Mine should be delivered tomorrow. I see they still haven't fixed the banana boat issue. Oh well.

 

Hell yeah. I can’t wait for Puffer and Hipes to get here tomorrow.

 

the what??

 

Got my set today plus Jackpot...hooray!

 

Where in truck mode, the middle part slumps down, looking like a banana shape.

 

Bought this set mostly to swap arms between Huffer and Puffer. Super simple and totally worth it. Huffer looks a little more cartoon accurate and Puffer doesn't suffer at all. It's like an upgrade kit that comes with two bonus robots.

 

Oh wow that does make a difference. What does the parts swap involve?

 

Just pop out the mushroom pegs right above the elbows and swap. Had it done in about ten seconds and it's totally reversible.

 

Ohhhh yeah that's super easy, I'll totally try that.

 

Oh, I like that. Do you happen to have a picture of them in their alt-modes with the arms switched?

 

Here you go.

 

What about altmode?

 

Not interested enough to get them, but I appreciate the toy-based Huffer & Pipes faces on these.

 

Just got my pair and after a few transformations noticed this on the back of the right leg

 

Just opened mine and Puffer has two right biceps. With the port on the wrong side his arm can't plug in and can't get out of the way of the wheel enough to spin.

 

These guys are great, but I wish the structural jankiness with the vehicle mode had been solved.

 

Road Ranger is gorgeous in hand. Definitely screams a Halloween vibe to me. Does not look anything like the gobot version but expected due to the ehobby version. Puffer is ok

 

There’s not a ton to say about these two. If you like Huffer and Pipes, you’ll like these two. The toy-inspired faces and the decos look good. The bowing truck mode problem persists, but I’m still pleased with the mold. My Puffer did have a massive sprue mark in his elbow preventing his arm from going anywhere close to a straight position, but that was easily fixed and I haven’t had other QC problems.

 

Got the set today. Fairly happy with them, first experience with the Pipes version of the mold. I do wish these two had traded bodies, since Puffer is supposed to be a Pipes colored Huffer. He ends up being too similar to Pipes. And Road Ranger would have been fine using the Pipes body. I do have them trading accessories at least. I do hope we get the yellow chest version of Huffer/Pipes somewhere down the line, maybe in that rumored Walmart Velocitron line.
