Strongarm is OK but nothing really super awesome about her
We all miss the FE line.While simplifying may be good, it kinda degrades the standard of the toys.But to all TF Fans(especially G1-ners) do not worry,be happy!You still have 3rd party toys,MPs ,and Combiner Wars.
Oh,by the way,why is the caption picture still the same?
what a "G1-ner" (?) like me wants is a quality action figure.
i want something that isn't super simple, super hollow, tiny, and isn't $15-$17.
don't worry because of combiner wars?.. huh? those figures are just as hollow and just as simple.
third parties? yeah, because i want to have to spend that kind of money on a figure. no thanks.
masterpiece figures.. sure, i love them, but there are what, 3 new molds each year?.. yeah, that's definitely going to quench my need for new figures.
i LOVED animated, and i LOVED the figures, they were fantastic.
i thought TFP was great, and most of the toys were exceptional.
so... why can't we have that?.. why is EVERYTHING made for really young kids?.. and don't say "because they're toys" because every other franchise gets an adult oriented collector(ish) sub-line to go along with their little kids toys.
we have spider man legends figures, guardians of the galaxy legends figures, captain america legends figures, x-men legends figures, and star wars has their black series which contains figures in both 4" and 6" scales.. so.. where is transformers version of the black series?
generations certainly isn't that.. not anymore anyways.. those black series utilize modern articulation, the new generations figures are all lacking ankle and wrist joints. the star wars figures are sculpted and painted with accuracy in mind.. generations is sculpted and painted as cheaply as possible.
it's just not fair that all of these other franchises have recognizable adult oriented figures. .. and don't try to tell me that that's what masterpiece figures are for.. masterpiece figures are the equivalent of the sideshow star wars figures.. you get a few of them a year and they're fairly expensive. and masterpiece when it comes to hasbro is like playing pin the tail on the donkey.. who the hell knows what their plan is or if they even have one.
so.. i don't think it's too much to ask to get decent figures from this show.. i don't think it's too much to ask for a gigantic company like hasbro to not completely ignore a portion of their fan base.
check out the toy aisles this holiday season.. TMNT figures are moving like crazy.. the transformers section barely gets any attention. looks like something isn't working.
