It's the deluxe Classics mold, with new paint!

Why couldn't they paint Classics Starscream like this in the first place?? (T_T)

Very nice. I guess this is what I'll have to buy Jaydisc.

To milk people for money. I knew things were going to come to this when they started with the Movie Premiums.

Now it seems that Hasbro will initially release a dodgy line and later do a 'premiere' repaints to essentially make people buy the same product twice.

Although this new Starscream looks very good and miles better than the original Classics release, I still like Henkei much better.

I can see the Hasbro internal email now: "yeah thats great, save that and show me a version with less "G1", and we'll release the version you've just done in a couple years after they've bought it once already!".

But I thought everyone had this figure already?

I think they are cashing in on the level of interest in Classics by making it available to people who wern't aware of them before te '07 movie. The different paint scheme also means that they can sell the toy to collectors a second time. Depending on the success of the idea I would expect to see alot more of this.

HELLO Universe Classics Premium Thundercracker...

Uhm, correct me if I'm mistaken... But this is still inferior in paint-aps (we're not even talking about chrome here) to the henkei... agreed?

Quoted for the truth!

Pass. I'm perfectly happy with the plain old original Classics toy.
