Just wanted to say that the iGear Masterpiece Dirge and Thrust arrived at my doorstep this morning, after preordering directly from iGear back in Nov 2010. I'm guessing anyone else who ordered from them should be receiving soon, if not already.

And what perfect timing, I just put up some new shelves and there's one specifically for MP Starscream and pals!

Again, I just wanted to point out that the shipping box makes mention of other PP03 figures, even though iGear has only made known the 3 released coneheads, a Sunstorm, and a ice/blue mold coming out in the future. There are 4 more codes besides the aforementioned 5.

I'd like to see them in comparison to others before taking the 150ea. plunge into darkness.

Still waiting on mine. Ordered Sunstorm too from TF Source and its all shipping at once.

Please post some pics when you get them all set up.

No pics yet, but will work on a few. Any specific requests?
When you say "comparison to others", I take it to mean the official MP Seekers. The iGear products are the same scale, and it seems the quality is about the same as well.

Anyone else reading this who has the figures, feel free to post your own, but I'll try to have a few uploaded Wednesday afternoon - I'm not a very adept photographer and have poor lighting sources.

***Just wanted to add, I have a full set of MP seekers, MP Grimlock, MP Rodimus (Takara), and a most Classics figures and Alternators available. Just give me a few ideas of what y'all want to see and I'll work on uploading these the next few days. I'm really pleased that I got these guys, the paint looks great on all of them, and this just makes my little Seeker heart shoot past the stratosphere seeing them all together.

Probably the original 3 and ghost...

Thrust looks fantastic, but if I got him, then I'd have to get the other two...and I'm just not feeling like throwing $400 at these.

I never thought of the possibility of the original 3 and a ghost. I think a case can be made for purple clone, however. Maybe even a version of the e-Hobby Starscream (Black and Gold).

And, yeah, you really would have to get the set. Buying just one would be such a tease.

Have Ramjet, deciding on whether to get the other two. He's good, but I'm not sure i'm in for another $240+ to get the others.

Can Dirge's upper small orange wings be flipped down?

You may choose to not flip them at all, and they would be down like the G1 figure. However, I don't recommend this, as it severely limits leg movement.

Just got my Thrust (Attack) today! Very impressed with the figure as a whole. Loving the dark maroon/black coloring and the maroon paint apps on the black parts. Very dark appearance. He just looks badass!

Joints are solid, plastic is better than the original greenish Starscream MP, almost as good as the Takara Thundercracker and Skywarp. Feels solid and well made. He was a little stiff in the wrist articulation at first, but not a problem.

The new design for the ex-hip kibble really makes these superior to the official releases IMO, I really cant express how happy I am with this product.

He is my favorite of the Coneheads to begin with so someone might want one of the others if only getting one. Assuming the quality is consistent, you can't go wrong with any of these "K.O's"
