Starscream 4 dummies Uncut

Comments

I find it odd people hate the mask. I don't watch your videos for your good looks, sorry to say, but for what you have to say. I used to wonder what horrible visage was behind the mask :-) but it really doesn't even cross my mind anymore. I saw Manson several years ago when he had the flu. He puked on stage, managed to pull it into the performance, and literally passed out on the ground during the encore. Not a fantastic show, but damn, I have to give him respect for still coming out. Check Marilyn Manson Saskatoon For the price Takara charges, there should not be any QC issues. I am not really in favor of this ultra toon look, but I did pre-order this figure to at least check it out (I am weak). After spending over $200 on it, I really wanted to love it. What it did was help me decide I will not be buying the other repaints of this figure. I really wanted a better Thundercracker, but this will not be it. I think the ultra toon aesthetic makes them look more like a toy then a Masterpiece figure. As an example, I recently received my copy of the Transcraft Bumblebee. It may be the best looking figure on my shelf, and the new Starscream feels and looks so much more like a badly made toy instead of a higher end collection piece. Takara does seem to be sacrificing QC for articulation, but if the joints don't hold, articulation doesn't really matter. The sacrifice for the dumb gerwalk mode is as bad as the sacrifices made for the base mode on the XTB Trailer. I also think the stand for Starscream is trash, especially where the connection is for bot mode. The old crappy stand worked better for having him in a flying pose while in bot mode. The only other transformer stand I have that is as bad is the FTs 'Universal' Stand. It was also shitty with no real options. I saw the first impressions and I thought Bobby liked it out of the box. I think Robert had confirmation bias when he watched the first impressions waiting for Bobby to crap on it. Being light does not mean it will be bad. Takara is pretty much always light. Anyone who thinks you are too easy on 3rd Party has not seen your FTs Rouge review. :-)

I was thinking of getting the Thundercracker, but after seeing the pictures, I am out. I don't like the monochromatic color scheme on his chest. Just not enough contrast.

I was really hoping for this to be good, but also expected it to be Hound-y crap. Really, I just want a good Thundercracker and Skywarp. Since I started collecting, Starscream is the only Seeker readily available. If I knew that ordering this would help ensure QC improvements from Takara, or if buying a second Meteor would keep Make Toys in business, I would. But I'm not naive. I'm just a guy with only one Seeker. That all said, I really value your objectivity and honesty. I can always count on your reviews.
