It looks good. Honestly, it pushed Siege even farther past the line in my estimation. I cannot stress to you how much better this figure is. He, at the very least, holds together well. Even T30 can't say that.

 

So, uhhh... does anyone else's Chromia have issues with her, uhhh, crotch plate keep falling off? The little pegs on the side don't seem to hold it in place, nor do they serve any obvious function for allowing it to, uhhh... flap.

Might just glue it before it falls off and is, uhhh... lost  

 

I'm still dreaming of even getting Chromia. She's STILL not hit the UK, in either brick and mortar or online retail. Earlier I broke and just ordered her off Amazon. I'll uh, report back on the crotch when she arrives?

 

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) hmm.....

That's definitely an odd quirk on a Fembot toy...... for better or worse. Even when putting the implications aside, I don't really seen the point of that piece being a separate piece.

 

Yeah, flippin' up dem toes on the left bot in Reflector's camera mode doubling as a flash is definitely workable. I'm finding these figures to be pretty good, as-is. Hmm.

 

Just got Greenlight in, she's great! Love the colors and stiff joints. I'm mildly disappointed with the headsculpt. It's far from bad, but isn't on par with the excellent headsculpts of Elita, Moonracer, and Novastar. Here's hoping for a Lancer by next year!

 

lol So I had actually canceled my preorder for the new Springer after seeing the pics of him sporting the blue tinted gray. In person though it’s not nearly as bad as I had thought.

Haven’t transformed him yet, it does seem like a daunting task, but he’s a fantastic figure and has taken the previous Springer’s spot with my season 3 bots.

Gonna rename the old one and put him with the AU team made up of other bots that got replaced by newer figures. Including a couple other Springers.

 

I'm only allowing myself 1 figure per wave. What's the better choice? Sixgun or ironhide?
I really liked hound from the 1st wave.

 

Great review! And pics! I certainly appreciate the in-depth commentary and the context it was presented in.

Nice to see some constructive criticism mixed in with the ole’ appreciation thing  

 

11% increase for deluxes in the span of a year isn’t marginal when deluxe figure pricing has climbed considerably over 10 years in a recovering economy ($18 to $20, which already rose from $15 to $18 in 2014/2015, which in turn ran from $12 to $15). Likewise, there was a 20% for voyagers ($25 to $30) in a 2 years beginning in 2017. The last decade saw an almost 100% increase in deluxe costs and 50% in voyager costs. Leaders have only risen by 11% in the span of 10 years, though their size has shrunk considerably.

Again, I’m saying all of this despite liking the figures themselves. Just healthy to raise a few questions.

I just can’t fathom why when the economy is objectively stronger than it was back in 2012. Oil prices are cheaper as well. I do like the quality but I’m very confused as to why it’s taken 6 years to get here, why they’re still relatively smaller height-wise, and why the prices haven’t gone down...other than Hasbro’s unwillingness.

 

Yeah! Ultra Magnus is the fattest of them all!

I found these

 

on this transformers facebook group im apart of

 

Now I wish I had the Legands Windblade, Twin Twist, and Topspin for the Targetmasters. Will get that Apeface and Crosshairs for sure.

 

Spinister looks weird... but that won't stop me.

 

What Spinister? All I see are Apeface, Astrotrain, and Crosshairs.

Nevermind, found Spinister images.

Edit: Transformers: War For Cybertron Figures Revealed

Spinister looks ok to me.
