    Default Takara MP-11 Starscream in-hand images

    Don't post news often (this is twice now ) so mods please change as appropriate.

    Seibertron.com has images of Takara's MP-11 Starscream which look like they're from robotkingdom. I don't know - looks a little cheap now, and the null rays seem to be permanantly attached to his arms. To me it looks a little like a cross between rts legends 'scream and classics 'scream. Had few a good comparison shots between MP-3 and MP-11.

    The relatively cheap $130 pricetag is a good indicator of the quality. Doesn't look or feel like a Masterpiece does it? Doesn't look very flash. Not a smooth finish on the plastic.

    Not getting this anymore

    I'd probably only pick this up on sale as i already have the Hasbro release of mp03. Other than completionists I think many will be the same.

    Although i like the slight differences (the tail fins on the legs mainly and the feet look more sturdy, but not as neat in jet mode), i'm not rushing out to get one.

    When compared to the promo pics and even the original Hasbro G1 colored MP Starscream, it does look very cheap. It looks like it got hit pretty hard with the cost cutting hammer when it comes to the production release.

    I can't say that this is helping me reacquire my faith in the Masterpiece line since Tomy merged with Takara.

    Wow! Before I saw these comparison pics I was kinda annoyed I hadn't preordered the new screamer, but now I see it next to the one I already have and I'm not impressed at all. There are SOME minor parts I like more but honestly the original is a much nicer finish. Why did Takara use Hasbro grey? LOL
