Personally, I love the Valkyrie I own. To be fair, I knew what I was dealing with when I bought it, so I had no expectations. Still, she ended up surprising me. Even though she's not perfect, she's quite an impressive piece to me and looks nice in my collection.
I'm willing to give them a shot on this guy. However, you do make a valid point about Valk being poorly made. I got lucky, I know this. There were many more who weren't. Breakages, glues not holding, bad paint apps, etc.
It *looks* more sturdy, though. They're at least using screws this time, instead of plastic everything and a bunch of glue. He could be hollow crap, but that plastic looks plenty dense to me. Perhaps they learned their lessons and heard the cries of the public?
The tail, however...it looks a bit sketchy. I can't tell if that's flash from the camera, or stressmarks on the hinges...
Still, if it's an affordable price and it's as good as Valk, or even better, I'll buy it.

So I ordered two of them from BBTS since they were onsale for 30 bucks each and the moment i took it out and looked at it I decided to put it back in the box and return it. These things look terrible. No surface details at all? looks terrible in bot mode and spikes keep falling off. First time ever returning anything to BBTS even ate the return shipping since there is nothing wrong with it. its' just terrible looking to me. lol I'm doing collecting anything Quintessons related. Didn't like the sharkies, never got a chance to get the judge or any of those earlier quints. oh well..

really? what about difference in plastic? Wonder if these are cheaper made to lower its price. all the review says QC and plastic quality was great. Once I got my figures i just thought that oh right they are just promoting it. hmmm.. but maybe not.

I personally love the figure and think it fits in perfect with my classics quint shelf. Are they delicate ? Yes. Are they perfect ? No. But its a freaking Alicon. What other 3rd party was going to give us awesome obscure characters like IT did ? At the time most of the others were busy making upgrade kits to fix Hasbros screw ups. IT was designing full blown figures pretty early in the game back when we only expected them from fansproject and TFC was just starting Hercules. Alicon was an awesome figure. So are the tetra jets, mini warriors, and all the quints.

Yea I know I saw this and was going to get them to display with the alicons. But since I sent them back I don't think I'll go for these.

I could understand alicons being meh to some people, but I would think sharkticons would be a must have for any G1 fan ?

I wanted to like them all I really did. But selling the sharkys and sending the alicons back... Do I really want to take another shot with the igears one? Lost money on both transactions lol not a huge deal but time was spent selling it and sending them back.. Haha
