In a way, yes. I bid that this MPM will get a wide release like all others and will be easy to get on sale.

Heck, MPM Ironhide is available from both Toys R Us and Amazon for 63$CAN right now. So the same thing will happen to screamer.

But Screamer is the first to be exclusive no? That would change your strategy a bit. Just ask how those americans are doing who bided their time with RedWing.

I wonder who will distribute Screamers officially in Canada. Because as much that I like the guy, no freaking way am I dropping nearly 400 freaking Canadian dollars on a MPM figure.

Pretty sure it would be toysrus, though that could mean "No Ship to Quebec for You!"

Of course.
So far, all the MPM have been TrU "exclusives" and all of them found themselves at Amazon.ca. There's also Mandarake, where I bought my MPM Jazz. So if TrU don't want my money, my money will go elsewhere. ¯\_(⏓ヘ⏓)_/¯

Thanks to the Takara Tomy Twitter page, we have some more in hand images to share with you today for the upcoming Transformers Movie Masterpiece MPM-10 Starscream! MPM-10 Starscream is a brand new mold that captures the essence of the on screen character extremely well, and includes a lot of cool features such as all of his weapons, a ton of posability, and some intricate and well sculpted detailing.

Starscream will be a Target exclusive in the US and will retail for around $150. Takara's release will be a regular retail item that will price out around 20,000 yen (roughly $185 USD). We can expect the newest member of the MPM family to see release this fall.

Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Still waiting for better pictures of the jet's undercarriage.

Day 147 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Looks pretty great except for the unpainted machine gun.

it literally looks like the hunt for the decepticons figure with a worse chest

It doesn't look that much better from the old leader class figure. I'll keep my leader class figure.

Proof that the old Leader is a Masterpiece on it's own.
I preordered him on Amazon.JP
https://www.amazon.co.jp/トランスフォーマー-マスターピース-ムービーシリーズ-MPM-10-スタースクリーム/dp/B088CBY2ZG/ref=pd_rhf_eetyp_p_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=7N91DR9YXW0V932QFSS1

Item Subtotal:
￥ 13,965
Shipping & Handling:
￥ 1,505
Import Fees Deposit:
￥ 2,128

Order Total:
￥ 17,598

Even with the taxes and shipping, it's around 122$CAN cheaper at Amazon.jp than the alternative, Age 3 And Up: https://www.agesthreeandup.ca/collectio ... starscream
And that's NOT counting the taxes and shipping from them! :shock:

Anyway, I can see the engineering is much more advanced and is much more screen accurate on the MPM.
Still, I will never, ever sell my good old HFTD Leader Starscream. I really want the old leader and the new MPM to be side-by side on my shelf.

I have a question that's a bit off-topic. :???:

With all the 3Ps' making different versions of Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime, is there any word on an official Hasbro/Takara version of Bumblebee Movie MASTERPIECE Optimus Prime? I'd like a larger version, with perhaps some chrome detailing & larger in size.

If & when HasTak makes one, I'd hate importing it from Asia & having to wait weeks/months for packages. I'd rather order from BBTS, TFSource, Entertainment Earth, or Amazon(Direct), than from overseas.

I hope that they make that neck-tilt part standard in most new tfs :michaelbay:

If you order it from Amazon.JP, it seem you'll receive it as quickly if not faster than if you bought it from BBTS and such. There will also be a heavy price difference.
Amazon.JP use DHL and they seem to have struck an insane deal.

I got mp44 and mp45 from amazon.jp in about a week. Hound took about 3 weeks.

Greetings Seibertronians! Following on from the new images of MPM-11 Ratchet, In Demand Toys have updated their MPM-10 Starscream listing with our first look at the box he'll be coming in, along with two new stock images!

These new images also show all the weapons he'll be bringing with him so you can recreate different scenes with him once he's in your hands.

MPM-10 Starscream is currently scheduled to come out some time in September according to his listing, costing £139.99 (roughly $175.68 US). In Demand Toys have been quicker then other retailers in getting figures into customers hands, as its been the case with Transformers Earthrise Sky Lynx and Scorponok, and Studio Series Overload.

Are you planning on getting Starscream? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Preordered mine from Amazon.JP at a much cheaper price. 13965JPY, meaning less than 130$US. And their shipping is ridiculously cheap and fast. But this deal may be unavailable to UK residents.

This is going to be a great year for movie masterpiece

It's nice to see him in a more neutral pose,but in some of these pics the arms look mistransformed.
Can't wait to see him next to other Decepticons.

TonTon made the review weeks ago already. He also make nice comparisons with the old MPM-01 which is based on the HFTD leader, and the current SS voyager.

News Credits: 53 · by **EvasionModeBumblebee** » Sun Jul 12, 2020 5:12 pm

They completely nailed the robot mode! This is definitely something I'll be picking up, though I'm not sure when.

News Credits: 1 · by **megamanfan** » Sun Jul 12, 2020 7:49 pm

jeez. that lack of articulation in key areas, and lack of solid ratchets where they should be just makes me glad i have the HFTD leader. how is it they can release a "masterpiece" in 2020 that doesn't have a bicep swivel, when it's basically standard on a deluxe?
