I just can't get into Ultra Powerglide's Tig 'ol Bitties
While I'll admit the commander class may not be for some that like the larger versions
I really prefer the smaller scaled Powerglide. He is a better throwback to his G1 persona and doesn't take up a shelf all to himself.



Just needs some tassels on them and when you press the button they twirl!! Talking about distracting some Decepticons! :shock:


Gives "The Girl Who Loved Powerglide" a whole new meaning.


Astoria bought that toy, she wanted some of that action.

Agreed.

This reminds me, I still need a red Ultra class version. I only have the white one.

The Cyberverse Powerglide is an alright figure, but I just think they could have done more with him. Seems like there was unexplored potential there.

Heck, they could have very easily upsized it to deluxe class and fix the feet issue.

I saw DOTM Powerglide on the pegs again today and took a closer look. I honestly have no real problem with the figure design (although the feet are a bit distracting). The true issue I have is that it looks like it is made from thin, cheap plastic. It ruins the figure for me.

I bought it a few days ago, and I have to say the plastic is very good quality and is in no danger of breaking.

don't get me wrong, he's a cool little figure, but I don't think he's the end all of Powerglides as everyone is saying. I actually like the Universe one a lot more.

So why is everyone obsessed with this guy? Is it cause he's been shortpacked and is hard to find or is it the whole Neo G1 throwback? Personally, I feel that Universe Powerglide is the better of the 2 if you want a Classics one. This one is just something fun to fiddle with.

And man is he pricey. He cost as much as Scout class figures used to cost before the price hikes.

Dunno maybe evryone just loves this version of powerglide
