Shhh..... Silverbolt is fat!

Uranos has fallen far from the tree..

In arm mode there is only 30% elbow, Zero wrist articulation, and about 20% elbow articulation. Add that with the hand only having two points of articulation, instead of three like Herc..


I'm out!

Phantom is the one and only, if I don't decided to get rid of it.



dear TFC,

YOU SUCK!

Add that to the existing QC issues with Phantom and I'm starting to wonder if I should cancel my Eagle and Blackbird pre-orders until those three or even all five have been released and some more reviews have been done. My budget is far too limited to waste this much money on something that could be a massive letdown.

Could be? He can't hold his gun with two hands!
It's cool to have each figure a nice figure, but if the gestalt of the characters
Is as a bad as this Arm, it's doomed. No wrist articulation means next to nothing with poses.
He might as well be G1, where the only gun action is facing down or facing forward.
He can't holding anything like Herc.

Dear TFC, fix this or get lost, without the wrist articulation and third finger joint, this isn't a 90$ figure.
More like 40$, and Hasbro-esque. Boo you!

His wrist turns on mine, did I miss something? You also get extra articulation out of the elbow if you extend the legs a bit. It seems fine to me.

I'm not confused now at all

I've cancelled my Eagle and Blackbird pre-orders and will wait for Phantom to arrive and reviews on Eagle before making another decision. Will still most likely end up with the full set, just might be better to wait for the second run which will hopefully have worked out all the bugs.

His wrist turns on mine, too...

Interesting. My Phantom has 360 degree turn at the wrist, if you extend the legs about half a centimeter, you can get a 90 degree elbow swing and the wrist moves back and forth, though admittedly not by much.
