I would consider them good design, for their price point. They're definitely fun desk toys, and their ability to combine is excellent, but with that being said, I'm not keen on the core class figures overall. Personally, I'd prefer Hasbro put more focus into the larger classes. I'd rather pay ~$24 for a good deluxe, than paying ~$12 for a tiny core figure with limited articulation.william-james88 wrote:You once talked to me about good design vs bad design, how would you characterize these mini dinos?
100% agree! However, in my opinion, Knockout isn't the worst offender. For me, it's the Legacy Armada Hot Shot... those knees are awful! (at least on my copy)william-james88 wrote:I really hate when the knees can easily be disconnected.

It's the original. Though, it might just be sitting balanced on top of the figure, rather than actually attached to it.o.supreme wrote:So is that the original Overload or a new one? Super interesting if it is compatible with an almost 20 year old toy.

I'm glad its coming for those that want it. I have zero interest, but knowing Hasbro, they will make the trailer Airlock compatible just to spite me.

If anyone puts out a new Puzzler that doesn't suck, I'll be all over it. As for this guy, he doesn't look as bad as I expected but he doesn't look good enough to waste money on. I have a Micro Monstructor, I don't need another one.
Agreed on the bulkiness of the combiners, but I do think the Hotspot/Onslaught mold needs updated. In torso mode it's kinda stiff and limited. Not nearly as bad as the Motormaster mold, but worse than the Cyclonus/Silverbolt one.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:I like it when combiners are thick and thicc. They look more muscular, and more likely to take advantage of their size. If you take CW Defensor and replace Blades with the deluxe Groove, his proportions are basically perfect for me.

Hopefully if Legacy gives us more full-sized combiners, Defensor is next.
