Review: DOTM Deluxe Class Starscream Figure

We've had a couple of Starscreams thrown at us using the Voyager mold. They were less than ideal, especially in robot form. Each mold had it's share of problems. So when a Deluxe version was announced, people were naturally skeptical how they could make the figure work on a smaller scale. This review dives into the Deluxe mold and finds out if smaller does in fact equal better. For the full review, click here.

I agree with this deluxe being superior to the Voyager mold, He is a definite pickup along with his repaint Thundercracker.

 

I also like how in a way it looks like he is wearing a mask.

I might get Thundercracker, but I won't buy Starscream unless there's a repaint in G1 colors. At this point I have no tolerance for the use of beige colored plastic.

This is the best Jetbot jet-former period! This figure is amazing. If you don't have the leader (and that is a hard find right now...pray for ROSS) this is the one to get.

As far as the mech tech thingy...throw it away! It's a piece of crap.

Yeah, doesn't hold its form very well...unless you grab one of your wife's small elastic hair bands (preferably brown), double it up, and slip over the trigger that holds the bottom half of his double bladed sword. :thumb

 

I like this incarnation of Starscream. I'd say there's probably a happy medium between this version and the previous (ROTF)...but either far exceed the first one, and they're not as hard to find a space for as the leader-sized.

I wish we knew if there was going to be a Skywarp repaint. That'd go a long way toward making this figure a get for me.

Regardless, I'm more likely to pick him up after this review.

Got my leader Starscream a week or so ago @ Target for 11 bucks. Was on clearance because the DoTM line had just hit and the only one left. I looked for more everywhere since just to throw on eBay, so I doubt they'll make it to Ross.

 

How exactly is this better than the previous Voyagers? This things looks like scout crap. Not buying it.
