MP-11 Starscream

MP-11: G1 accurate Starscream aka 'Coronation Starscream' was released last week. Finally got a chance to take pics of him in robot mode. I guess a vast majority of collectors' mind, is "Why should I get yet another seeker mold?" I already have MP-03: Starscream, who is a green/blueish color, MP-06: Skywarp and MP-07: Thundercracker. That's 4 of the same mold - do I need another? Of course I do!  Why? Because MP-11 is molded completely different. Its done away with the silly hip-fins (WTF?). The poorly designed feet drove me insane. I just couldn't get them to balance on the ground. It took so many poses to to get one right!  The kibble in robot mode that hangs off the jet air-intakes are also removed. The best part is that they FINALLY gave Starscream a new, more G1 accurate head-sculpt and color scheme. Also, the proper crown and cape is included! The 3rd party one that I bought for MP-03 was pretty cheap looking. The cloth cape was alright because it gave him that real flow look but I'd take the plastic version that came with MP-11 any day.



Overall, that makes this figure more G1 that has pushed me to get it. I actually didn't think twice when I put him on pre-order when they first announced the release. I do like this figure a lot and think it is easier to transform than the previous seeker mold.  I have a few criticisms.: (1) it does NOT include the 'short' heat seeking missiles of the previous seeker molds. TAKARA you are WAY better than that!  (2) it does not come with the stand that came with all prior seekers. Again, TAKARA why?? (3) the box is bigger than it should be. It was weird because I thought he was going to be the size of MP-01 Optimus when I first got him. Pretty sure they could have made it more compact. If the price is not an issue for you, and you want more of a G1 cartoon accurate mold/colors, I defiantly recommend this figure.
