Cool mold, awesome headsculpt, simple but interesting transformation, great gimmick. Sounds like a winner to me! The fact that they managed to pack 8 missiles into a deluxe still amazes me. BTW, how far would you say those missiles fire if you give them a good whack?
Everything about this figure is awesome except the missiles. Their length and firing mechanism are just so lame to me - enough to downgrade Hailstorm from a buy to a maybe. That being said, the head articulation is great, and the paint on yours actually looks much better than I anticipated.
Anytime now, I would think. He showed up on Robotkingdom around the same time as Wave 2 of Generations, and that wave just showed up at BBTS today so soon now, I would think.
