Transformers Prime PRID Voyager Starscream

This was released in Singapore just a few days ago. Not released elsewhere yet. Bot mode is OK, don't like the alt mode. The gaps at the back of the plane is quite bad and you can look through it.
The powerizer weapon is plain silly

I prefer the deluxe version over this

 

Here's Starscream out of the box

Here's a shot of TFP RID Voyager Megatron, Starscream and Bulkhead

Transformers Robots in Disguise Bumblebee vs Starscream Pack

I bought this mainly for the smaller figures that comes with the pack, Leland "Silas" Bishop and a Mech Soldier.
It kinda fits well with the Optimus Prime vs Megatron Entertainment pack where it has the 3 children in Transformers Prime

I'll open this pack soon. If I'm not mistaken, both Bumblebee and Starscream are repaints from the same molds as the First Edition ones. I quite like most of the FE molds vs the RID lines, so I don't mind getting a repeat of these characters. I'm probably not going for the RID Optimus, Cliffjumper, Bumblebee. However, I may get the TakaraTomy versions of some characters if they have a nicer paintjob

Transformers Universe Starscream

Saw a few of these on sale at CSC yesterday and promptly got 2 of them. One to keep MISB and one to open. On comparing with the KO CHMS Ghost Starscream, there are some differences. The fists are more loose on this. The peg holes on the arms are also too big to hold the missile launchers. Had to fix with some Pledge Future Shine.
I find that the arms are a little short for this mold though. But it's a decent representation of G1 Starscream

Interestingly , the missiles do not fit into the KO CHMS Ghost Starscream

Transformers Original and KO Haul This week

So, I've decided to give Taobao a try via a Singapore Agent 65daigou. After trying to get various stuff for a while, got my first shipment in, which consists of 9 items.
1) Leader HFTD Starscream

It's still in the box and I haven't decided if I want to get it out or just keep it in the box
EDIT (18 Jan 2012): I have gotten a 3rd party upgrade set for this Leader

2) KO MP-01 Masterpiece Optimus Prime

 

 

The last pic shows the figure painted with paint marker that the seller has in his store. Also added reprolabels for MP-01 and also some yellow paint detailing. The figure is not bad, one of its oil tanks seems to be pushed out too much by the spring. Haven't found a way to open it to correct it.

The vents on the shin were installed wrongly out from the box. So I had to open it and correct it.

Also stuck the Autobot symbol purchased from the seller as wel.

It comes with a mini Megatron gun and his energon axe as well. The lights in his chest works to light up his removable matrix.

Some joints were loose and I used some Tamiya Extra Thin Cement to tighten the joints.

The silver/black gun that the figure is holding is a separate purchase from another seller who designed it for MP-01.

I also bought and installed magnets to keep the upper torso connected to the lower legs. Doesn't seem to work and the figure holds better if you press the front abdomen grills properly in so that it holds. It's a bit loose still.

I also installed longer smokestacks purchased from yet another seller

It is still missing some silver paint on some areas near the wheel, eg the suspension system and the teeny wheelwell highlight on the front and rear wheels. The chest and bicep area also seems to have a wrong application of white instead of grey on the original.

I have ordered the IGear Ultra Leader, so lets see how that compares

3) KO Sideways

Some transformation has been simplified. Didn't really like the quality of plastics. Roof of the car is transparent blue. It came with the chest piece dislodged. Maybe will search for the original Sideways. However, I already have Deadend, which is the same mold

4) KO Human Alliance Barricade

A bit disappointed in the figure. One of its arms came broken. The plastic is really hard and feels brittle. So I don't think it can last. Initially, wanted to get this and keep my original HA Barricade in box. Looks like I may open it afterall. Should I try for another KO HA Barricade and hope that it comes out better?
