Toy Review - MP11 Starscream

[Deonasis]

Awww man! I've only just decided that I can't justify buying one of these and now you're making me rethink!! Can I ask, how well does the bracket that keeps his weapons permanently attached work? It looks like it has ball joints in photos, are the weapons able to be removed? And is it an improvement?

Compared to all his other needed improvements this is a gimmick, it works great but is only a tiny improvement and wasn't needed. It uses a small piece of plastic that has a ball joint at both ends to attach to cups in the upper arm and null ray. It works great but the cups stick out of the upper arm so if you want to remove the guns you will see the cups.

Thanks for the lowdown Deonasis. From the reviews I've read so far, it seems that the pre release photos did MP-11 no justice whatsoever.

Would be great to get more input on plastic quality though.

Thanks, I actually liked the offical pics but saw quite a few other ones that had me worried about a black face and hasbro grey. I trawled the net and found some good galleries but the were foreign and I can't find them now

And I am no plastic conisuer (I rarely "get it" when people mention cheapo feeling plastic) but it seems fine. Like the original MP Starscream mould this one can have very stiff legs to extend during transformation, with building pressure and a little wiggling my legs slammed down out of jet mode and I have checked for stress marks/cracks/etc and found none (unlike MP09 which has broken like pastry for me).

Plastic quality can be a test of time thing sometimes, GPS anyone

My only concern is the small clip that the wings hinge on but they have tried to address the problem here (not that any of mine have broke) and I haven't read about any new ones breaking so far, and yep only time will tell.
