EB Games Hascon Quintesson Set

[protoform_ironhide]

I am not saying you can’t make a thread...If u have a discussion about the set I understand. But I just think these kind of thread is unnecessary(while people also post they received this on EBgame sightings) and then just ask who got the set? I mean... really?? Well, I am out, not here to pick a fight or anything.

Anyone open theirs? My Sharkticon head was glued on and it snapped off during then turning of the head for transformation. All in all a great set. Love the quint.

Sorry to hear that man. No, the head on mine spins 360 degrees freely, no issues.

bummer, man. in the off chance you are looking to get more sharks then highly recommend the MFT sharks, much better quality/paint and sells for $40 for a 3 pack

^ seconded, they are honestly great

Their antennas are a neat add-on to "individualize" them more, though they will absolutely break off if you ever touch their tips

But they all got lil' handguns, which is cool/unique from the retail releases (I gave em to other legends figs though; all my sharks are in shark mode)

Damn man that blows. The worst part is it is an exclusive so what can you do?

Finally got my shipping email about an hour ago. Can't wait to get this.

Have to say I am impressed with the Sharkticon offerings from Hasbro over the last few years. From the legends version, through Cyberverse, up to WFC there are so many variations. What's great, in my head canon, is that they are all parts of the "Sharkticon" race. From the little cute ones that came with Black Hot Rod in Cyberverse up to the more accurate WFC version.

FYI to others, not sure if it was just mine but the be careful when lifting the Wrath face on the Quint during transformation. I'd recommend lifting a little then slide your finger under up to the pivot point and use that to lift.

I lifted near his chin and the face popped off. Not a big deal because the Voyager Quint actually has 2 faces ship with them off...just pop it back on right? yeah... I tried for about 20 minutes unsuccessfully. In the end after looking at it I decided the top peg on the face just had too tight of a tolerance and was too wide to fit into the hole on the base.

In case anyone else has this, My fix was to use a nail file and file the back side of the peg toward the front to make the peg just a little thinner. I was being careful and it took a few tests but eventually it popped back on.

This is the peg I'm referring to. Arrow points to the side I filed to make a tiny bit thinner (other side has a lip you dont want to file off!!)

Is there any difference between this quintesson head and the single release voyager?

doesn't appear anything other than paint applications and plastic colours

This voyager quint review shows them both side by side:

Quint is the same other than deco. Bailiff has new head and other bits. Sharkticon is redecoed.

Shame it is such limited quantities but it's actually not a bad value. 40/30/15 dollar toys, whatever you consider kranix/prosecutor, and a box that is a playset for $90.
