    What a fucking comeback maketoys! Couldn’t have made a better reminder that you’re still making these. And it does look really nice. The face expressions are all great and clear. The colours are on point. And dirge is my favourite conehead. Heck yeah.
    Ooh good question. I really like what they did with this canopy here. Looks super slick. But that looks even lighter.

    I am in on their Dirge but I hope the QC will be good to great. If you look at the photos, you'll see the back not pegging in well in alt mode. WTF MT?

    Hopefully these sell well so they'll finally get to the real business of Highbrow and Brainstorm.

    Well, i get why many will like these and it's good they managed to improve the neck articulation. Wonder if some parts will still be extra thin and brittle. Having trouble parting with my Yes Model MP11 seekers w KFC hands, they were such a good deal and look good enough for second tier characters. I think fully articulated hands would have helped push me over to a purchase.

    Wow, he looks stunning enough that I may just have to buy all three coneheads from MT on top of my TT set!

    Among other things, the faces look especially good. I wish they put out updated faces for the original seeker trio. :(

    Been a Maketoys fan since their Giant release. Passed on the Meteor mould because I truly believe TT will update SS and the other seekers. The Cone heads are unique enough from the original seekers and I dislike the MP 11 mould enough that I think this is the perfect match for me. Love the face sculpt as well.

    Yeah, I wish my Starscream one had cool alt faces like that.
    Looks great on the conehead.

    Not worried about these, by the end of the year, those who want them will have them. The bigger question is what is next MP scale release?

    Seekers V3. Just because ;) 

    Seriously, this year will be another "Seeker/Conehead" year for Maketoys. You can almost smell their TFCon Fall 2019 exclusive i.e. G2 Ramjet. Other than that, they'll do Cross Dimension Galvatron and that's pretty much it for the year..

    Instead of an add-on kit for missing seeker wingbacks, how about an add-on kit for better articulated fingers/wrists.

    How about just having them as part of the basic package?

    Yep, and I missed out on it. Hopefully, he gets a normal release as well.
