    I third the motion for Yes-Model to do MP 11 Starscream in Takara colours.

    As you can see, once Yes Model's cell shaded MP-11 Starscream has been released, the next Yes Model Starscream repaints should be:
    -YM Starscream MP11 mold in Takara MP11 Coronation Starscream colors with coronation kit. This is long overdue.
    -YM clear/ghost Starscream in MP11 mold with coronation kit
    Do you work closely with Yes Model company to provide them with suggestions?

    Focus on everything after 40 seconds in the below video, as everything prior has already been done.


    Prioritization should be based on which ever of the post 40-sec seekers appeared in the most scenes (cutscenes, errors, whatever). So,
    -cybertronian colored rainmakers (yes, floresentesque colors) from divide and conquer 1st,
    -then more than meets the eye part 1 colored seekers,
    -then you can prioritize whatever else afterwards.

    Oh, and I wouldn’t mind a gold chrome thrust from the golden lagoon episode (I’d probably put that as 3rd, and would be okay with a generic golden chrome seeker that an double as any of them).

    Have you tried emailing tf-direct about when they expect to have it available recently? If so what did they say?

    I can actually see a kitbash of Starscream (a la MP-11 in TT colours and clear with the coronation kit) together @ChromeMagnus. If I'm not mistaken, FrenzyRumble did a custom of Skywarp in teleportation by using the MP-03G and MP-06 molds.

    Got the last batch of YM-03 at the beginning of this week and did the Bots and Bit's shoulder mod; however lost one of the shoulder pins when putting together. I still have the Walscream in storage [got it second hand complete (sans the packaging) with the notorious breakage at the hinges] and will be transferring the pin over to the YM-03.

    Everyone would like to know. That's a question that only someone with reliable communication to Yes Model can help answer.

    Drill a small diameter hole into the broken peg, thread a screw into the hole and pull it out.

    Then find another stand?

    Those stands should be easy to find so that's good news.

I think I pull the stand off on an angle which grab/pull/ put stress on the peg....and waken and broke off. Has this happen to anyone one?

    What I’m asking is how to fix the broken peg back on Dirge’s butt knowing the stand needs to peg back. If anything I can also lube the stand’s peg hole (sorry that sounds wrong) or wide the it just a bit so it’s not so tight.

    I’ve seen a method where copper rods between pegs and glue and claims it makes a stronger fix....I don’t know. For those who have experienced broken pegs and were able to fix....I’m all ears.
    Thanks

    You can use a drill bit - tiny kind- to create a hole in both the peg and stand and insert a metal rod like a portion of paper clip and then secure it in place on both ends with crazy glue / cement. I've done this for small figures where the arms broke at a peg. Good luck.

    Holy. fuck.

    When the fuck are they going to stop making bootlegged versions of toys we already got years ago (and have had thousands minted) and get busy on:

    Bitstream
    Hotlink/Air Warrior Clone
    Acid Storm with a decent paint scheme
    Ion Storm
    Ghost Starscream
    Mid-warp Skywarp
    Nova Storm
    etc. ad nauseum ?!?

    "Hey, Wing, every nerd on Earth has a new-mold Masterpiece Starscream. Do you think we should move on to some of the original characters that have never been made? Nah, you're right: Let's make another thousand..."
