Excellent, sir! Happy birthday!
So how is Ironhide? Did you buy the one I almost bought from Amazon Warehouse deals?! You jerk!
After the awesomeness that is my experience with MPM-7, I can't wait for another Warehouse deal.
Thanks!
Yep, I ended up buying the last cheap one from the amazon warehouse deals! I wanted to buy a new one, but then they ran out, and then they only had the 1 left, so I leaped. I did intend to use my Amazon card on SS, but Ironhide works too.
He's.... not terrible.
He's a weak figure, but in the opposite way MPM Prime is. MPM Prime could not and will not assume his truck mode, way too fiddly and wasn't designed as good as he could have been. But his robot mode is strong and I love it.
Ironhide is nearly the opposite. His transformation is less fiddly, (and I don't mind fiddly in this case, seeing as we are dealing with Movie guys, so i know what I'm getting into with all of these) but the shoulders in robot mode are really bringing him down. I can get his shoulders to look steady and for him to look good and tight, but you can't really move him or pose him that well. The robot looks great but it's just so weak in terms of physical build and movability.
He's not bad. But he's certainly weak. Hopefully Jazz follows in the smaller cars footsteps of being pretty darn great and Megatron course corrects the larger guys.
BTW, did I mention how stoked I am for those 2? Especially since that Megatron design as the voyager was my first ever TF? Yeah, I'm stoked
