Toy Review: Movie Legends size( Small) Barricade

Postby Sherade » Thu Jun 14, 2007 3:07 pm

Hey, what's up.
Today's review will consist of the following catagories.
Sculpt/mold
Paint
Articulation
Transformation
Modes
Gimmick
I do this to give you a comprehensive review.

Sculpt/Mold:
The sheer level of detail in this toy is amazing. There are even seperate grille rectangles. The alt mode is streamlined, with no protrusions. The plastic is strong, and can withstand numerous transformations without scratching. The face sculpt is top notch, and looks like the full-size.
Paint:
The paint is very basic, consisting of a flat black plastic base. There are pearl doors, and silver Police lettering on the doors and spoiler. The light bar is aldso the traditional red/blue. The detailed face paint is worth applaud. The eyes are seperate and painted red. The mouth is silver with surrounding gold. The paint isn't chessey either. It covers, and doesn't bleed or fade into the base plastic. Very good.
Articulation:
I was surprised when I first opened it. The thighs and knees bens, as well as the shoulders swivel. The head is limited up/down, and takes some level of posebility away. Arms can move many ways, but because of the figures size, they have no elbows. The hands are one piece with the arm, and that's all. Overall, it is actually superb for a hot-wheeels-size toy.
Transformation:
This is very easy. Simply flip and turn the arms, pull out the knees/legs, flip out the feet, and pull down the front end (chest). The head doesn't neccasarily need assisstance.
See the gimmick section. This transformation was so easy, anyone can do it with closed eyes. Not much else to say.
Alt mode:
Detailed. Plain and Simple. The guard bars on the grille even flip down, like on the full size one. (No frenzy though)
The wheels, well, free wheel, and the scale is perfect. The tailights are a little big though.
Robot mode:
Posebility is it's demand, and it delivers. The detail and poseability add to the figure. Though, the other sectins told you this.
Gimmick:
The head automaticallt pops out when you pull down the chest.
Other:
Price=$4.99(us only)
Grade: A

To the management: If this doesn't belong here, feel free to move it.
