And the ride should go to FL! But... fuuuuuuuu, I'm going to Universal & Disney this year >__<
Psh. Harry Potter Land has nothin' on Transfromers. Lol. Then again I'm not a big Potter nut <.< Ah well. Never been to Potter Land so it'll be interesting.

With some improvements here and there, this might be a good start for a custom WFC Skids. Maybe.

Regardless, I'll probably buy it (assuming it's normal price) simply because it's the only TF toy based on a ride.

IIRC, there's a possibility that he may be a general retail figure.Flux Convoy wrote:I'm wondering it that will be exclusive to the park. Disney does things like that with Star Wars. Not my cup of tea but neat.

Ah, good thinking! I was thinking 'Smokescreen?', but you're right, the vehicle mode makes more sense as Skids. Now I will finally have a movieverse TF I can call Skids!

Why would you assume it's only going to be sold at the theme park? Isn't it expsensive to design and manufacture a new mold? I doubt they'd go through the trouble to make something that's only going to be sold in the theme park gift shot.

Well, you might actually enjoy the park and the ride while you're there. If you go just to buy the figure, THAT would be a piss-poor idea.

Agreed on the back kibble. It's not as bad as, say, Roadbuster's which is long enough to look like the back of a trenchcoat, but I'm seriously not liking the designer's decision of leaving the whole car's roof hanging off the bot mode's back. And when you look at Evac's alt mode, there really isn't much of a roof in the first place.
Anyways, I like the fig enough to buy it; just hoping it's not a park exclusive.

not bothered about this at all. the original concept/proto pics we saw at botcon looked better, or maybe i'm remembering wrong. either way, as it is, I'm not a fan of the toy's alt mode (that render of it looks nice though) and the robot mode is fairly generic. maybe in colours that made it pop more, i might be swayed, and i suppose, if i was at a theme park and it was there for a tenner or something, i might pick it up, but it's not high up my very long list of wants for this year.

WAY too much of my budget has been going to Takara lately after the whole bullshit First Edition issue.

Have you ever been to a theme park? Rides literally exit into gift shops.
