As for the decos offered with Masterpiece Starscreams, Takara's original "blue-gray" fuselage color for Starscream is exclusive to them, Hasbro redecoed Starscream in G1 colors, which Takara then imported as a "USA Edition" later on. The remold Takara MP-11 Starscream and Hasbro's upcoming MP-07 release of the same share a very similar deco from preliminary promotional photography. The only obvious difference is that Hasbro's has a toy accurate blue nosecone, while Takara's is cartoon accurate light gray. There may be other subtle difference apparent later once people get Hasbro MP-07 in hand, of course.

Dont dispare. These are popping up all over the states now. I am sure you will find one at your TRU if you check it out once a week.
He has now been spotted in California. And every sighting so far reports the 59.99$

I did this with Devastator, and MP Bluestreak... Devastator I managed to get under $100... Bluestreak I got for around $38.
Devastator I happend to have a 25% off coupon, I signed up for the Credit Card and got an additional 15% off, and finally used $10 TRU Bucks... Bluestreak I could have gotten less had I found a 25% off coupon, but seemingly non-existant this month...
Without that initial signup TRU has 10% off on Thursdays. Rumor mill says that they are going to do this for Saturdays during Christmas time again.![]()

Credit cards yes are evil, but if you pay it off... This strategy can literally save you more money than waiting for Amazon, HTS, or any other online retailer.

Can't wait for my preorder to come in.

Starscream looks as good as he should.![]()
While a good review in general, there are two things that need to be pointed out:
1) You don't need to take off his null rays to transform. That's why they're on the double ball joint. Once you fiddle with them a bit, it's easy to do without popping them off and on every time.
2) Reviewer never flipped out the heel that's tucked in to the topside of his engines, which gives Starscream an actual stable set of feet to stand on. Watching Starscream almost fall over for half that video was painful. LOL![]()

I agree with you. My biggest pet peeve, is when a reviewer gets something wrong, and blames the figure for it. ARRGGG it's so painful to watch!
is it just me or does the blue seem to be a different?Wolfman Jake wrote:Good, he also figured out the tabs on the wings to fit into the slots on the back of the robot mode. That was killing me, watching the wings on his figure flop around every time he breathed the wrong way.
Also, the hologram pilot is apparently opaque black plastic instead of translucent blue in Hasbro's release. I haven't noted any other deco differences quite yet. Even the wing striping seems to be identical.

You mean aside fro the nose cone right?
The Blue and red is said to be 2 toned. Like how the hands have a different shade of blue than the forearms. Was that also the case with Takara? Also, his missile pods are painted while I dont think Takara's was.

Wolfman Jake wrote:Side by side comparison, at last!
The Hasbro version is on the left. The Takara version is on the right.
Looks like the Hasbro version has a silver trim around the Decepticon logos on the wings that Takara's version lacks. Also, though it may be a trick of the lighting, it looks like Hasbro went with a darker blue metallic paint than the Takara version, creating more contrast with the blue plastic molded parts. Takara's blue paint and plastic seem to match a lot better. The cockpit on the Hasbro version seems to be a lighter amber color too. Of course, let's not forget either the blue nosecone on Hasbro's versus Takara's light gray and the opaque black holopilot instead of translucent blue. It's interesting that Hasbro couldn't help but fiddle with Starscream after being so good with sticking to Takara's paint masks and colors with MP Prowl, Bluestreak, and even Grimlock. Oh well, I guess.
