- Love Starscream? You need this!
If you're a die-hard Transformers fan, you definitely need this version of the G1 Starscream. He's highly articulated and super detailed, both in robot and jet modes. The interchangable faces are a great touch - the smirking face is in-character and absolutely priceless.
I would caution parents who are thinking of buying this for their child - this is a piece meant for display, and will NOT stand up to hard play. I had a small piece pop off into my hand while I was adjusting him on the display stand. It wasn't broken, and it snapped right back into its socket, but let that be a word of warning.
For the older collector who's been waiting for this version of Starscream to come to America, don't hesitate. He's a bit pricey (do take the time to shop around for the best price), but totally worth it. I can't help but grin every time I see him standing there with his trademark self-satisfied smirk. He's satisfied my toy-buying urge for quite awhile.

- This toy is more for the collectors
I bought this because my son wanted it for his collection. He is a big transformers fan and this piece is very nice, but more for the older collectors.

- Starscream Rocks!
I have ordered this toy for my son and it is spectacular for those young transformer enthusiasts. Great transformations and the look of the classic I remember when I was a kid. This piece is great for play and for a collector piece. For my son it is both!

- Starscream dons his classic colors
Masterpiece Starscream is back and looking great in his original 1980's color scheme. Starcream is priced at $48.00 dollars, which isn't cheap but is much less expensive than paying hundreds of dollars more for the Japanese version. I would not consider purchasing this if you are looking for a toy because Starscream is fragile. This Starscream was meant more as a display piece for adult fans rather than a durable toy. While Starscream is fragile he is a amazing looking figure. Starscream has great paint detail and very nice articulated hands and joints. This Starscream also has the ability to switch his facial expression by doing a quick and simple transformation. Starscream's null-ray cannons do not fire, but they make Starscream look very menacing. Starsrcream's robot mode is very nice but my personal favorite is his jet mode. Starscream looks sharp as the mighty American F-15 Eagle fighter jet. The realism and detail put into Starscream's jet mode is very beautiful. Starscream looks more like a highly detailed fighter jet model than a transformer. Starscream comes with some really nice built in landing gear if you want to display him parked. Hasbro also includes a really nice stand to use to display Starscream in jet mode. You can also use the stand to display Starscream in robot mode as well. Starscream's stand holds his extra missiles and is emblazoned with the purple Decepticon logo. If you are a fan of the original 1980's Decepticons you will like this figure. Please just don't pay more than retail to buy him.
