Ok, so last week I bought myself a Soundwave and I already sounded off about it once or twice. Today, I figured I'd give Skids a try...
I swear, I'm either completely retarded or these are maybe the worst made toys. I can't get it to get back to car form. I can get it back, but it's just not right. I'm not too big to admit I don't know what the hell I'm doing, so I busted out the instructions and they're done so poorly. They may have actually screwed me up in the first place. I honestly think I'm going to break this while transforming it. Not only because nothing "fits", it's cheap as shit! Plus, when he's in robot form, he can't stand. He's too back heavy and his legs buckle. These are HORRIBLE! I was going to get Devastator and maybe a few others, but I don't think I'll even buy another Transformer as long as they're made like this. If you were contemplating buying any of these, save your money for ROC figures. I know I will, and I don't even like the ROC figures. That's how bad these are. |

There are a lot of good reviews that show how to Transform them properly. Much better than relying on the crappy instructions sheet.

I just got it, thanks. I really hope this isn't the future of Joes too.. The quality between the last movie figs and these figures is noticably worse. I'm seriously not going to buy anymore of these. I'm so afraid it's gonna break.

However there's a part on his chest that is really hard to Transform. Everyone I know who has him have all complained about the fear of breaking the toy when they get to Transforming the chest area. But they discovered there is a trick to it. Again you can see how to do it properly on a You tube video.

Yea, that Prime looks great. I really like Ironhide too. I wish they made him in a Leader Class. That would be too awesome.

I wish they didn't give old Ironhide that shitty paint job with the NEST logo on the side.
Unfortunately he's just a repaint of the TF1 toy. The new addition to the leader class family for the TF2 toys will be Starscream.. Should be interesting.

I just opened up Skids as well. And he definitely is one of the worst out of this line. I like a lot of the others(Prime/Fallen/Sideswipe), but something about this figure just sucks. Not to mention the movie design isn't that great to begin with. As well as Mudflap. But like you said he doesn't really stand, the back kibble sucks big time. Idk, just thought this guy would be alot cooler. I think I might leave him in car mode and pick up, either the Robot Replica version or wait for the Human Alliance version to come out.

The joe figures are higher quality than the 25th.
I need a new SRO, because when I was taking his legs apart for my SAW viper custom. The threads got stripped. Some of the 25th figures are extremely poor quality. But the joe movie figures are definitely good quality. I haven't had any issues with them or the Cobra Island figures. |
