My 2 cents on the 25th figures...
Posted: Sat Dec 13, 2008 2:08 amAZ fans rejoice! They are now in our state. I just picked up all 4 figures and am overall please with one exception.
Starscream: G1 cartoon accurate paint job is awesome, but is out of place with the rest of my Classics, Henkei, and Universe seekers. I'm hoping Hasbro will release more of the seekers in this style. Starscream is also showing signs of mold degradation. I looked for several Starsceams and managed to get the one with the best parts alignment, but you can tell it's starting to show it's mold usage.
Cyclonus: He will rock your socks! This has to be the best figure Hasbro has released yet. It's also the tallest of the deluxes Great articulation and Nightstick was a nice touch.
Hound: Great figure overall. I only wish the feet were better engineered as they kinda limit the poses he can make. Ravage is nice as well and IMO should be in every collection.
Cheetor: I'm going to say that this is the first time I've ever been dissapointed with a mold. I was really hoping the toy would be better than the pics, but it was actually worse. The lower legs have no paint apps except for the kneecaps. The arms have too much kibble on them from the beast mode which renders them useless for any poses. The mold would have been better suited for another character as it just does'nt feel like Cheetor.
