Transformers Titans Return Wave 4 Deluxe Figures found at Big Box US Retail

Don't judge my diet choices. I eat real food, I promise.

Anyways, there was also a Krok, there. I didn't buy it because I picked it up at a Walgreens in Omaha. No sign of Quake, though.

If we are taling about female TFs, I would rather we get a Nickel before Glyph.

EDIT: I realize we are rather talking of redecos for this BB mold, oops.

So was Hauler, and he has even less toys than Cliffjumper. At least Cliffjumper has a recent generations legends class toy. So you could use that one and this new Bee and have them both on your team looking different. Thats what I aim to do.

Hauler was a mistake by Sunbow. Look at the year one catalog poster. Not on there, because there never was such a character intended. Not even in mail orders like Reflector, also not on the poster.

Not quite. It's likely that Hauler aka Grapple was held back one year for unknown reasons, the news reached the studios just in time for him not to appear again until Season 2. Such changes do happen.

Was looking for "Keep Caramel and Cookie On," but I spent all my luck on TFs. Settled for Pistachio Pistachio. Winner for least-clever name.

Meanwhile here I am in Australia, stunned at the very concept of being able to buy food (let alone Ben & Jerry's ) and Transformers at the same store!



Anyways, I've had Brawn for just a little over 24 hours now and I have to say I'm quite enjoying the figure. No pictures yet 'cause I'm lazy, but he's absolutely a fun little figure and probably tied for my fourth-favorite Legends mold so far in the line. (Bear in mind that while that doesn't sound like much, I think TR has had some of the best Legends in a while; he's surpassed by Wheelie, Kickback and Gnaw, and I'd put him about even with Bee at this point.) I do still have my issues with him, primarily a few paint blemishes - despite the fact that I picked the best-painted of the three there, he's still got some noticeable smudging on the left forearm - and the fact that his torso seems... oddly-proportioned in robot mode.

I don't know exactly what it is about the torso - maybe it's that having the exact same dimensions all the way to the hips makes it seem like he has a giant 'chest', maybe it actually is a bit too long to fit proportionally. (Upon examining images, it does indeed look like the 'chest' area has been way stretched-out, comparing it to both cartoon and toy renditions.) Either way, it bothers me a bit and makes him a little less dynamic-looking, but by no means does it outweigh any of the positives!

That aside, there's just something about him that leaves me feeling underwhelmed somehow. Maybe it's the slight imperfections, maybe it's the fact that I've been looking for him for so long that it feels unreal to actually hold him in my hand - but something leaves me with less of an impression than I usually have when I pick up a new TF. I have a right blast whenever I actually play with him and there's no definable quality that really brings him down much, aside from the mis-proportioned torso, but I guess it's just some personal combination of factors that makes him feel like less of an 'event' than a new toy usually does.

Of course, more than usual in a review, I'd say that this underwhelming-ness is a very personal thing. Objectively, Brawn's a pretty great toy! And I don't regret buying him in the least; far from it! I just wish he left more of an impact on me, for a toy I'd spent so long pining after.

Are you in the US? I want to leave the office and start hunting right now!!

Yep, found them in the Lockport, NY Wal-Mart, north of Buffalo.

I guess I know what I'll be doing for my lunch hour!

Hasbro artist Ken Christiansen has posted an image of his concept art for Titans Return Twinferno's toy. You can see what made it and didn't make it to the final toy. For instance, we can see the stark contrast for the organic arms and legs in dragon mode. However, the dragon heads do not have an underbite and the the torso is more wide than it is long.

Enjoy!
