I've seen nothing but praise for them aside from the aforementioned that's-not-what-they-actually-looked-like-in-fiction-and-original-toy thing. Which is a pretty big thing, but when I don't really have attachment to any of these characters aside from Krok...
I preffer these two to the original mold releases. They both look like exclusives that would have once been out of reach for me and Krok has more paint on him than any other deluxe released by Hasbro since I started collecting. That does work against him though since the paint will make some parts thicker than others and thus tighter but not in a good way but that will differ from figure to figure.
As for everything being perfect in this line, afraid not. Both the titan master and legends offerings are the worst we had in terms of new toys. And from reviews, only shuffler is decent for the titan masters while brawn is all that is really new for the legends class. Plus perceptor is kinda weak with his gimpy tabs and the fact that Hasbro chose to reference the mobile laboratory mode instead of his much better original diaclone tank mode. Both of which could be achieved on the G1 toy but they totally ruin the legit tank mode here by not providing any ground clearance for it.
And Bodrock, that is some smart thinking, i hope you do get to experience this wonderful Kup mold but in a more worthy deco.
