Re: Transformers Studio Series 86 Voyager Ironhide Robot Mode In-Hand Images
There are good things about this Ironhide, but with prices going up and moving this figure into the voyager class he should be a lot closer to perfect:
- The headsculpt isn't great
- there is a mishmash of red paints/plastics that don't match
- those blue plastic nubs on the roof in van mode just seem lazy,
- those hinges sticking out in van mode (it might be more passable if it was just one hinge bump per side) - this is not great engineering in my opinion.
- lack of a yellow stripe seems like a missed opportunity to add more colour to the character and it is classic element
It has some extra weight in plastic and a little bit more engineering, but I don't think there is enough value for the money with this figure. I might buy it if it happens to hit a decent sale, but it doesn't really feel like an upgrade from Siege or Earthrise. It would be just trading one problematic figure for another. For people without an Ironhide it certainly is a viable option.
