Via Tag Hobby we have a look at part of the original design sketch of the upcoming Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece G1 Starscream Ver. 2.0 which was published in the Figure King #270 Magazine.
This new updated Masterpiece Starscream mold was hinted some time ago and now we have a proper confirmation of its release. The image shows Starscream’s torso revealing some very obvious improvements to the body proportions and cartoon accuracy details compared to the previous Masterpiece Starscream mold.
Update: Full body (front, back & side) sketches via TFND Facebook.
It seems we may see more pictures in the next Figure King issue, so stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates.

This latest incident has been on my mind all day. I didn’t see what transpired, but I know I’ve seen situations just like it here too many times. TFW used to be a fun place, and now there’s too much division and unnecessary vitriol that continually derails threads like this one.
I usually overlook it but lately it’s been making participating in the MP threads here much less appealing.
I’ve seen this kind of interaction drive away too many good members of this board, people who bring fun and enjoyment into discussions about this hobby we share.
The digibashes that @chchchch contributes here have been a huge part of what enjoyment is left. If what happened is enough to drive him and the others quoted here away, then I’m not far behind.
I don’t care if people here prefer unlicensed imitation products to official, whatever one’s preference is no excuse to be uncivil with each other.
Enjoy what’s left, if anyone still knows how.
Peace,
X

Y’all can see why I don’t post much, lol. Good thing we have @chchchch on other social media platforms!

Ah thanks. I probably also need to be less reliant on auto settings when taking the picture to give myself a better starting point, but I'll keep playing around with different adjustments afterwards to get better results. I've got a lot to learn though, I had to look up what luma is, I know so little about photography and lighting

Let’s try this again… I’m out too man.

I can't get over how silly people are about figure wars lol. If you like something or don't, who cares? It's as absurd as gamers with console wars

I love my MP 52. Would not trade it for anything else.
Would not get anything else on top of it either. The definitive Starscream.

The darks needed to be way darker in the original photo. You can fix it by cutting the jet out from the background, then editing the background separately. I used shadow/highlight to iron out most of the luma differences in the background, then just darkened the gamma overall. See the attached PS file for details.

Sweet. I bet I can do something cool with that. Then I'll send you the PS file and give you an idea how post tricks are done.

That made me laugh more than it should.

That might be a pretty good source picture. Can you post the unedited full-size original?
