it yet - maybe I'll do that today...
