    Grrr. Mine came to day and it had a mess of paint apps. Scratched paint everywhere and the white parts on the hood don't line up at all.

    The ball joint housing on the right door is stressed and the right passenger window won't stay flush against the car in alt mode either.

    It literally feels like someone in the factory dropped it and packaged it anyways.

    :(

    Those are some great pics, but I think I'm gonna paint his head ornament silver to give it just a little extra G1 feel to it. Don't really have the skills or paint experience to paint him a better blue, but he looks great otherwise. Can't wait to get him.

    I'd say the advantages Drift has over Blurr are the big sword that can helpfully disguise itself as a tailpipe in car mode, and much cleaner paint apps overall. Other than that I think Blurr is a significant step up. Good headsculpt and awesome weapons. I just wish his head could move around more.

    Not sure if IDW Blurr ever has an earth mode somewhere else during the run, but in the beginning of the Ongoing he had an earth sports car mode..right? For like one or two panels :p

    My blurr just came in from BBTS. Beautiful. I also alter the shoulder transformation where the the hood halves arent sticking out like drifts, they are pressed against his skinny arms. I also keep the doors on the sides. Im glad this mold is very posable enough to make the the two character slightly different enough. Now Blurr goes from fast talking loud babbling idiot to fast talking loud babbling dude with a BFG. Sweet.

    He apparently moved too fast for your camera to capture. :p

    Can a comrade with a bad paint app give a pictorial example so we can see how bad it is?

    The only drawback on this one for me is the paint as some of you already described. I did take the precaution of coating it with Future just to be on the safe side. Mine certainly isn't the mess that others have said, though.

    I really feel that everyone here has covered his awesomeness better than I have. I can say that I REALLY enjoy this one a lot. :)

    Same problem with the paint. Figure is great but I'm also not getting the Blurr vibe from the repaint. I hope this doesn't mean more 'partial' repaints from Hasbro i.e. Wheeljack from Tracks.

    Is the paint chipping or rubbing off, or is it a case of bad repaints?

    I'm having no problems on the paint with mine (was one of my fears from having to order it online).

    The white stripe on the hood feels reminiscent to the white paint used on Universe 2.0 Prowl. Mine was okay, but out of the package it had very tiny pinhole sized chips (barely noticeable, not a huge issue for me) of paint missing.

    As far as this feeling like "Blurr", it's VERY much IDW Blurr, but not necessarily G1 Blurr, aside from what IDW tried to do design-wise to keep their updated design Geewuny :)
