I am beyond excited for this incarnation of Wreck-Gar.
I was quite pleased to see this review so early because really, he's the figure i'm waiting for the most out of all the figures from Generations, United and RTS. With what i've seen from this review i won't be let down.
Love the asymmetry and colours. Plus his lanky look and the face is perfect IMO. Gawd damm i'll be stoked to see him on the shelf and finally get em in my hot little hands!!

I'm still disappointed the front of the bike isn't the head but it's a good figure.

Peaugh says he wants an official Springer. I really don't! There's no way it could compete with FP's version!

Looks good. Even though Hasbro/Takara have been doing the expanding blade thing like the axe weapon here for a couple years, it still surprised me.

My TFA Swoop is tight. No loose joints at all.

I really hope Hasbro gives us a Scrapheap type variant to this mold as well. It is an amazing mold, especially being a motorcycle. The only negative I have is really a personal gripe. I wish the right foot had the ability to open and close like the left foot. Shouldn't be a problem though.

Sure there is: by being 1/4 the price and not limited availability.

Warbot: Defender is still available. But, Hasbo's Springer would be 1/4 the cost and probably look like this..

Hasbro's Wreck Gar looks fantastic, I could see them doing a pretty great non-repaint Springer

This is going to be a good toy.

Very true. I would really liek to see some United/Generations side by side pics for a lot of the figures.

BTW, Darkwing Duck was a great show, I actually went looking for episodes online not too long ago. Classic.

Can the right foot rotate 180?

Great looking figure, I can't wait to add him to my collection. I do also wish his head was the front of the bike but I guess they had to make some concessions with the transformation. It's not too big a deal. I do wonder how Takara's compares, paint-app wise.

Yes, that was my point. Accuracy, not price!

Be fair. Universe's Springer's wings and cannons are meant to fold down behind his back and he doesn't look half-bad.

by **KIERANW** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 4:43 pm

Looks great! ill be sure to get this guy when he comes out.
But for some reason im not as excited for him to come out as i am with alot of the other classics/RTS/generations
