Toys : TRANSFORMER Starscream - G1

In association with Amazon.com

- Similar to the classic toy
My son is really into the G1 Transformers and Starscream is one of his favorites. It's hard finding the classic looking Starscream, so I was excited to find it here on Amazon. Similar to the classic model, but the only drawback is that the wings don't fit firmly into the body of the jet. It's almost that the pegs on the wings are a bit too long and leave too much of a gap making it look odd in jet mode. Other than that, it's still a great toy to have.

- fairly ok, some issues
First of all I'd like to say that I am a big fan of these toys. I absolutely love transformers, I mean G1. those are for me the REAL transformers and the toys I grew up with (sort of, since I only owned a few ones). Of all the characters Starscream was for some unknown reason my favourite. This is a fine looking toy but it has some issues that I'd like to mention since they are differences from the original one as well. 1. The first one, and it's a biggie to me, CANOPY IS NOT TINTED AS THE ORIGINAL, instead is a very clear color which I personally don't like very much. 2. I think the decepticon symbols on his wings and nose shouldn't be painted, we can use the stickers but the painted logos will remain visible (the upper edges) 3. seems like he suffers from looseness in some areas (arms especially) 4.he has a -not so good- paint job or maybe the quality of the paint is below average, as a result his paint gets chipped in no time... I have a Wheeljack from 1984 and his paint seems a lot more resistant than screamer's. overall a good toy but with a little attention to small details it could have been great
