I'm still on the fence. I'm getting Seaspray from iGear and that Powerglide just isn't anything to write home about. If BBTS had them I'd do a preorder but for now, pass.

Personally,I think "Bomber's" head is too big. Bomber's looks like a "super deformed gundam toy.

I think hover's head is in proper scale with his body.

Igear (not)Seaspray is the winner for me, and cheaper. Bomber just doesn't work for me, I don't why, just doesn't.

Not feeling powerglides big head. Once again I highly reccomend CHMS powerglide over this. Plus seeing them match size to the tiny perfect effect figure is a major turn off. I know I-Gears isnt much bigger but damn...

Oddly enough I'm still satisfied with Hasbro's Powerglide and Sea Spray. I'm glad I'm passing on these.

I think I'm not digging that big noggin' either. And the price is too high to justify at this point. But who knows what the future may bring. Right now, my money is being saved for Giant.

I know im in the very small minority but I love the look of this Powerglide. I'm not sure what it is, but I can't wait to have him. I dont care for the CHMS one at all. Like the overgrown Wheelie, the aesthetics are way off for me. I, too, thought iGear's Seaspray looked better at first but I'm on board with this one now. I wish he was as tall as the iGear one but that's about it. I have them both on order so I'll be able to compare them in hand.
