    Hmm. Not bad at all. I dread to think how much he'll be in the UK though.
    They have nowhere near as much articulation as a Joe. I don't see any joints in the arms, or a mid torso joint, or ankles, let alone anything else.

    What a fantastic solid looking little figure. And not overboard with the movie aesthetic either. Just a head mold and redeco change away from being Classics Beachcomber.

    The HA "mech" mode is stupid and silly, but bot and vehicle modes make up for that.

    Bought, but will never be TFed into a giant walking toilet.

    No helicopter mode for Sandstorm? :( 

    Still don't like the tank-mode of Warpath but the robot mode is awesome!

    Sandstorm went from a "maybe" to a "definite buy." He looks like a really cool little toy. His human companion will join the rest of the HA humans in oblivion, though.

    wish the roll cage actually attached to something in the front of the vehicle mode, just kinda sits there. Just some clip point in the front to hold the bars in place would have been really welcome.

    Other than that he looks nice. Really like the robot mode, and more humans are always welcome, though I wish they hadn't taken away the mid-torso swivel that was on the original sam figure.

    He looks pretty badass! I can't wait to pick him up. I really like the riding mech mode Sandstorm has.

    This is about the only one of these HA basics that looks any good to me so far. I'll probably skip this line.

    The first time I saw Sandstorm, it totally is 100% perfect for a classics Beachcomber, just put on a new head, paint it and there you go. I gotta get me one.

    If the build's the same as the RotF HA figures, then they at least have a mid-torso joint. But no double-axis elbow joints, or ankles.

    they took out the mid-torso joint after the first couple of figures and these don't have them either, which is unfortunate.

    Don't like these guys too much so far...however this guy seems to have a really awesome robot mode. There's a chance he could wind up being my one representative from this line. If he makes a good weapon mode for Leader Ironhide (they all have weapon modes like Whirl right?) he's even more intriguing.
