Good



Bad

That is hysterical!

[Hursticon]

You've gotta be kidding, that's just pitiful!

[Vector Prime]

Be thankful that they actually attached a head

It's Action Master/Classic Pretender Legends Starscream! I actually prefer the grey head - he just needs a black face.

As mentioned in the Acquisitions Thread, I picked up Starscream today and mine has the unpainted head. There was only one other on the pegs which I checked and this also had an unpainted head.

I just assumed that they (Hasbro) decided to go with this considering there were two exactly the same. Now I'm just pissed off that I have to look for another one

A third party should make articulated shells for this Starscream, Legends Jazz and Bumblebee.

I wonder if it is a running change, if there have been more than one sighted. And if so, which one is gonna be the rarer one and/or the more desired one by collectors?

[Sharky]

that is interesting... maybe the painted one is the defect lol,

there was only two starscreams on the pegs at the local toys r us so will be interesting to see which will be deemed the common version.

You could quite possibly be right. All early pics of Starscream had no paint apps on his head and then all of a sudden reviews started popping-up showing him with a black 'helmet'. I remember reading the fan-rage over the initial photos and people saying that they were going to use Sharpies to correct it.

I reckon the rarer one is going to be the Starscream sans paint app as this would have been the first release.
