Auction for Unreleased Generation 2 "Jungle Attack" Starscream?

I have to say... This deco looks suprisingly good. Smashing, even.

Wow. a Camo Starscream? Every toy should have that scheme!

The missiles on that G1 Starscream look different too.

That looks really nice! I wodn't mind a classics Screamer in that stile!

The color scheme looks G2-ish. Black and Neon...

I can't tell, is there anything different about the other Starscream??

He's missing his tail fins!

It's a shame they went with that Easter Sunday pink pastel version instead of this. That camo job looks puuuurty.

Interesting paint scheme, glad they didnt go through with it though, camouflage is not in Starscream's nature.

That's beautiful, but too expensive to bid on, even though the 'Screamer whore in me wants to. Mebbe a kitbash is in order, yesssss....

That IS cool. Really like that. Maybe we'll get something like that at some point in the future.

If I ever find another Classics Starscream, I'm repainting him like that.

Looks like a fake to me (stirring the pot...)

I like it. It's quite different, and it would be really cool to see in retail, or it would have been.

That is just Pri... I mean, AMAZING!
I just wonder hwy haven't this done before I can't remember if I ever toyed with the idea of a fan-fic character with such a paint scheme. I am not sure but I wouldn't be surprised because the concept rocks! \m/

Intresting, but I can see why they passed.

It doesn't say 'Starscream' to me, but I WANT ONE!

The description of the figure is terribly confused because it is so repetative. While I find the figure a curiousity, I don't think it's terribly interesting other than as a production model.

A camo Seeker? cool!

Actually, it's surprizing that we haven't had more TFs with camoflage considering how many are combat verhicles - I guess it comes down to paint and expence.

And the fact that Jungle camo doesn't really suit a Fighter Jet that will spend most of its time either in the Blue sky, or on the black and grey tarmac/concrete of runways.

Military aircraft with dark camo paterns on top and light blue or grey underbellies were common for many decades.

Yes they were. I recall seeing many pics of F-16s with grey/blue camo.

I am tempted to try and grab this given that it is legit. The close up shots though, make it look kinda shady. Looks like it was painted with water colors.

I don't see any proof that this is real. It's hand painted. Anybody could do a custom and make those claims. Without definitive proof that this is real, I wouldn't touch that auction. Unfortunately, if it is a fake some poor boob is gonna shell out some serious $$ on it and have nothing in his hands. Sorry, but I just don't trust "hand painted" without some really good proof. no way.

On top of that it looks like whoever painted it used a paintmarker or something. It looks terrible.

if it is real, it was probaly intended to be thundercracker

That description sounds like complete BS. Sorry it does.

They were, but this is guy is camo all over. Dont mean to be nitpicky or anything though.

Upon closer inspection, I'm led further to believe it's bunk. The back side of the legs is very yellowed. You can easily see it through the "paint". I think this guy had junkers he wants rid of and made up some BS story to get rid of them at a profit. Don't take my word for it. Go look yourselves.

I would not bid on it. In-house paint jobs by Hasbro. Was this done on other figures to anyone's knowledge? Can this then be confirmed based on past figures that went through this?

The A-10 wasn't a fighter jet like the F-16 but it's camo was pretty practical.

That thing looks like complete ass. How any of you can find THAT "in house repaint" cool is beyond me. Where's the certification? How do we know it was painted by HASBRO? Cause if HASBRO did paint that thing, they did a ridiculously bad job on it.

Wow, his reserve is higher than 150.00USD too. Like the old saying goes "Theres a sucker born every minute".

I'm calling total bullshit on that one!
Custom paint custom paint!!!!!!!!!

The freaking close ups look like someone did it with magic marker. This has to be a fake. Yeah It may have been from a former hasbro employee as he colored it on his smoke break! And why hold on to it for this long and then finally decide to sell it with out so much as a hint to it's authenticity?

The Seekers were always identified by their colors. They all look a like.

Now, how can we really tell if this Jungle version is really Starscream... or Thunercracker... or Skywarp... or...
