I like how then incorporated the visor, was worried it was a clip on piece that would break over time.

the head sculpt is amazing and the pull down visor is just the cherry on top

Eh, it is what it is. He's clearly got more going on in terms of parts, engineering, and accessories vs Kup/Blurr at the deluxe class.

I'm less bitchy about Studio Series prices because the detail is often quite spectacular. Regular generations I am much pickier about the new price points.

Which I say, as at this rate I'm going to have every remold of Cliffjumper =D



He looks amazing. As he says, if you're gonna ride, ride in style!

Bah, we've seen ROTF deluxes that were far more complex (even some Scouts...). This new Hot Rod has a pretty straightforward transformation all things considered. It looks great, but not a whole of bang for your buck.

That's true. Man, ROTF was a shitty, shitty movie... and a great toyline.

I dunno, my dude. I've just kind of given up at this point. I liquidated 95% of my collection over the past two years. Buying some shit now but it's limited and the hobby is overpriced. Just tired of moaning about it.

I genuinely wonder if TF as a toy is going to crater in some fashion for Hasbro. I don't know how well Cyberverse sells or if kids really give a shit beyond Bee and Prime. They get more money for figure now off the collectors who can't say no, but...

It is pretty funny how for 20 years collectors moaned about how they wish the toys were targeted at them and not kids... and I guess be careful what you wish for.
