New third party company PPL Toys have revealed, via their Weibo account, renders of their new PPL-02 Combat Aircraft (G1 Starscream Model Kit).
This is an easy-to-assembly non transformable model kit. Al pieces come pre-painted and they are snap-on parts so any glue is needed to assemble it. The renders show a very cartoon-accurate G1 Starscream with several extra accessories like his coronation parts, a G1 Megatron gun, fire blast effects and a wide range of poseability. This figure should be the 13 cm tall like their PPL-01 Op Warrior (G1 Optimus Prime Model Kit). The Megatron gun is compatible with this model kit too.

A third party model kit? Looks very neat! I know these have kind of existed for a little while now but it\'s always neat to see more.

Hmm, well I definitely want that prime, and a megatron if they make one, and my absolute favorite Soundwave!

ShowZ has both the prime and this listed at 12.8cm aka 5" .. this could just be speculation on their part but they're usually pretty good when I comes down to size details on their listings

Looking at how small Starscream's head looks on Optimus, I'm gonna' go ahead and predict that he's at least a little shorter than Prime.
Wh33ls
Yeah, I didn't see any size mentioned. It's fine, I'm just be cautiously optimistic.
EDIT: Changed "did" to "didn't". I did not see any size.

I don't think we know the official size of Starscream yet. Doesn't look like the original post on Weibo said anything about it.
Wh33ls
Wait, will he be the same size of Prime? I mean, it's not a deal breaker, I just won't buy those characters if they are too big. I don't know, it'll have to be on a case by case situation.

Very impressive. I'm not that big of a fan of G1 Starscream so I don't think I'll pick this up but it's encouraging to see that this will become an entire series of figures.
I wonder if they'll try to create a scale with these or if every figure will be around 13 cm
Wh33ls
Here I am just salvating over the potential of painting up their Prime, and now they have a Starscream too?!
I'm all in, baby!

I agree. This is how I thought Takara should have done the waist swivel on MP Starscream. First got the basic idea from Siege Jetfire
Huub
Same boat… I'm tempted, this Starscream looks good, just like their Prime (pre ordered as well).
I'm liking the non transformable model kit aspect of these figures and the kind of low pricing.
Looking forward to some colored pics.

Looks good, i wouldnt mind doing a few models but lets see a combiner not named bruticus to go with PPL 02 and im in

Really looking forward to it, I was impressed enough with the video of their Prime to order a couple of kits, glad to see they're doing more.

They seem to be making better RED figures.
Snaku
Looks good and I especially like how they managed the waist swivel. Not sure if I'm in for this. Not looking to start a new collection. I pre-ordered Optimus cuz I'm a sucker for Optimus and I buy pretty much every good looking version of him. Still, I do like how it looks so I'm a little tempted.
Maximus Danz
Their Prime looked good.
They definitely have my attention now.
Nemesis Compactor
Hmm, should reserve judgment for colours, but I think it might have a better overall sculpt than the most recent offering.
