    Having handled both, this one has advantages and disadvantages compared to the TR one - not sure it's worth replacing unless there's something in particular you really prefer about this one.

    The main disadvantages are that this one doesn't have bicep swivels, thigh swivels, head articulation, or an opening gator mouth.

    :sly2: What!!! Why the heck would you do that??? I don't think this is mint to be a replacement at all for TR anything. For starters this thing is made of very cheap hard plastic for younger kids, has next to zero articulation, and is definitely not a Headmaster. But hey at the end of the day, it's your toy.

    P.S. So how much for your TR Skullcruncher???:rolleyes:

    Not sure about your TR Skullcruncher, but I've actually never had a problem with anything on my copy, everything is tight, and it holds poses amazingly.

    But if your looking for a young kids toy to just stand up and knock around, and your not building any type of definitive Mainline MP style collection, this Cyberverse Skullcruncher may be perfect for you. Looks like they will stand up to all types of play time fun.;)

    The mouth opening is to support the battle armor. It hides in the jaw.

    Can confirm.

    At the end of the day, neither figure is particularly great, so just go for whichever one you think looks better.

    Still, this mold might make some good kitbash fodder.

    Cyberverse is great for younger kids who're growing out of Rescue Bots but not quite ready for Generations.

    I definitely agree! It's a fantastic introduction gateway into Mainline or even MP!
