Great figure, and I mean as a Joe. A hi-tech vehicle specialist is perfect for the 'modern' team. 8 out of 10.

Wow, what an impartial review. You basically state that you think it's a wasted figure so instead of reviewing it based on the figure itself, you review it based on your personal view of if it should have been made.
I want to know as a figure, is it on par with others that are made, is it weaker. Do the accessories stand out, etc.. I don't want a review that says "it shouldn't have been made". I think it's a cool looking figure. Hell, don't think of it as Matt Trakker, think of it as G.I.Joe Heli-Trooper or something and give a review based on that.

Why does he have a choker collar on. (other then being a bitch).
Why does the collar extend down low in the crouch (so it can get snaged on something and kill him?) why does his gear/pack not fit on his back flush? Why does the pack have a gun if it can only face the rear when its on him? And if the pack doesent fit on flush he cant hold the arm control in his hand with out forceing it because his arms at the elbow barely move at all? I was looking foward to this figure but after getting one i would say its a 2/10 and it will most deffinatly become a custom annihilator to add to destros army. |

Why argue about a number? The review itself doesn't read that biased to me. Sure Eopie says he wished a different figure was made, but he also gave praise where he felt it was deserved. The whole second paragraph is 99% stated fact about what the figure is.

Because better numbers have gone to worse looking figures?
Or that the review wasn't anywhere near the quality of others? It's obvious from reading that Eopie was biased in his assessment of the figure. Where's the detail that we're used to? Most reviews are at least twice that long and twice that detailed.

The 4 is lame, you basically say the figure is great, then it gets a low score cause you don't like MASK? That's silly. That doesn't effect the figure score.

It's his opinion. I haven't agreed with all of his ratings, and so I made my own. If you folks do the same, you'll have much less problems.

I loved M.A.S.K. as a kid. I even wanted Miles Mayhem and Cobra Commander to team up. This was quite a surprise when I heard he was being made. I'll buy him most likely, just out of nostalgia, but then I'll probably rip him apart for custom fodder. The head is just awesome looking. The body might make a better Ace than Ace's body.
Gripes: 1. The chest armor looks awful, I would have rather seen him with just the simple straps like the 1st version. This looks like a cross between the one that came with the Thunderhawk and the one that came with the Rhino. AND of course the single pack one that came with the heli-pack. 2. Why is this heli-pack painted in the same colors as Brad Turner's Condor motorcycle/helicopter? Another homage? Why not make it that reddish orange like the Thunderhawk? Or a nice normal grey? I can't use this for anyone else unless I paint it. Probably when Destro's Annihilators come out they'll most likely have this same pack. Hopefully with better guns. 3. His "Mask" looks horrible, maybe when I see it in person I'll like it a little better... But, I loved that helmet. It was freakin' ICONIC. This doesn't bring back the same memories of the time of Gobots, Centurions, Transformers and Thundercats. 4. Where are the other characters? Why not release Miles Mayhem at the same time at least? What am I supposed to do with ONE M.A.S.K. figure that doesn't even have the gimmick of coming with a vehicle that changes into another goofy looking vehicle with more guns on it? These characters don't even have code names really, do they even fit in with my Joes? I really can't see Matt Trakker hanging out with Flint, Hawk, and Duke as easily as I could when I was 9 or 10. 5. This guy's main deal was that he was also a "single father" for some reason. His annoying kid and the kid's robot were getting into "mischief" all the time... I'm scared that a Scott and T-BOB comic 2 pack is in my future. Although for some strange reason I want one now... Damn you nostalgia!! I don't want to see T-BOB fighting Battle Android Troopers. Please. No. Last edited by In Like Flint; 11-08-2008 at 06:11 PM.. |
