Riddle me this!

Why does a full-blown God, who can fly, use thunder, lightning, have super strength, need a giant transforming robot?

The robot modes look good. But the alt-modes make me wish I was color-blind.

Poor Thor. They took the spawn of Odin and made him look like the spawn of Playskool.

Captain America looks pretty good though. A hummer is an apropriate choice for his alt.

Love the Carnage alt. It's too bad the robot mode looks so contorted.

The others, whoever they are, are forgettable.

Because it's a better way to fly than his regular method: throwing his hammer and holding on for dear life.

Okay they should stop making any cross over references with superheroes, obviously the coloring (not to mention robot design) for this poor sap are horrible (especially carnage and Thor).

The only good thing (for me) coming out of this cross over is only Venom. Thanks for the plain black coloring with white spider symbol on the hood gave Venom a slick look. While carnage red color really doesn't cut in with the design.

I'd just ask if Hasbro lower the prices on these things. I'm not too sure they are worth the price between Deluxe/Voyager

Agreed. The only reason I haven't gotten any of the Star Wars TFs yet is that they are too expensive (19.99 in Canadian Stores). Save for the awkward price point I'd own several SWTFs by now, and I'm considering some of the Marvel TFs.

Aye dishing out a Green Queen for a TF of that size is ridiculous. I'd honestly be buying every single on of these figs(cause Marvel is cool), but I just can't afford that and I'd rather hook myself up with Deluxes that are seemingly only $7.50 at Canadian Wal-mart and TRU.

Deluxes in my area are 14.99 regularly at Wal-Mart/TRU.

You sure? They are regularly 14.99 too, and then TRU and Wal-mart whipped out the big Sale sign and they are all knocked down to $7.50(well Universe/Ani Deluxes at least)

Wow those things are laughable IMO. I bought the Hulk-tank and that thing is a brick. Totally cheap and useless. I have had mini-cons that were more stable and transformable. Hasbro has to stop with these atrocities. :lol:
