New Masterpiece Starscream - MP52

[DELTAprime]

I'm so glad I'm out of the Masterpiece game.

I already have MP3 US Ver., MP6, MP7, MP11, MP11SW, MP11T, MP11NR, MP11NT, and MP11ND.

I don't want to spend another cent on MP Seekers.

Luckily I only really collect Thundercracker

About time Takara started going back to their bread and butter molds. I'll take all 586 repaints.

Very excited for this redo, the existing MP definitely showing it's age at this point.

I couldn't be less interested. I'm just waiting for Jazz, Mirage, Skids, Hoist & Trailbreaker. Seekers... again... do not interest me.

As they are running out of moulds that have redeco potential (to make back their money faster)... it's not surprising that they would revisit this one.

I wouldn't really call it version 3 though, as the "version 2" mould only had some minor alterations, less than the amount of remoulding/re-engineering done to make the 3 coneheads.
The silhouette suggests that this is a completely new mould like Optimus, Megatron and Bumblebee, which if true, it would actually be version 2. (unless TakaraTomy officially list it as version 3 like they did with Optimus)

I'm somewhat of 2 minds. New characters and paints, for sure I'll be in. And I do need to replace my Hasbro Starscream MP3 because he is brittle, and unable to transform from robot. I'd likely try get the last Starscream to keep with similar aesthetics of my seekers. But I would likely skip most of these new ones unless they are not any of the 8 we have.

Is anyone else more impressed with UchinaConvoy's 1987 childhood photo than the actual news tweet itself? I love seeing photos of collectors with their toys as kids.

It's official - Takara will be releasing a new version of MP Starscream. Here are the Figure King Magazine scans via TFW2005.

It appears they've found a way to hide the tailfins in the robot legs which is neat. Looking forward to seeing the physical prototype.
