It's not just you...nor is it just the photos. He is a light gray.

The tail fins hanging off the hips of mp3 starscream was awkward.. as were the pieces around the shoulders.. mp-11 is how starscream should have been made in the first place, with the fins as part of the legs..

i will say however that the paint on the mp3 takara starscream was superb.. it looked like battle damage / wear.. however one can say this looks more... cartoon accurate?

Huh, I really am liking the Takara Prime figures, but I can't justify paying 3 times more for figures I already have.

So... much... wasted... packaging plastic

Seriously, there is no reason for that much packaging. Put the cape behind Starscream, the shoulder pads and crown on the left under his wing and there you have it, about a third of it saved. That is where most of the cash is going to go for those importing him, the size of the box. As for the toy, I love how they handle the Null Rays, this is the first G1 Seeker that you don't have to unplug them to attach to the arm or wing. I still don't like the large pointed ends to the wings but I realise it was impossible to do otherwise. I'm not convinced this warrents a second purchase though. I'll wait till Peaugh does a review to see how it compares.

Here's hoping he ends up on sale in Argos for £20 like Skywarp!

Yeah, it's cool to compare the MP Starscream differences side by side. I love the pearly blue paint, which is consistent with the pearly paint job the other two seekers got. But I too am surprised with the dark face. I am hoping it is a lighting issue.

This is really nice update for MP Starscream, those kibble were gone and its more neat G1 accurate figure so far. Now, how much it will cost for that changes? :BANG_HEAD:

OK, yesterday I was really exited about buying MP-11, mostly because my MP-03 has a broken wing, but after these pictures I totally changed my mind.

It looks really cheap in these pictures compare to takara's ones.
It seemed to me that the red and blue colors were actually paint, in takara's pictures, but I see on this pictures that is only red and blue plastic.
And it doesn't come with his stand, I've been using the stand of MP-03 since the first day.

Well, I will use the money on the 1/60 macross frontier alto custom renewal version. Which I found some days ago in an store near my job.

I prefer to buy an used seeker (version 1) to fix the broken wing of my MP-03 and paint the other in some sunstorm color scheme.

Nice changes to MP Starscream. Definite buy if I didn't already have the US version.

Not really diggin' TakTom's approach to the Prime figures at all. Glad I am able to score Hasbro's...

WHAT!!!??? No space rubies embedded in a 14kt gold crown? For SHAME Takara! :BOOM:

In all seriousness though, I love these images. All the mold differences are awesome, and I hope they fixed the awkward neck/head ball joint too to increase head articulation.

I'd be bummed if there were no stand included if and only if the feet weren't remolded - it looks like we should be able to pose Starscream better now that all his weight won't be on those wobbly thrusters. I can live without good "in-flight" displays if we get better OVERALL posability.

Can't wait til TFsource ships mine out with my also long awaited Beelzeboss Goldbug Kit! Total win! :KREMZEEK:

They probably did it to keep the standardized size of the MP boxes. Most of them have similarly sized boxes so far.

Please let me know if that happens! :grin:

I realize it's accurate to most animation, but I absolutely despise that the Decepticon logos on Starscream's wings end up upside down in robot mode; I'm considering replacing my present U.S. edition Masterpiece Screamer with iGear's Traitor simply so I can put the damned faction logos on it myself in a manner I find more pleasing.

(It wouldn't be quite so annoying if Hasbro hadn't decided to put the faction logos on the US MP Starscream oriented one way, and the US MP Skywarp the other, so it's really noticeable if you display them together.)

MP-11 looks good but I'm not sure I can say it looks "better" than the previous incarnation. I like the fact that the hip kibble has been removed but MP-11 doesn't have the sleekness that the other does IMO. I also don't care for the darker shade of gray on the face. Other than that, Im sold haha. I will be happy to have this in hand.
