Seibertronian koolkollectibleskhai has come across a most intriguing image. We all know the troubled story of MP-23 Exhausts release, and while he was not cancelled unfortunately his Collector Coin never saw the light of day. Until now it seems! Some had surmised the coin had already been produced but then held back from release with the figure, and as we can see the coin was indeed made and now making its way through some... unsavory channels. See the coin below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

What exactly are the "unsavory channels" spoken of? I see very little in the way of details on this story...

Ahhh....okay. Illegal is unsavory, so that makes sense. I wonder why they wouldn't have just been destroyed by the manufacturer instead of stored somewhere.

Takara Tomy isn't involved in the coins, that's all Hasbro Asia's doing.
I said all along that the coins had to be out there, there wasn't enough time to cancel their production when the plug was finally pulled on Hasbro Asia's Exhaust release. I Still say Hasbro Asia should push for a new paint deco of Exhaust from Takara Tomy so that the coins can still be put to use.

Via fellow Seibertronians Emerje and Cobotron we have another chapter to add to the definitely non-trademark related story of Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-23 Exhaust - it looks like it might receive another release this coming October! Currently listed over at AmiAmi for 4900 Yen (approx $41 USD).
Will you be trying to pick this figure up the second time round? Take a look at the Seibertron.com gallery, ponder, take a breather and let us know in the Energon Pub.

I heard this was just unsold stock being liquidated, not a full blown reissue. Anyway, it's a fabulous MP. If there ever was a character to be retroactively inserted into G1, this would be my pick.

From your neurotic OCD troublemaking member.
I just transformed my Exhaust since the day hlj delivered my order last April. Always kept him in Lancia mode and all the carcinogenic endorsements not withstanding, I seem to prefer this rolling endorsement of death over Wheeljack (both car and robot mode)
These images I am uploading are not mine but I recently applied them on my version.
The decals also includes the "fix" on the "Malboro" triangle logo
Behold and judge.

Officially licensed by Hasbro Asia, decal transfers........way better that Reprolabels but a bit of a pain to apply.
Edit:
The second batch with the Malboro tri symbol is by Eness. It's like the unofficial version of Ocean Design decals.

Are they water slide decals? Dry transfer decals? Just really wondering how you apply these.

Dry transfer.
This btw is the official licensed by Ocean Designs. Unlike Eness which has the "Philip Mooris" logo sigil, and the Malboor/Lancia endorsement decal for the windshield.

The "not good" part on the Eness set. The decepticon sigil is made of material similar to those used for glitter stickers. It isn't a dry transfer decal but a peel and apply type (the only peel and apply) which broke apart when I removed it in the backing board stock. The rest are awesome.
Eness has this tendency to use some foil based type decals as opposed to what Ocean Designs which appear to be pvc/vinyl.
