A bigger bomb

Holy Trailers! Batman!

I saw the 1st in 3D in the cinema and was blown away since it was filmed to be in 3D. I still enjoy it overall in 2D too. This sequel, just feels like the same of the 1st, just moved the plot away into the ocean now. i.e. Navi happy, humans come back, want unatainium or whataver , big fight, Navii win, queue Avater 3. Will probably still watch it but hope it brings something new.

Congrats! Definitely a great set of Seekers to own.

How did you get your Skywarp so quickly? I'm still waiting for my pre-order to be fulfilled.

I managed to snag one from Mandarake after release. I'm based in UK and shipping is pretty quick from there for me. I missed out on pre-orders so paid a bit more for it. I wanted to how Starscream turned out before jumping. Hope yours come soon.

Hikaru decided he had enough of VFs and took Thundercracker for a spin.

quick question for folks who have the VF 1D. Does the cockpit instrument panel come off easy? I was checking mine, put Hikaru inside cockpit and notified the black block of the instruments moved. Pulled and whole thing came off. It's not broken or anything maybe a case of missing glue or something. It slides in time and is ok. Just curious if this is a common thing?

Loving the MP seekers managed to get a full squad and my first time having all 3 

so for the curious....

this looks like the redirect is being done on the DNS records via a redirect.

shows gandi.net as registrar?

this record:

and boom.

based on reddit post below - probably on purpose?

very strange though.

so managed to get around to unboxing MP-53 Skids and thought the collector card was thicker than normal then realised I had two in the box! Has anyone else ever gotten 2 of the same thing in a box? This happend with my SS86 Sweeps. It had two instructions in the box. just interesting.

I think most (all) Transformers since Siege (maybe before?) have a little port for a stand.  Thing is, aside from the little one that came with Studio Series RotF Soundwave they don't really mention it, and Hasbro doesn't seem to sell any official stands, so I never really bring it up in my reviews.

It's good to know that the Tamashii ones work, but I really wish Hasbro would release something official.

 

EDIT: Victory Saber's just under a 1000 to the V-lock cannon, with a little under a week to go.  Not sure when the retailers put their orders in, but as it stands I'm guessing we get the cannon, the stand is iffy, and I'm not counting on the shield and Micromasters.

The Hasbro Pulse Youtube channel has an interview up with Hisashi Yuki, the designer for both MP Star Saber and the Haslab one.  While I'm sure there's lots of interesting tidbits in that interview (haven't watched it yet, maybe after I pick my daughter up from school), one thing that caught my attention is the size.  You can clearly see Haslab Star Saber is about a head shorter than the MP, and Yuki says that the combined Victory Saber will be as tall as MP Star Saber.  So... anyone with a couple of different size WfC/SS86 figures and MP Star Saber want to put up some pics for size comparisons?

Ya seems a lacking thing tbh - an official stand accessory would be awesome! indeed. Love the reviews btw keep em coming.

RE: VS - I've backed him but kinda wondering if even the 1st stretch goal would be reached. tbh it would be great with all the extras. Though I'm on the fence if it doesn't. Guess will see. Oh interesting, I will have to watch that as think I missed that one. Cheers.

So, I was looking at some Tamashi Stage Act stands I have for some Bandai HMR Valks and noticed the stand seems like 5mm plug. Looked at the Studio Series '86 figures on the shelf, Hot Rod / Jazz and see they have a port could be useful for a stand. Tried it out and surprisingly seems to fit, not sure exact size, but doesn't seem to big or small.

Anyway thought was interesting.

Just for fun another top down top shot comparison with G1 (Encore) Starscream, MP-52, and MP-11 Starscream.

On a side note hearing about cracks I checked the same joint under the feet and I can see some stress marks on mine and I haven't even transformed it yet doh. In the middle the dark grey peg above the blue, can see bit stress white mark.

Welp!

Thought my copy didn't have any, but i thought wrong.

Finally found a crack with my copy when I transformed him to bot-mode and I was wondering why the right-foot was a bit looser than the left-foot afterwards:

I had to really do some zooming to even get to see it, but there it is.

Quite a hairline, but doesn't really affect much of anything.  Decided to leave it alone for now, but I may fill it up with some cement or something.

Oh, well. Bonus pictar!

😝

 

damn sorry hear about the hairline crack. Hopefully it's OK, just checked mine and out the box I noticed some stress marks that area sigh.

is it me or are the wings WAY too small for the width of the fueselage?  just noticed it from this angle.

hadn't noticed it might be the photo itself. I need check and compare with my MP11

MP Starscream 2.0 just arrived for me from AJP. All in all looks fine  and box not crushed and no cracks etc. He seems pretty cool to me and pretty swooshible. I agree that under carriage kibble that hides canopy seems kinda out place but not big deal to me.

Quick top down pic to add to the other pics.

This is kinda slow video - but shows of the MP 2.0 Screamer transformation, etc, video by Takara
