Toy Review - Masterpiece Thundercracker MP-11T

[drifand]

Voted only if.

Several things to note is this piece is very nice in terms of colours, and even though is blue plastic, "it works" in this case. However I had bad QC problems with my first one with rudder tip broken off and the tip was not in the package.

This seeker is by far my favourite but the cost of buying one is a bit high. Is an estimate of $250-300 to get one delivered if you couldn't buy one from Premium collectables at affordable $185.

Take note even at $185, there isn't any rockets or a stand or a cape. The plus side is that this colour is impressive among other mp-11 seekers. I think Takara's Skywarp or Sunstorm are good painted ones as well just that I wasn't a fan of SW.

Is a shame Starscream had bad grey plastic finish which actually spoiled the look of it in plane mode. One thing to also note, the silver intakes of TC is painted and not using plastic moulded colour like acid storm.

The QC for this piece has been bad, apart from my broken rudder tip, one member had claimed that he could not transform his to fighter mode without removing the head which I have not yet had the chance to transform mine yet.

I gotten this piece cheap so is an "only if" for me.
I did speculate that this piece will be release again by Hasbro but they may release Skywarp first. None of this are confirmed and is just pure speculation.

If you haven't got a Thundercracker, I would choose this piece over the old Hasbro one, as they are more or less priced about the same.
