Is it the same toy?

 

I'm assuming you're talking about MP-M01 Starscream, and not MP-03. In which case, yes, they're the same basic toy. The MP version is based on the Movie 1 deco, though, and features many more paint details. The Leader version instead has the RotF "tattoos".

Hope this helps?

 

Yes, I meant the movie version. So the only diff is the paint details?

 

yep. and the price tag.

 

Pretty much. The paint is way more accurate to an F-22. I tihnk there's like a $40 in price. Or was it $60?

 

BBTS has the MP version at $99.99 so closer to $60.

I am holding out hope that Hasbro will eventually release Leader SS with a paint scheme closer to the Takara MP version down the road.
