Hmm, that doesn't look right. Maybe it's the pose and weird camera angle? Still, the brown color and somewhat simplistic arms/chest in robot mode are weird. I really want this figure to be awesome, but I'm not really feeling it yet. Will wait for better pictures..
Actually, if you look at the white parts on the car, it appears the figure was in some yellow light when the photos were taken, then cropped out in photoshop. If you color-correct the image accordingly to account for the yellowish tint, it looks a lot less brown, and a lot more grey....
Hes sooooooooooooooo beutiful I must have him...human alliance bumblebee and barricade fight hooray!!!!
Looks awesome to me, and I hated the deluxe. I'll definitely look into purchasing Human Alliance Barricade, but I guess I'll need to buy Human Alliance Bumblebee as well to go alongside it.
This is apparently what happens when people use one pic... but not the other when designing a toy's final look... I don't think he looks too bad, but I'm not really in love with him at this point - wish they would have given him movable panels on the front-end to re-create that pec-shape he has there & REALLY upset they haven't given him his proper claws on his hands...
................................Not feeling it....Even Mudflap is underwhlming... I expected better from a character whom sports my Favorite car.............
Look harder. You can see the empty wheel well in his forearm, and it doesn't match up with the other arm. The wheel mace can fold back into place, and I can see what looks like a folded up hand on the base of the weapon.
Chest aside, I think Barricade is probably the most accurate HA toy so far. More pics are necessary, of course, but right now this looks like it'll probably be my new favorite HA.
Granted i was disappointed with the images of Barricade...but i have been disappointed with pretty much all the images they've had of any character. But what i like about these toys is that you can move them into any position you want, and the armor panels look pretty manuverable (except maybe the chest). I have hope, and i can't wait to see different pics of this guy!
I shall second that. Bumblebee is pretty damn good, but this looks superior. Skids has the wings on him that are not on the CGI model or even the Deluxe mould (and thus the only reason why I have kept the Deluxe in the face of the HA's superiority) and Sideswipe still has not really caught me in the way I want it to. (That said, I still want to get the HA Sideswipe just to have them all -- for some reason the Human Alliances are making me want to be a completist.) Mudflap looks good as well, but there is something about the Twins that is far less cool than Barricade. I am very much looking forward to this. I plan on using this in my comics, in fact. More images of this figure are needed, but there are only going to add to my level of anticipation for him as I have been sold from the moment that he was announced.
I couldn't quite make it out but thank you!! This was my most looked forward to HA figure and I really wanted him to have both hands AND the mace. The rest of him didn't look cool enough that I would buy him for $30 because Skids disappointed me. Of course I knew that the wheel could fold back into place that's how it has to be or else there wouldn't be a possible car mode. The hand was what worried me.
I think he looks pretty good. A vast improvement over the deluxe version. The legs are a little iffy, but I think we should wait until we see in-hand pictures. Probably my third favorite of the line. Nowhere near as good as Skids, and not detailed enough to take over the second spot of BB. He looks better than Mudflap at the moment, and is definately better than Sideswipe.
