    I can't knock Blizzard for sculpt, articulation nor character. His painted details are crisp, precise and really help the whole package pop. He's an amazing looking robot where posing and play, for the most part, is a joy. My issues lie with tolerances, a couple of which seem restricted to my copy but the core problems seeming endemic. Hands on time with the figure does loosen his ankle stalks up which is half the battle won, but the tabs in his legs and the slot they peg into on the waist remain troublesome every time. It does come together, but it shouldn't be that problematic.

    Blizzard represents another step forward in a line that continues to impress. We're seeing some teething problems as the ambition grows and these do need to be recognised as they move onto even bigger things, but for me, the future of the Legends scaled Transformer remains in very good hands.
