Seekers bringing the rain of pain

Good review, Sir!

If I may take a moment to add my two cents here...

I just got Acid Storm and Venin from Hasbro Toy Shop and found it to be a train wreck, which is sad, because the Starscream version of the same mold is excellent. First off, it looks like they threw the facial paint apps at the figure from across the room. The red paint for the eyes is all over the cheeks and on the black "helmet" part above the eyes. Trying to scrape it off only made it worse. Your review was very accurate in terms of Venin being pretty much useless as it is made of worse quality rubber than you would find on a dollar store toy. The real tragedy is that they used this same rubber on Acid Storm's feet and the tail fins on the backs of his calves. At least they used a more durable PVC on the Starscream version.

For some reason, Hasbro totally phoned it in on this figure, and I'm actually entertaining the idea of returning it from whence it came.

thank you, yea i noticed the rubber feet and tail fins, but it didnt really bug me since he could still stand. still he is a bit of a downgrade from Screamer, lets hope Thundercracker turns out better
