I haven't really been following, but are the bike sisters that are packed with HA Skids/Mudflap completely new molds or repacked deluxes with inverted paint schemes?
That Chromia looks awesome, and sadly that's all I want from the set. Oh well, Junkion Exchange will fix that!
That "ChromiArcee" actually pulls off the Arcee model's transformation better at a basic level then the Deluxe did. That's actually kind of both impressive and disappointing. Why doesn't the deluxe look like that?
Not quite as nice as skids, (of course that might be Michael Bay's fault)- but very nice- I'll definitely be getting him to complete the pair. How did I end up buying the ice cream twins + the HA versions?!?!? I still don't particularly care for the characters in the movie, but the toys are nice.
Meh, I like the HA line, but Skids/Mudflap is a stretch at that price-point because that Arcee mold is junk, and Mudflaps arms look too skinny and gangly here.
Although I really disliked both characters in the context of the film, I have to say Skids is a dynamite figure, and if Mudflap is based on the same basic design, it's a good sign. On the other hand, judging from that Hasbro image, I'm really not liking how ridiculously thin his upper arms are... Skids looks much better with the wheel-wells/shoulder-pads. zmog
Blue Arcee......goddammit I admit. I raged. Damn thing's gonna get a few coats of paint to make it accurate when I get it. Meanwhile, the Arcee that came with Skids looks nothing like any of the triplets. I DOES look like the bike Mikaela was riding at the beginning of the movie.
This set is worth it for Simmons alone. The fact Mudflap actually looks good along with Chromia is just icing on the cake.
