New Color Images of MP-11 Coronation Starscream

New face mold, new hip mold, new machine guns and the removal of the hip kibble.

New investments in new molds plus the long dormant in plans but shelved but re implemented coronation set.

So the price is indeed justified. Money doesn't grow in trees (but from our drained pockets ).

Btw, Takara ain't forcing us to buy him right? We aren't like entitled to the price we want. This IS an expensive hobby.................heck, until now still saving for an MP-10 which I sooooooooo want but need to take care of other expenses first.

IT'S HAS THE SAME GIMMICKS!
wow, remolded head and no hip kibble, but that still does not justify the price!
Honestly, I would buy it but not for the price of $160!

new head.....nothing big there.

sorry takara it's still a pass for me.


there you go transfans, more for you to sink your teeth into.

oh, and why does he have a penis now?

Really bugs me that it seems to have no ankle joints, thus no articulation for the feet. I would trade the coronation set for more articulation. Specifically the feet and waist. No point in saying it can't be done. They've had plenty of years and this higher priced remold is what they come up with? Hmm.. When will they come out with a better Megatron, Galvatron, or Soundwave?

Haha I was right to wait, this is everything I wanted in a MP Starscream.

However, I hope that the repaints will omit the coronation set.

I don't like the feet, and he doesn't seem to have any ankle articulation. That sort of cancels out the improved hip articulation due to the removal of kibble. The new face is weird too, a little to cat-like, or something. I also feel like those wing spikes should fold up. Could use more paint detail too... That's a lot of issues for an 'improved' figure.

I do like the fact that he's not white though, unlike the previous Hasbro & Takara US Editions.

Ah yes. Better images. There we go. I'm still all for this release. I'm happier now.

Considering today's value of the dollar, I think 160USD is fine. I got Thundercracker for 145USD. And that like the time it came out. MP-04 cost around 130USD in 2006. And that was 2006 money. I personally think the price is a steal.

New molds for the arms, legs, null rays and pelvis area. Plus the coronation set.

And look at the plastic. It seems crispier. I hope the quality on this one is at par with MP-10. MY old seekers have warped and sagged plastic molds.

My only current gripe is the fact that the hands are still the same ball jointed ones.

I'm exited with this release.

Never say never.

To say I was underwhelmed with this announcement was perhaps attributing waaaaay too much from me excitement about the subject (if I buy any more MP Seekers they will be iGear's animation-accurate version with the fixed hip kibble, but then THIS occurred to me; what better reason to produce Emperor Starscream than if the next Masterpiece they're cooking up is a Galvatron to blow him to bits. We can only hope; additionally, I hope any future Masterpiece Galvatron includes a set of Starscream's feet, whcih were of course the only part left of him after Galcatron disentegrated hm ith that single fusion blast. Still one of the most cathartic moments in cinema from my childhood....

So okat TakaraTomy, you can now tell me where my Masterpiece Soundwave and Masterpiece Shockave are. I've been waiting VERY patiently for those two.
