Generations FOC DLX Starscream

Just to get the ball rolling...

PROS

-a new Starscream, dammit! (I'm a Starscream completist)
-headsculpt (and wicked light piping for the eyes)
-multiple weapon mounting options
-weapons can combine
-spinning barrels on the weapons
-clear canopy (could have been lazily painted)
-ankle tilt
-gerwalk mode

CONS

-on the small side
-feels and looks a bit cheap
-somewhat lazy transformation
-so-so paint job (some blue missing on one of the feet)
-floating shoulders

Re: Generations FOC DLX Starscream

It does look like it is lacking... something. I'm not sure what, but something.

I'll still grab it because I likes me some Decepticon jets.

Re: Generations FOC DLX Starscream

Good review and pics! I am stoked for this Starscream as I don't have a proper classics Screamer yet. How do you find his split weapons? I am worried that they will look awkward on his arms because they are essentially only make up half a gun for each arm.

I think it is the Grey colour which makes it looks like an unfinished product.

Re: Generations FOC DLX Starscream

The legs aren't too defined either. Pretty blocky figure.

They're ok if you keep the inner portion down/in so you don't see it.

I'm thinking it's just the general lack of paint apps. None on the shoulders is what really jumps out at me. Still want this thing like a mother fucker though...

I like him but I want the whole line so I must have him. Hopefully (fingers crossed) I find him and others in Pennsylvania in 4 hours

He's not out in the US yet, only in Asia and Australia I think.
