    I'd be more interested if those Targetmasters had SOME kind of leg movement.


    Ah well, at least their arms move.:lol

    I still don't know why this exists, but it's really clear that whoever designed it really had a lot of love for the original toy. As someone who had the G1 figure, I really do want to pick this remake up, too.

    Aside from missing a bit of yellow, that has got to be one of the most faithful, direct-port updates of a G1 character to Classics. Very nice! I like him a lot. Looks like he'll be on the small side, but that's normal these days and fine for this character (especially since his extra mass is made up by the Targetmasters).

    I'm in the same boat. Now if only they can give us a Needlenose, especially with how prominent he's been in the comics the first year of RID.

    Also, Scoop can still mount his Targetmasters on his forearms! This is a definite purchase for me.

    But why go through the trouble of being nearly 100% accurate then changing the shovel color to orange from yellow. Before I read the words 'gang molded' fifty times over the next 3 pages, the designers should have planned for it to be molded with other yellow parts or painted. I'll still buy it and be happy since I'm semi-obsessed with head/target/powermasters but I won't be 100% satisfied...maybe 98%.
    :p

    Orange ... do you ... like ... orange?!

    :lol  I dig it. It's goofy, but will probably be a decent purchase.

    Yeah, that's what my first thought was: This toy looks fun. Isn't that what these toys and this hobby are all about? Nice work, Hasbro!

    Looks so good.

    But will paint that scoop yellow for sure. Never had to take a pin out so I'm a little anxious about that.

    Looks like a fun figure, but the color scheme is not my favorite. I'll probably still buy him, just to fiddle with.

    While pretty faithful...this guy doesn't look like he has much of anything interesting going on. He looks pretty bare bones as far as his size and what his transformation accomplishes, and he's very sparse on paint.

    I like it!

    But the Targetmasters should be called Thighmasters...because it looks like they are using one...
