First up - I'm a Transformers fan. Always
have been, always will be. So accept my bias here and take the review
for what it is - the rantings of a very happy man.
So what's lifted me from my
usual somber mood? Well, my childhood hero has been released in a
detailed and cartoon accurate PVC form, and, ladies and gentlemen,
he's the mutts nuts.
Standing at 4.5", he's
wonderfully realised - exactly as he appeared in the cartoon series,
with fully 12 points of articulation and a variety of extra hands
and guns so that you can recreate those classic TV moments...
There are 2 versions of this figure, TV and Metallic. I plumped for
metallic, which is the version that comes with Megatron in gun form
(very tasty, but I prefer my Prime holding his classic piece). The
TV version comes with his laser axe and the matrix. Both figures are
identical in terms of the basic figure, but I prefer the deeper and
more realistic metallic version myself.
The figure can vary, and mostly comes as a two pack (both Metal and
TV versions) and can range from $30 - $45. I picked up my single Prime
for $23.50 (with free shipping at the time), and you can find more
at
Dave's World, which is
a great website for Transformers fans.
Okay, its essentially a larger version of the pewter figures, but
its a great figure, and anyone who remembers the character will adore
this depiction, which is without doubt the best physical depiction
of the character ever. A gem, and with more to come (Megatron is next),
the G1 comic on its way back thanks to Dreamwave
and a whole bunch of original toy re-releases, its never been a better
time to buy bots...
10/10 - like you had to ask?
