    After handling earth rise prime for a few days he's the last g1 prime I'm ever buying he gets the job done. Ss-38 is still the best Voyager prime made and blows er prime away by miles with the better truck,robot and transformation

    Personally, not a big fan of cel shaded windows. IMHO, creates a style clash on the figure itself and typically looks worse than stock transparent windows. If the entire figure was cel shaded, then that’s different, as opposed to just one area.

    Bought a few of their kits for Siege and then stopped buying altogether. Quality went down. Colors that were supposed to match other colors on the figure didn’t match either.

    Edit:
    The QC on their plastic parts was pretty bad after trying 3 different ones too.

    We do use their backdrops on a regular basis, though.

    I'm still digging them. I would have passed on Siege Prowl entirely if not for the Reprolabels set and now, having seen more shots of Earthrise Smokescreen I'm happy I didn't (I will still grab ER Smokescreen because I do like the mold for him but will pass on any subsequent remolds). And at least for my eye, Siege Ironhide and Ratchet were greatly improved by not having transparent windows in their chest. But then I'm pretty at ease with styles clashing. I've got some figures with cel shaded windows, others without. For instance, I'm not likely to buy anything for Hoist. He's already perfect in my eyes. And I agree some of the color choices with the Siege sets were off. I'm debating what to do about Siege Bluestreak. The grey windows from the set on an already grey figure weren't a great choice.

    Few observations of Earthrise...

    -why is Optimus poses in the box like that?!
    -hoist looks like a skinny-fat dude
    -Starscreams body way too blocky

    obviously those are small quibbles, but things I noticed that had puzzled a bit

    It would not have been hard for Hasbro to design it to attach to his back separately.

    It may actually help with his hip joint problem if you remove the ramp.
