I just got mine yesterday really like the blue on him, looks almost like Takara quality IMO. Still the mold is showing it's age the knee joints are stiffer than a 90yr olds!And also the wings are a bit loose on mine but overall I think this is the best of the Seekers.

Ooh, this toy's out?!
Gee I hope not. I have the TakaraTOMY Thundercracker and it has some disappoting quality issues (which a lot of other collectors have also reported) -- loose wings, missile launchers don't fit on tightly (I stuck small bits of blu-tac in the holes to help hold them), slight misalignment of the Decepticon logo tampograph...Originally Posted by Fonecrusher

The wings are definitely an issue on my version they seem pretty loose, I'm extremely careful when transforming him.
Anyway a few pics since this thread is lacking any, taken with my iphone sorry for the quality.

The blue is a bit darker and I guess more metallic looking in person, my room just has these ultra bright lights.I have to say, that is one 'cracking paintjob!

From what I read:
There are a number of different moulds for the same basic seeker.
Unfortunately, the exclusive Henkei Skywarp/Thundercracker had those issues The particular mould that those were created from had degradation issues- I think the universe starscream/ or was it acid storm? was from the same and had similar issues also.
As for Gen Thundercracker- he is awesome - nice deco/ affordability/wide availability. I got him misb and he will remain that way. Unfortunately, I only own the Henkei Starscream- so for uniformity - I prefer the Henkei versions for the uniform deco. I bought the KO Henkei ones before this was announced...

WOW, after sooo many toys have been released in this mold and it's variants the promo photo is still mistransformed.
how hard can it be?
I have this, it's not open yet but it will be. it is the third of the 3 original seekers and it's the 6th of the original g1 set of 6 that I need in my collection so getting hold of this guy is a no brainer.
I do really like the colour even though it's still in the packaging.
