MP-11 - Masterpiece Starscream?

[Hursticon]

Courtesy of TFW2005.com, apparently there is a listing for an MP-11 Masterpiece Starscream on Hobby Search; translated details suggest that this figure will be of a new mold with new features including a Hologram Pilot and Coronation gear along with a Crown.

Will this really be the next MP?, is there any legitimacy to this listing? and how annoyed will fans get at the prospect of more rehashed MP figures rather than outright new ones?

Derp.

I have all 3 of the original MP seekers, give me cone heads at least!

Wow MP line is dead then......it may come out with new molds, but a rehash is a rehash.... nothing new to inject the line just can it then, there's been a lot of suggestions, good ones at that, I see no reason why the people behind this subline just dont take a hint. There's the rest of the dinobots and Soundwave with cassettrons that have been discussed to death in various forums yet.

I mean it's not a line for kids at all anyways it's for the collector end market... so if this is all they can offer, and come up after that midget MP prime Rehash is this.... epic fail....

So... a $250 Starscream rehash to go with the $250 Optimus rehash, which was already over-priced.
I'm losing the love for the MP line real fast.
There was just so much potential too.
(then again, the first 7 MP figures were just 3 moulds, with an extra 4 ltd-ed decos, making it 11 MPs using the first 3 MP moulds - perhaps since the Convoy & Seeker moulds made more money than the other 3 moulds (Grim, Meg, Rod) Tomy are just going with what is a guaranteed seller)

Yeah... this is stupid. Give us new freakin' characters. Where's MP Time Warrior??

I'd wager that it's not such a guarnateed seller the second time around, especially based on all the comments in this thread so far.

It got bought by Casio

Hmm, not sure what to think about this.

Oh man I got excited for a sec after seeing the thread title. There isn't much that's overly flawed with the first MP Starscream release to warrant this is there? The Hasbro version can be picked up for a meager $50. Even if this new mould is outstanding in comparison, you'd be hard pressed to find many collectors willing to shell out $250.

Major fizzler man.
