Masterpiece Acid Storm

Well, here it is,  Finally arrived....another Starscream....er, Seeker...damn, I mean Acid Storm.

I have also included the list of all the previous Seeker molds that have come before Acid Storm. to date, I only have Takara's Coronation Starscream, and Hasbro's Thundercracker and Acid Storm. We'll see how things progress if I end up getting the other ones.  Anyway, enjoy the read and the pics.

MP-01 Acid Storm is a green and black redeco of the MP-11 Starscream and is sold as a Toys R Us Exclusive.  His designation of "MP-01" falls in under a new Masterpiece toy line designed for the international market.

The Transformers Masterpiece is a secondary branch of the Transformers line made by Hasbro/Takara Tomy.  They are recreations of specific characters, either famous or from key scenes.  The MP's are significantly larger than their originals, with more detail, more complex transformation processes, and with more posability, while maintaining the integrity of their original visage.




A nice new packaging display

The first Seeker mold (MP-03) released back in 2006 was of course, Starscream.  He comes included with the following:

Feels Like a Masterpiece of A Storm Is Coming ......Maybe An Acid Storm ?

Looks like I should be receiving Masterpiece Acid Storm sometime today.  I'll keep you guys posted.  I do hope that this will be the last MP made with this mold.  I have watched a few reviews on it and one guy felt that there may be some degradation with it but that may just be his opinion.

I think most people that are into the MP line would love to see the coneheads and I'm sure that since they can get three figures out of it they'll pump it out somehow.

It seems that the Masterpiece figures are the new bread and butter winners for Hasbro; Transformers wise anyway.

Barring an un-forseen delivery mishaps, I will do a unboxing shoot today or tomorrow.
