Takara Tomy has posted its listing for MPG Hot Rod. This release appears to be a retool and redeco of Studio Series 86 Hot Rod with additional accessories. This is an interesting reinterpretation of the MPG line as most MPG figures have basically been modern day Masterpiece figures while SS86 Hot Rod was originally sold as a Generations Voyager Class figure. This figure has an MSRP of 19,800 Yen (about $124.86 USD) and is due to ship in late September 2026. Until then, check out the official photos and info below (as translated by Google Translate).
