Transformers Toys Studio Series Voyager War for Cybertron 06 Gamer Edition Starscream, 6.5-inch Converting Action Figure, 8+

Pretty cool figure. Fun transformation

He's a good figure, but just not 100% there. The joints are odd, you think they're going to break while transforming, but they don't (yet). The weaponry is OK, wish there was a way to store the arm when in robot mode and using cannon. The finished jet looks incomplete....I guess it's game accurate, but not really great in execution. There are 2 neck/shoulder pieces in paper bag in box-don't forget to attach them!

Pros:-Voyager Class-sized-Comes with two accessories-Paint apps are niceCons:-Rubbery plastic for the nosecone, the cockpit window, the backpack, and all of it flexes and feels awful-Things don't want to tab in or stay tabbed in-Legs are very difficult to transform due to how tightly they tab inFinal thoughts:Gamer Edition is a stain on the Studio Series line. It's gotten progressively worse as it goes on. Prime was okay, Megatron was honestly kind of hot garbage, but barely passable. Bumblebee was somewhere in between, but slightly better than Megatron. Starscream is the bottom of the mop bucket by comparison. (I didn't even bother with Barricade, he looks terrible.)You can tell the budget was cut on this guy, and I can't figure out why. There's no point in making him if you're going to half@$$ it. Whole @$$ it or not at all. His instructions are a nightmare and you have to figure out the rest on your own and you're still not sure whether or not you actually got it figured out. You just have to hope.I've been at this 40 years, I prefer to use the instructions so I don't break my personal investment in my joy. At the price these things go for, I want to make sure they're kept pristine for as long as possible. So, when the instructions led me to wanting to throw the figure in the box and return it, I knew something wasn't right. Handed the sheet and the figure to my wife and let her have a go in trying to figure it out. She said it wasn't me. She was just as frustrated and felt the figure was needlessly messy. (She's 100% right.)On top of that, he's not even game model accurate. Honestly? If you can get the original WFC Deluxe from 2010 or whatever, you're better off doing that. If you want a bigger figure, and the extra accessories, then this guy is for you. I personally can't really recommend him, I'm just unhappy with the figure, the experience, the overall everything with this one.If you love it, more power to you. Please don't let me rain on your parade. If you're on the fence, it's your money so you should use it as you see fit, don't let me sway you one way or another. (I'm swayed toward the "no" camp.)I only gave him 3 stars because it Transforms, and it comes with both accessories. (The mace, however, is painted rubber plastic and the spikes are bent, so I'm actually leaning towards 2.5 but that's not possible on here, sadly.)

Figure plays and looks great in person. Has a very hefty feel to the overall figure and the alt-mode is superb. Only issue I had was, my copy came missing the silver paint apps on its right arm. Hopefully my replacement won't have the same issue.

This figure is not as bad as the initial images made it look, but it still feels rather unpolished for what it should be.
