which is the better figure to buy armorhide or brawn

I've got the original Landmine from the '07 Movie which is the mold that Armorhide uses. I'd say he's got decent articulation. I'd say I'd get Brawn because I like his character and weaponry more. Not so much for Armorhide. All in all, it comes down to what you prefer.

Or... you could wait for a 2 to 1 sale, if stores do that anymore these days.

I say get both. I think they both offer good features as toys and it would be a shame to have just one or the other. One thing I like about Landmine/Armorhide is that it has hand articulation. It's not a major detail but I think that such a feature in a Deluxe class figure is quite rare and special. Things like that stick out for me. I'm odd like that. I'm odd in many other ways too, hehe.

I think that both toys have nice and solid alt modes. Armorhide/Landmine looks like it has a more substantial bot mode whereas Brawn has some shellformer going on but it's not too bad by any means.

If you like both, get the one you like better first and then pick up the other one later on.

Armourhide/Landmine has AMAZING articulation. With a sharp knife you can separate the fingers so he has individual finger articulation! And, the robot mode has no vehicle kibble. Brawl is pretty much a shellformer.
