Takara MP-47 Masterpiece Hound Transformation Sequence

Figure Note:
Stop-Motion Transformation of Takara/Tomy MP-47 Masterpiece Hound. What an exceptional figure. Amazing how they stow so much inside the feet. Why does the left rear wheel well end up with a tab slot above the wheel? Nothing that comes with him fits into it and it actually causes a slight issue with clearance. Total mystery. The right rear wheel well does not have it. It seems to serve no apparent purpose. Note that I open the hood and send the shoulder armatures slightly in the wrong direction to free up the fenders - they are much easier to deal with this way, so it’s part of the proper method as far as I’m concerned even though it’s a bit like parts-parking.

Production Note: I shot the entire 250 frame Jeep turnaround with overlaps to do transitions later and only THEN did I notice that one of the mirrors was down. So I had to reshoot the whole damned turnaround.

Viewing Note:
If you want to follow along, I recommend skipping to the speed run and using the Chrome plugin called "Frame by Frame for YouTube". It turns your , and . keyboard keys into single-frame movement keys. Every step of the transformation is documented in the frames of the video, in what I consider to be the best sequence. With minimal rubbing and minimal parts-parking.
