KO Toys does it again with new images of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Voyager Starscream action figure out of the box. If you thought the colors were bright in the box, you're gonna be in for a bit of jolt. They are even more garish out of the packaging. See the KMart exclusive in robot and jet modes as well as in comparison with the stock Voyager Starsceam model.

Nope. How can I can tell from an in box picture and the Photoshopped pictures on the back of the box? These new pictures are well lit and thorough.

"This is definately an interesting offering and its not only silly, but kind of hilarious that Transforming robot would have tattos. I guess beingable to change you form is just so passe in the Universe these days." ~ primus
um.. i think from now on we should call them cybertronian markings.. not tattoos.. i mean.. with G1 starscream no one called the red and white lines tattoos.. they're markings.. almost every single transformer in the movie has cybertronian markings.. starscream just decided to have more of them..
and.. the metallic green is the best part of the figure.. that's what makes it interesting.

They're tattoos. In fact, they look more like the intricate, traditional tattoos of the Maori people than anything else.

how can you tell?.. um by looking lol.
these are the older pictures that we saw
VERY VERY CLEARLY not black.. not only can you tell by looking at the body color.. but you can tell by looking at the body color next to the black that is in his chest, guns, hands, and knees.

Looks like black to me. In the box it does look like a glat black color that is maybe close to dark gray. It's certainly not the brown color I see in the new pictures.

FYI. These kinds of repaints and store exclusives are handled by a separate group. From what I understand, its the retailers who choose the repaints. Whatever the logic is behind this color scheme, it may be KMart are the ones to blame for the selection.

At first I thought this repaint looked weird, but I have to admit it's growing on me and now I really like it.

Not to beat a dead horse, but id does look charcoal grey which is pretty close to balck.
I also like the idea of calling these markings. A design besides a logo has never been uncommon, and it seems like a Starscream type thing to want the biggest boldest ones
I am gonna pass on this though. While the figure does have alot of great merits, one is enough for my shelves.

i have a good thought once in a while. lol.
i understand why people don't like this.. it seems like kmart is just begging to go out of business.. a bunch in my area have closed in the past two years.. there are only two left.

Maybe well see a Nubular Starscream leader deco? Im pretty sure im gonna wait to see what else Hasbro comes up with for the redeco of the leader Screamer .. well maybe. I DO love this deco though, i just think Kmart is getting jipped if they come out with a Leader SS in same deco nation wide.
Anyways, i LOVE the andes mint look.

Whip-Crack:- She was known as one of the darkest most sickeningly evil decepticons EVER, that was till she arrived on Earth. She saw a man who went by the name of Galloway. He was talking on his mobile phone in his back garden saying "You know what this place would be great with? A Giant Redwood!" she was smitten with him on the spot. All of her Decepticon computers came on-line to find him his "redwood". It took her a day to find one with a bark colour similar to the paint on his kitchen walls.. He was in his garden enjoying a nice glass of 80yr old Champagne as a treat for finally telling those stupid aliens just what he thought of their Autobot selves... *B A N G * An explosion occurs in the middle of his lake's island, looking up he got the shock of his life. A tree was being pursued from a great height by a dark F-22 with glowing markings, the robot transformed and planted the tree perfectly. She scooped mud from the bottom of the lake and filled the base of the tree and professed her undying love-at-first-sight for the man... He ran screaming, ""ooh I like it when men play hard to get"" she thought....
