MP-11 - Masterpiece Starscream?

[Magnus]

I must admit, it does look pretty good, and it's good that this version has heelspurs for support and all the other accessories, but I'm not exactly eager to get this one. I already have a figure from the Masterpiece seeker mould and don't see myself getting another anytime soon, even with the tweaks.

kapow toys does tend to get obscure inside info frequently, but if they're saying this revamped MP Starscream is the first of 6; and you guys say there's a Ghost version in the pipes - then that only leaves 4 other seekers planned

Thundercracker, Skywarp and their Ghost variants?
If this is true, then looks like there is very little luck of ever seeing Official Coneheads...

I think the Ghost Starscream comment was sarcasm at how it shelf-warmed everywhere.

Three original seekers plus three coneheads = six. Additional exclusive Ghost or Sunstorm variants wouldn't suprise me at all tho.

With the new MP Prime and now this, and the new United toys...Is it just me, or have Takara totally lost the plot of late? It's like they're purposely sabotaging two of their greatest lines. Just seems bizarre to me. :/

Takara have become terribly unfocused since their merger with TOMY. Takara were way more awesome before TOMY (IMHO).

[Lord_Zed]

I don't see it, sure fans have been critical of the re-use of characters in the same line, or moulds people don't like but I don't see any evidence that suddenly they lost the plot just because some fans don't like what they have announced. Takara Tomy gave us 3 new MPs, Grimlock, Rodimus and MP 10 Prime, as well as continuing on the idea of Takara's lines in things like United and the Alternity line. Seems to me they are dong much the same things as usual.

On the matters of QC and even more so pricing on the other hand, that's a whole different ballpark.

I like it.
I don't have any of the mould. It would have to depend on the price I can get it for though. US$145 is a bit steep. If that was including shipping I might consider it.

But I like the overall look of it. I think it is an improvement over the previous one, at least from all the pictures I have seen of both moulds. I love the cape. The way it has the folds in the middle is great.

I think I might get it if I can get it cheap. I really could use a seeker with the other MP figures.
