I've waited a long time to see pics of the FAB Barricade, but I'll need to see him in colour to make a final decision.

What's up with that weird hand?

I like the pink and brown(?) color scheme!! :-) Other than some ape-length arms, it looks pretty good.

I'm thinking "Barricade: Prototype colours" for Botcon 2008.

Digging the flip-out buzzsaw. Shame about the apparent lack of elbows.

Fifth wheel is the buzzsaw, I think.

No Frenzy... Good, that thing gave me the crawlies. The saw is fairly nice. The proportions are a bit off, but overall, I like this one.

I could go on and on about the shredded metal face and the ape arms, but instead I'll repost this:

It's a good thing it says prototype! The mold rules, but prototype deco always eats poo.

Even in pink, Barricade is still awesome.

But wouldn't that make him a candidate for the kiss player line? :-?

No. He'd need a plastic figure of a scantly clad underage anime girl first.

Oh yeah. I forgot.

Maybe an undressable Megan Fox in anime style? Screw the underage rule. :-?

Agreed! And you got to look tough to look awesome in pink.

*sighs*

It just doesn't sell it for me, at all.

FABs are just not my cup of tea. Great for the younger set, but unless you're a serious collector, I doubt these are worth a purchase...except maybe for schlock value.

I would consider them a novelty....something to add just to say you got one....kinda like my Duocon battletrap. Neat toy, but if he were the only TF I was to ever own I would be sadly dissapointed.

He has tiny legs and shall be called mini-barricade.. and he shall ride on the chest of barricade in a pouch and give the saw to Austin Prime, and ...oh hell.. I'm done..

Not impressed...
