Re: What do you all think of TFC Prometheus
From what I hear, plastic quality is generally good for TFC products. You won't have to worry about the figure crumbling to dust ten seconds after you open it.
As for looks. I find that I don't really like the TFC aesthetic, especially the head sculpts. Overall they never invoke the spirit characters they're based on. They look similar. They're colored similar, but there's always something off.
As someone who loves the Arielbots, I couldn't bring myself to buy their Uranos, even though the Arielbots are my favorite combiner team. I watched dozens of videos trying to convince myself, but the figure never got any better looking, and their flaws became more significant in my eyes.
Compare that to MMCs Predacons, who I have no emotional attachment. The more videos I watched, the better the figures looked, until I broke down and bought Feral Rex.
Looking at the pics of Prometheus, he looks fat and squat, and from what I can glean from the video reviews I've watched, it doesn't appear that TFC is getting any better at their designs. To me, it seems like their designs are getting worse.
I mean look at the way that helicopter cockpit sits and look at the sides of First Aid in combined mode. The cockpit looks weird and the sides of First Aid look a bit naked, like someone ripped off some panels exposing the red underneath.
Yes, I'm nitpicking. But to me none of the positives make up for the niggling things that aren't perfect with the figure.
