PG-13 joke...

Damn it... Botcon exclusives are like really high-class hookers: the more they're beautiful, the more they're expensive!

Yum!

Fugly. The mold is already bad to start with, and now they give it a bad deco. Way to go.

Decent, but not worth the money it would take to get it.

As cool as this one would look on the shelf next to Jetfire it isnt justifying the price. Maybe if I was a lot closer to a con location and not out in the middle of nowhere.

By that rationale, this one should be cheaper than Randy's mother.

I think it looks awesome. Great update to a classic character. Will have to pull out the Dreadwind/Darkwing and Buster/Hydra toys in the very near future.

Freaking awesome!!!
:grin:

My only complaint is that the shoulders should be green. It would make it more true to the original toy, and also liven up the deco a bit.

A little bland to me...

Nico, t'as oublié comment écrire "JE ME SOUVIENS" dans ton petit drepeau... il manque un S.

Looks great! A nice way to reuse a fantastic mold...

Anyone else thing that thing could use a Decepticon symbol or two? And is that the rubsign just behind the cockpit?

Not great, not bad either. If this was on a retail shelf I'd skip it and just get Jetfire.

Being part of a Botcon set and storyline makes it a bit more appealing, but not much. I'm actually more excited about the other seekers than this figure, but I still prefer Dreadwing to BugByte.

that color scheme makes me wanna puke.

Why exactly do you hate the mold so much? I think it's a bang on homage to a classic character (jetfire that is). My only fault with it is his balance. The playability is spectacular.

by **Godmodule** » Mon May 28, 2007 5:53 pm

Oh that's nasty!

I'm sorry but that is just horrible. If it wasn't for nostalgia most others would be saying the same thing. The paint clashes horribly and looks extremely bland.

Nail on the head. The lack of a pivot on his upper thigh kills the posability of the figure and made me really dislike it. Otherwise I would love it to death and call it the best thing since online porn.
