I don't own the figure myself, but Isn't the robot mode regarded as one of the most poseable for a deluxe class?

Off topic, awesomely creepy signature :APPLAUSE:

On topic, it may be too poseable, but I still like the figure.
Wrestling is just a male soap opera, though less believable.

Ok...I HAVE to see how Dark Steel's weapons work on that Bee. I forgot I had them, really. But I did pick that Bee up at the local Family Dolloar for $5 last month, and yet it was because of the red eyes and "harsher" paint job.

Anways...uh..I did mentally note that the tfwiki stated Animated Snarl(Slag) shelfwarmed in the UK. Don't see why. It's a solid trike figure, and the cheeto club is easy to detail properly.

There's still some DOTM stock at my local TRU, but my Target just recently had a clearance to get rid of its lingering figures. Of those left, I was surprised to see two Space Case (the retool of TF 2010 Terradive). It's a good mold and a decent cannon fodder Decepticon compared to the very crappy lineup of deluxe cons (since we never got Soundwave and I could never find any Darksteels :-( ). My collection of movie figures is pretty tiny as is, and after the high number of quality RotF 'cons, I was disappointed by the meager offerings.

There were also a few voyager Skyhammers left, which also came as a shock, but less of one because he didn't have a prominent 'Target exclusive' sticker.

Here in Costa Rica you can still find some Animated figures that I think are very good ones. Leader Megatron, Deluxe Blackarachnia, Deluxe Swoop and Deluxe Ratchet. Other toys (that maybe deserve being shelf-warmers) include Deluxe Sentinel Prime, Leader Class Bulkhead and Voyager Atomic Lugnut.

I find the spoiler as a unremovable mele weapon a little silly. Beside, no way am I gonna pay 50$ for that.

It's an electro-gun or something, not a melee weapon. BTW, what do you mean by unremovable? You actually HAVE to remove it for transformation to bot mode, and it even stores behind the robot's waist.

Personally, the biggest problem I have is with the ugly alt mode. His head is also kind of small, but in bot mode, I think he's awesome.

Just to make sure, are we talking about the same Mirage, as in this one?
