This Huffer looks like one of the best deluxes in WFC...and I don't give two shits about Huffer. Definitely picking this up.
It’s definitely the best looking Huffer I’ve ever seen. Blows the old Optimus repaint/remold out of the water (which was never really accurate beyond color pallet to begin with). Personally, I’ll be waiting for the Pipes repaint/remold for my Lost Light collection since he was such a prominent character in that comic. I may get Huffer since he technically was on board the Lost Light, but he was such a background character, I doubt I’d display him.
Finally, after years of being regulated to lame Optimus Prime repaints or other silly gimmicks, much like Cliffjumper, Huffer has his own mold! And it looks good. But now with him, Warpath, Cliffjumper, and the Walmart exclusive Bumlebee...I really want new versions of Gears, Brawn, and Windcharger. (Honestly, I want updates of ALL the minibots...Seaspray, Beachcomber, Cosmos, Powerglide...) I am highly curious to see how they covert Huffer here into Pipes. I imagine there will be a slightly different transformation along with the obvious remolds, but I really want to see him now. XD
Loving the personality in this little guy! If this is the quality/likeness/attention to detail possible in this line, just goes to show how great Huffer could as an official Masterpiece.
Looks great, and now Optimus' trailer has something in scale to it. Really glad I preordered through Amazon when it first went up, the preorder price is already down to $16.99. There's a lot of things to like in what we're seeing here, the way the shield isn't integral to alt mode really makes the value show up nicer for example. Hard to believe this is only the second original Huffer mold in the 37 years this brand's been around, and only the third mold released to mass retail as G1 Huffer at all. I give no poops about Pipes but if the premold has enough changes, that might be tempting enough.
Sideswipe and Cliffjumper say hi. All of the red on Sideswipe has paint, except his gun. All the red on Cliffjumper is paint, except his head and forearms. Which extends to his retools.
nether considered about buying an HUFFER but.. well.. this long anticipated HUFFER is a DIRECT HIT, a MUST HAVE !
Welp.... I want him. He looks so amazing and even gets a shield that isn\'t really his flatbed. Plus... He has a splitting gun which looks amazing.
hahaha uhhhh that should've said Generation Selects not the first time I've made that mistake somehow
My first TF was G1 Huffer, so this guy carries a lot of sentimental value for me. Can't wait to get this dude.
