Seeker Toy Questions

Originally I was going to ask about this first question but I thought why not ask a few more, anyway.

Today I stopped by a local toy shop and saw the G1 cone-heads and somehow came across to questioning if the reissues that came through E-Hobby if the wings had stickers or were they painted on like Encore Thundercracker same goes for the E-Hobby and Encore Sunstorm if the strips were painted on? I can understand why the Encore Skywarp stripes were not painted just wondering about the rest of the seekers.

On the legends movie Starscream mold was he ever painted into Skywarp?

The My Clone line never released Skywarp, right? Is there someone out there that repaints PVC figures for others?

In the titanium line for the 3" figures they only repainted the Starscream mold into Thundercracker, right?

The legends Cybertron Starscream mold has not been painted into Dirge and Thundercracker, right?

The voyager Cybertron Stasrcream mold that was repainted into a red version of Starscream that looks almost like Thrust, it was in an exclusive set with another figure but who was that and what store exclusive was it?

I can't answer them all as I've got news to post shortly, but the 'Red Starscream' was a Toys'R'Us Exclusive that was released alongside Vector Prime.

Correct, it was repainted into Sunstorm, Skywarp, Botcon Ramjet, Classics Ramjet, and Classics Thrust.

Yup.

The legends Cybertron Starscream mold was has not been painted into Dirge and Thundercracker, right?

Dirge no, Thundercracker yes, for the ROTF line as a K-Mart exclusive.


The rest don't know. What's the My Clone line?

hmm... I'm a little confused. I know there was a legends movie Thundercracker repaint with Blades, Jetfire and someone else at K-Mart but don't remember a Cybertron legends repaint of Starscream into Thunderacker? I'm guessing you got those two mixed up by copying the wrong question.

As for the My Clone line, it was a line through Takara of PVC figures that had interchangeable body parts. I'm pretty sure that's right, if not someone can correct me on that.

Thanks for the other info.

Yeah sorry, got it mixed up.

To clear things up:
Legends Movie Starscream Mold into Thundercracker: Yes. And there was also a black repaint called Stealth Starscream. Packaged with a repaint of Legends Prime called Nightwatch Prime.
Stealth Starscream may be able to pass as Skywarp though.

Legends Cybertron Starscream Mold into Thundercracker: No. At least not that I know of.

The PVC figures you're talking about are called SFC's or Super Collectible Figures. Hasbro imported them as Heroes of Cybertron. The good news is, with the Japanese and US line combined all six Seekers are featured, even Sunstorm is there. There is also a BotCon exclusive set that had the first 3 Seekers, plus a set of 3 generic Seekers called "Decepticon Reinforcements". And let's not forget the Starscream with the crown and cape from the movie.

The total list:
- Starscream
- Thundercracker
- Skywarp
- Thrust (Japan only, Act 6)
- Dirge
- Ramjet (Japan only, Act 6)
- Sunstorm
- Decepticon Reinforcement
- Starscream with Crown

MyClone is a line with Super-Deformed cutesy figures that indeed have interchangeable parts. Research shows only Starscream, Thundercracker, Thrust, Ramjet and Dirge were in the line, with Dirge and Thundercracker being rarer chase pieces.
