    Expected, but still: fuck yeah.

    1- Do not make it a TT Mall ex.

    2- For the love of everything that’s holy, include a damn flight stand.

    I'll have to see and mess with the flight stand, because so far nothing any of them have released has worked as well as FlightPose stands do for me

    Right. FlightPose stands are the best that will ever be produced. Hard to improve upon perfection.

    I guess this is now the most appropriate thread in which to share this:

    Glad TC is coming before SW. A sure buy for me.

    Though with every Thundercracker figure, I am always torn. On one hand I like the lighter blue because of its screen-accuracy, but I always find myself missing the deep, almost teal-ish metallic blue of the toy. Obviously the MP was always gonna go for the on-screen hue... but I always enjoy getting the occasional toy-inspired Thundercracker to scratch that itch too.

    He looks very good so far, but I really think they miss a huge opportunity if they don't include a detailed mini Reflector with him. Everyone wants that and the one in the Hasbro accessory pack looks like total shit.

    I am so happy to finally after almost 20 years of MP's get a Thundercracker that isn't randomly colored. MP-11 Thundercracker (and Skywarp for that matter) sucked balls and these characters deserve some justice. The best part about the new Starscream is the chance to finally do TC and SW right and I'm very glad to see it won't take long.

    It's the second iteration of Masterpiece Thundercracker. Takara labels things based on if they are new molds, so MP-07 was V1, MP-11T was V1.5 because that mold was a retool of MP-03/07, and now this is V2. Now there's just the question of if he will be MP-52T or a new number all together.
