Acid Storm is a repaint of Warrior Class Starscream. If you liked Starscream, you're probably me; for the rest of you, it's nice to see the more fringe members of the Seekers getting a little attention.

Hollow, limited-to-almost-no articulation, gimmicks that intrude on transformation and cause floppiness on various parts, goofy or just plain bad designs, all at exorbitant price points. The excuse that these are aimed at children doesn’t fly either, as it can’t be justified with these price points. I certainly wouldn’t lay that kind of money down on such poorly made toys for any child I know. Hopefully this line fades away fast. At least WfC: Siege looks like a home run in almost every respect.

I am saying that price point is still too much. Every one of these figures is far overpriced for what you get.

Yup, Seige shockwave is a voyager sized bot who will be sold at leader price due to extra accessories. That means 50$ usd fot voyager shockwave, or 70$ CAD

I was able to pick up Acid Storm last week, and while I don't expect MP, SS or even Generations quality with a kiddie show toy line..... she's just made out of sturdy, but cheap plastic, and this line is way more gimmick focused. Because of the gimmick, her wings don't really peg into place in her jet mode, so they're kind of floppy. She is one of the very few of this line that I'll get, and only because fembots.
Yeah, some miscommunication there. The Hasbro.com bio used male pronouns while the episode that first featured Acid Storm had the character voiced by a woman using an unambiguously female voice.Nemesis Primal wrote:Bounti76 wrote:Be reminded that this is a kiddie show, and the toys match that, quality wise.
