The Alicon looks bigger than expected. It transforms so that's a plus. The hesitation of ordering comes from the price, which might not go down. Unlike the non-transforming IT figures, it may sell well enough to avoid going on clearance.

 

Could you add some of this trivia to the wiki pages on these toys? I love having trivia and design notes. I only have wiki pages for Quint 1-4 so far.

I hadn't even noticed before how Impossible Toys purposely misspelled the names of all four toys. Probably to claim they are original characters.

Alpha Traon (not Alpha Trion)
Alicon (not Allicon)
Kranax (not Kranix)
Arbilus (not Arblus)

 

allicon will be mine, same with the tetrajets

 

I bought Alicon and put him with Gnaw and the IT Quints in my G1 collection. He works extremely well with G1 figures.

 

How is the overall quality?

 

Well he was designed by Venksta a couple of years ago and he told me he had to work with the constraints of no ball joints and no pins. Those things considered it is a neat attempt at reliving G1. The joints are tight and solid. He looks like he should and I like it. I paid the 80 for it but then again no shipping so I will pretend it was 60 plus shipping  

 

Alicon arrived yesterday and I hate him. That's quite a lead in statement and I apologize for being so blatant for the sake of shock value, but this is simply not a good toy. The limbs were floppy right out of the packaging, the transformation is overly simplistic and unsatisfying, and the bot mode precarious to say the least when trying to get him to stand. Add to this no instructions (although again the simplistic transformation almost negate the need) or other pwetty accompanying booklet, and I feel ultra let down overall.

In other words, this toy is not worth $80. Maybe at $35 I wouldn't have felt so ripped off, but at $80 he's libel to make some feel cheated and others (like me) downright angry. Impossible Toys, I will avoid you at all costs going forward. You have lost a customer for life.

 

It's supposed to recreate the feel of G1 toys, so like Gnaw, the transformation has to be simplistic.

 

Dam thats some intese rage you got there over a toy, I would hate to see you after a bad days work. Joints have screws that you can tighten did you try that? And im confused here your upset about the transformation not being super complex or no book? I use the tail to help it stand. there is a couple threads around here on this guy but not sure why you felt the need to post the same thing in multiple ones? Show us pics maybe you transformed him wrong or something.
