This past weekend I was able to put some floor polish in the loose joints and do the shoulder slider joint flip and can honestly say that this is a fun toy. I’ve owned this figure since January and have messed with it here and there but the loose tolerances really impeded my enjoyment. Now I did own one or two variants of the Star Saber minicon set, and when I lay the Saber down on the back of Starscream where Swindle "would" attach - the red portion of the cannon assembly that folds down to be the back support - per my "Mk I eyeball" test, it looks like the minicons of the Star Saber are done "in scale" to the current Voyager size-class. I'll catch onto it sooner or laterĪs far as the accessories go, the "wing" sword seems to be about twice the length of the toy's wing, which is about what I thought it should be - then I really took a good look at the pics of the Armada one and saw that it's a 3-piece (2 hinge) design.Īnd I'll quick-address the thoughts on the mini-con port and the Star Saber - the comparison pics I've seen posted online shows Legacy Starscream to be about 75% of the size of the original, so any/all minicons would have to be scaled down to match, and it would make them compartatively tiny. Still getting used to the assembly between the legs in jet mode, it's not "intuitive" to me. Otherwise tight enough but not too tight. Got one of the 'luckier" figures in that mine's waist is loose, and the nose/fuselage assembly doesn't like to tab into the body. Having never owned Armada Starscream back in the day.
