Site sponsor BigBadToyStore has reduced the price on Takara's MP-11S Masterpiece Sunstorm from $219.99 to $179.99! Click here for the pre-order. The figure is estimated to arrive in August.

Special Preorder - Price Cut! We've reduced all existing preorders from $219.99 to $179.99 - preorder yours now at $179.99 while stock remains.

This set should include the Coronation kit found on MP-11 Starscream and also feature the Seeker mold modifcations. This version may not come with the collectible coin.

MP-11S Masterpiece Sunstorm measures 13” long in jet mode and 10” high in robot mode. Extensively articulated, the figure is equipped with arm-mounted removable guns, and should be accompanied by decals, missile accessories, and a missile-rack display base configured to support both robot and jet modes; presumably this version will include the same switch-between facial expression feature found in Masterpiece Starscream.

A flaw in the manufacture of Sunstorm’s fusion reactor provides him with the approximation of a transcendent glow, simultaneously causing him to emit terrific heat and electromagnetic waves which damage the internal systems of any fellow Decepticons within his vicinity. Barring the installation of elaborate shielding to contain his corrosive emissions, Sunstorm frequently works alone, and this solitude ostensibly fuels his conviction that he, Sunstorm, is in fact a supernatural being; when in the presence of others his professed supernatural status and subsequent pontifications only succeed in further alienating his teammates. Sunstorm reaches an atmospheric speed of 2400 km/h and 16000 km/h in outer space.

Considering it's an exclusive to Amazon Japan and the shipping costs to BBTS, I can't agree with your assessment. Unless there are several sitting in stock a year after the release.

I just put in a pre-order with another retailer last night to get this figure (with shipping comes to about $182), but would've went with Big Bad had they made this call sooner. This is the right price I'm willing to pay, knowing that shipping fees to America would prohibit further price reductions.

I must say the little yellow goblin has grown on me. Still, I'll be dealing with Robotkingdom, they've had him on pre-order at a constant price of $160.

I am really impressed with the quality and mold of MP-11 Starscream. I have all the seekers and this MP-11 is by far the best in my opinion. If Sunstorm is the same, I may get it.

Curious how it will get the extra face? there isn't any space in MP11's head to turn the face because of the springs.

Idk but I read it not sure if it was the bbts news letter they sent me or if it was on here but I read it that's one of the main reasons I'm interested in getting it because of the face and the stand

I hate to burst people's bubbles but BBTS says:

MP-11S Masterpiece Sunstorm measures 13” long in jet mode and 10” high in robot mode. Extensively articulated, the figure is equipped with arm-mounted removable guns, and should be accompanied by decals, missile accessories, and a missile-rack display base configured to support both robot and jet modes; presumably this version will include the same switch-between facial expression feature found in Masterpiece Starscream.

MP-11 Starscream sadly only has one face. Unless they plan to use the head from MP-03 I can't see how it's going to work.

I know I own both mp-11 and mp-3 and looking at booth the heads I think they could do it. Now the real question is are they doing it or is this just a misprint on BBTS half
