No. That looks awful. I'm not hating on it because I have the far superior Botcon figure. I'm hating on it because it looks like carved bar soap. That got wet. Screw that pile of garbage.

How the hell could that fugtasticly horrible Play-Doh reject devalue anything?

Do people actually buy Impossible Toys' tuff. I'm guessing somebody must or they wouldn't keep making things, but all their stuff is ugly and expensive. I don't get it…

Transforming, non-transforming. Doesn't quite matter to me. If it looks aesthetically pleasing to me, I'll buy it.

This doesn't. The SCF PVC figures looked better than this IMO. There hasn't been much modifications made to this figure since 2008? Impossible Toys really have some catch up to do.

All yall need to look at the G1 cartoon. The figure looks just like him. Would it be better if he could bend more joints ??? F**k yeah !!! But over all this is exactly what I need for my classics colllection. A correct scale representation of Alpha Trion that doesnt have a rader dish on his chest and 2 wings that mimmick a cape.

THeir quint stuff is pretty spot-on actually, and I got them for it.

I also got Valkyrie and their Knight Bird, and got rid of the former almost as soon as she arrived.

Look, if it works for you, great - you're their target audience apparently, but that figure is hideous. It looks like a cheap sixth grade carving from clay. Articulation isn't even the number one problem with this thing. It's an Actionmasters reject through & through. A Revoltech Alpha Trion would be win, and likely more accurate and appealing. This thing is just crap.

Ditto on Knight Bird. And I've been meaning to grab the Quints. There's just soooooooo much third-party stuff out there to buy right now. At least this A3 ain't one of them.

I dunno. It looks exactly like the G1 cartoon to me. It's not like they had CG graphics images to help design it. Find me a 6th grader who can carve clay like that. I got work for him.

When impossible toys made Valkyrie's body cartoon accurate (sexy and curvy) everyone complained that she should have been more boxy. Now they make a cartoon accurate Alpha Trion, and everybody says he is too boxy. What do you guys want ??? Muscles ??? Body builder thighs ??? An Iron Man body with an Alpha Trion head ???

you calling Iron Man sexy?

I've got to side with those of you expressing displeasure over this. This Alpha Trion figure looks very amateurish unfortunately.
