Now, @KFGatri, _here_ is a toy where I may be impossible to please. I don't like the toy head or alligator detailing. But I feel an homage like this should have had them. So while I like the way it turned out, it's also wrong. See the difference?
Omg, I love him! Still detest the Kingdom's mold due to so many spots being painted over instead of molded colors like the Siege version (and my bad history of getting messed up paint jobs on every version so far) but that just means I can Dip one watermelon mirage into each eye for maximum eye scorching goodness! Do I count twice in this since I got two?
he looks more allicon instead of a watermelon imo, somehow not using the diaclone head made this thing look unimpressive.
Maybe it's just because the Jazz set a much brighter precedent, but I'm surprised that I have a good first impression of this one. They balanced out the vivid colors with neutrals and the colors don't seem extremely bright either. The croc decals are a nice piece of extra flair. Might repurpose this one as a new bot just because it looks decent, but probably not going out of my way for it. Might mean Miami Sideswipe will look pretty good too. The box art of him didn't have the neutrals either. Crossing my fingers because they might make a good pair.
Oh, hell yeah, dude! He's as tubular, radical, and awesome as I could've hoped! Truly, there is no better colour combination than neon green and neon pink.
Imo, a figure sinks or swims based on how well the head is executed. I like the yellow eyes, but I was hoping for a toy head all colored green so kinda look like the gillman.
Interesting. Definitely G2, I am still contemplating if I will go all in on this set or just for Toxitron.
I REALLY wish the Kingdom Mirage mold could do the shoulder cannon properly. Or they would use the Siege version in non-clear plastics. But I am more interested in this than the Orange Jazz. +-MWG-+
.....damn you and making me want more just to shove them into the Quintesson army..... Maybe I'll name them the "pinkertrons"
More G2! Did they previously announce a g2/action master Thundercracker in the pipeline. We got some shared colors hereā¦
