Shockwave came in alt-mode

 

I have not been following transformers as much lately, and if it’s been discussed I apologize, but why is this not available directly through Amazon Japan? I have $100 credit from swapping Hound (my last masterpiece I bought) and I was debating biting on this. Thanks in advance

 

It went up for a very short time (maybe twice) but basically none of the new Transformers items have stayed up properly, so they haven't even really been available for Japanese customers either. The listing will probably be active in a few days.

 

Probably covid related?

 

Your guess is as good as mine, pal

 

thank jesus I got my order in. Stalking threads has its uses.

 

Yeah I was on the confirm order page but I hesitated

 

Back to the figure...

I'm just listing my old coneheads for sale on eBay and I've realised how thin they look above the waist. The mould just doesn't suit the wings being below the waist. If there's a way to create better versions of the coneheads from this new mould then that will go some way to making me bite.

Also I'd love to see Ramjet painted white. Bare unpainted white plastic never looks great (looking at you, MP Wheeljack!)

 

Damn, I feel special now.  

 

I hope Takara has sorted out their QC or they will probably completely ignore it and cut corners

 

To those of you fighting and name calling about totally irrelevant stuff...

...can you just not? And instead, get back to talking about MP Starscream? I for one would be appreciative of it.

 

I wish it was June

 

Agreed!

 

Delete the good one and turn it on when you want to purchase. I’ve done it that way the last six times. Sometimes I let it cancel and others I buy it and then delete the card when I’m done

 

I know a guy who did an OK G1 Barricade   

I'd imagine Starscream will be in alt mode out of the box and given the height of the vertical stabilisers I'm guessing the accessories might be on a smaller tray that sits on top of the jet body/ in front of the stabilisers to make the most of the packaging space.

 

Thanks!

 

I’m not a TT fanboy and I buy a lot of 3P figures, but looking at those comparisons, the MP-52 is just overall superior. The head sculpt is so much better, the colors more accurate and I also just prefer the overall proportions. Make Toys Meteor was a great Seeker mold, but I truly believe we finally got our definitive Starscream. In a lot of ways I bet Meteors existence made TT work harder to make MP-52 better.

 

TT killing it with the sculpts and proportions
