Isn't the fact that so many people are on the fence, and also after release it still takes a while to get a good review of any kind, already saying something about this? I think the pricing + the problems described here is a bit borderline. I am hesitant to consider this for now.

 

A local toyshop canceled pre-orders for this, citing QC problems and bad response.

 

Thanks but you didn't hear it. lol

Ou sans voix, je viens de tilter que mon apn est si vieux qu'il prend pas le son...


I did a little video for the transformation and took a few pictures, I'll write a review while the video uploads. Sorry in advance for the video quality, my camera is pretty old, the max video resolution is low, the image is dark and there's no sound but you can still see what's happening (thank you VirtualDub brightness/contrast filter) and hey, I think I managed not to put the figure out of the camera angle too much.  

The bad news is, while I transformed it a few times for the review, I noticed a few stressmarks where appearing on various area even if I don't have most of the issues talked about in this topic. I'll say more about it in the review.

 

I'm sorry, what? This statement makes no sense.

I don't see how that makes no sense - the voyager classic Prime mold never really tickled me as much as it did other people (that said, I really liked it as Ultra Magnus so maybe it was just a colourscheme issue).

 

It's the wimpy part that doesn't make any sense. Classics Voyager Prime is anything but wimpy.

 

I disagree. Besides feeling like a sort of smallish voyager, his "sleek, modern" styling really detracts from his iconic presence on the shelf. Next to the more traditional Igear Faith Leader, he looks sort of lame (in fairness, Faith Leader is a more expensive, complex piece). Something in the overall proportions just makes him look sort of like a "teenage" Prime to me.
