    Loose joints are a simple matter to tighten up. Nonexistent joints that should exist are much more difficult to fix. I'd be fine with the loose ankles, but the lack of any sort of bicep swivel is a big deal breaker for me. I wasn't a fan of the chunky jet, but the bot mode looked incredible, and I'm very disappointed that his articulation is so lacking. Arms articulated like the SS figure would have been fantastic.

    I also expected his torso/shoulder joints to hinge way forwards and backwards to basically substitute a waist swivel, like the cg model does, but they barely have any movement according to PvP's review.

    I'm really hoping for a better designed Starscream that looks as good as this does in bot mode to come along sometime down the line, either 3p or official

    Looks like a pretty good starscream. It's not perfect, but perfection doesn't exist.

    Nothing whatsoever. I just sort of gave up. It's not ideal, but I'm settling for ordering from The Chosen Prime. At least I can do payments with them. Bummer, since Ratchet is about $80 cheaper on Target than anywhere else...glad I put in for that.

    Toys R Us in Canada put Ratchet up for pre-order on a pretty big sale. It sold out before I could order and now the listing is gone completely. And I don't believe Starscream ever showed up there at all.

    So I suspect the Target and TRU pre-orders for Starscream may be coming later. They are being listed out of order for some reason.

    I don't know if this has been posted yet but I was at target today and saw a price holder for MPM Starscream. The DPCI for it was 087-16-8015

    I saw one for Leadfoot too. I think they just sent out a reset for the next few months.

    I don’t know if it was before, but his link is now live with pictures and everything. Probably due out soon, if people are finding shelf tags.

    So Leadfoot's preorder just won't work and now Starscream is sold out.

    Ugh.

    I think it might've not gone on sell yet. When you search the website for Starscream I can't find him, whereas Leadfoot can be searched and his preorders are sold out. It will suck if he has indeed sold out.

    Nah, he’s scaled about right, his legs just aren’t meant to be NEARLY that compressed. When he said that was how they were meant to sit all I could do is squint at my phone...

    Had him in the equivalent of a squat for the entire review.

    I am sad that I can't recreate the first pic because of no ball jointed head and a lack of bicep swivels.

    He sure is a chesty broad. Saw the empty shelf with tags as well today. Was considering getting just the Autobots from this line (which I still need Jazz), but the thought of grabbing it off the retail shelf is going to tempt me.

    OK for those who are worried about his height, these are two different stances he can have, so rest assured his height can change DRAMATICALLY depending on your preference (not to mention the wings can be posed in many different ways too!):
