    Hmm, I think MP-11 is quite messy looking. Outside having a thinner profile, I can’t see why one would prefer the aesthetics of MP-11 over MP-52. Now Maketoys Meteor vs MP-52 I could see some things people might prefer with Meteor.

    IDK, I really don’t think MP-11 was really a great representation of Starscream. It was just decent stand in material until something more accurate came along.

    I got mine from ae despite the trouble I had getting a refund for hound, and covid, and Brexit and fluctuating currency markets because I have BALLS OF STEEL/am stupid.

    This thing really needs to have the designation of MP52 Second in command and future leader of the decepticons.

    I love how MP11 looked but then I saw MT seekers and realised how ugly MP11 was, but MP52 looks like they got MT seekers and made them look 10 times better somehow

    Indeed, in fact before MP-52 was a thing I was hoping to see some 3rd party company take those New Age figures and oversized for MP scale.

    I still wouldn't mind an oversized version of the Newage seekers.
    Firstly, they could do full sized wings with the flaps like a proper jet.
    Also at that scale they could thin out the rear wings and also make covers for the inner calves to hide the wings inside them properly !!
    Easily doable with today's tech. Also they could add ab-crunch like Meteor and you'd have an awesome looking seeker mold.

    The only real issue with this guy is his thighs, while looking great front on, are ridiculously thin from almost every other angle !!

    Congrats guys, for those of us who ordered with AmJp, we’re locked in - no cancellations. Nothing to do but wait 6 months and hope for our currency to stay strong and maybe the global delivery situation reverts back to normal. On the positive side AmJp will cover any QC issues if they arise. Also, last day to order from places like AE and HasbroPulse and others.

    Well that's surprised me! At what time in Japan did they lock that in? It certainly wasn't midnight into Sunday morning. I thought once that time passed it was inevitably going to be last thing tonight Japanese time. That's really quite strange...

    I was under a similar impression.

    Apparently MP 11 was a retool (version 1.5).

    Based on what a previous board member posted.

    Honestly can’t see much that could be improved to warrant a 3.0 in the future.

    3.0 will be so Animation accurate that every time you pose him he will replicate animation errors.

    AmJp listed 10/25 as the last cancel date but Japan and maybe New Zealand are one of the first countries to cross the international date line. Plus, I’m not sure if they cut off at the beginning of the day or the end. Regardless, my earlier post suggested we be mindful of its approach and should decide by Friday. There are some tricks to get out of the cancellation if anyone really wants to.

    Pretty much the same for Megatron for me. His only downside is the ugly kibble on his back, and even then it's pretty minor.

    As much as I want certain figures to be updated, not everyone needs it. We need new molds as well. ;p

    I was alluding to the line moving in to combiners and triple changers.

    But either way, still glad they revisited Starscream. I have been waiting to start collecting Seekers

    @Sam put me up to splicing MP-52 into @TCracker's beautiful Decepticon group shot...though of course he would have transformed, posed, and lit it properly :)
