Review: "ChangeofGun" - Bootleg G1 Megatron

Postby prehistoryanimal » Mon Mar 05, 2007 11:37 pm

good eve, folks.

today's review- changeofgun from gold crown. what a name, lol. he's a bootleg of the g1 megs complete with arm canon and gun thingy. he also comes complete with a sticker sheet and STAPLED instructions... hahaha. also, a crudely hand-drawn instruction manual is sketched on the back of the card..lol. the sticker sheet is very unique in that all the decepticon logos have been replaced with the gold crown's, lol. check out pic1-

and a lil mistranslation to spice it up-
"make use of children of five and over" :shock:

megs in robot mode with gun thing mounted on his arm. it fits very tight, heh.

critique-
ok as far as bootleg goes.. this isn't horrible.. but then again it isn't great. let's start with it's high points.

it's joints are uber tight. if u notice the chest being slightly lop-sided, it's because i didn't want to force it all the way up, tight. never to the point where i felt like i was going to break anything tho... well except for the arm bar.. >.> more on that later. he can maintain good poses and will serve u well as an office conversation piece. the one sticker that was pre-placed is the hidden abdomen piece, but the sticker is placed well, so no complaints.

the low points.. ok so not all the joints were suber tight.. the 2x waist things that swing the legs out are kinda loose. not too bad, but not as tight as i'd like them. the detail on the face could have been better. the molding could have been sharper. and no P38 symbol :( and the arm bar.. the thing was really tight like the rest of the body.. so u can imagine my fears as i gingerly spun it around for the first time. after the 3rd transformation, it got the hang of it.. but mang.. and my biggest gripe with this.. FLASH FLASH FLASH. it came with hellllllaa flash. no good at all... took me forever to remove all of it. boo.

so on a scale of 1-10, what do i give booty megs? -5.5

cool toy if u can get it cheap, otherwise buy a REAL MEGS. :)

cheers~

man, the bootleg i got and used for parts was waaaaay better then that, had all his right colors, diecast parts, all of his jap reissue accessories, full barrel extension and stock, and he still fired.

the card was huge, and labled him as Destroy Monarch.

it was incredible quality. so good i was able to play with it a lot, and never broke or got loose. untill i took it apart and used it to restore my g1 megs.

however, some people had said they got that one too, and thiers fell apart.

same with all bootlegs, some are good, some are bad.
