My son was born in 2006. He has seen the original show (which Sixshot was in all of a one minute scene), and has never seen the original toy other than photos I've shown him.

fair enough, you take your chances I guess.

So you do have some familiarity with this character.

As I stated earlier I never had this toy myself, but had friends who did.

Opinion not fact, I happen to think the original series show is the 2nd best animated version of Transformers ever. The toys vary from very good to admittedly very bad. I'd take 1984-87 line over anything released from 2006-2012.

Or like when they took Windows 7, which everyone loved and came out with version 8...oh wait I mean 10, oh wait...dang...Everyone still likes 7.

I get that Sixshot is a very polarizing toy, as are most of the Leader Class it seems. WJ asked when I announced I purchased him, knowing that some reviews are very positive, others are negative, and that's fine. Just tell me why you think the toy is awful, not just "he's too geewun". Kurona stated it well, the alt modes don't work on many levels, which I agree with, my nostalgia negates all that, but still I acknowledge he really doesn't look like a "tank", or "submarine" or "car" etc...etc...but to me its still a very fun toy, and I'm glad to have it in my collection
