Finally opened up the set that I gave to my son for Christmas and discovered 2 things.
1. We got hosed on Scarlett's crossbow. The set was missing the limb to attach to the barrel of the weapon. 2. Holy Hell, Powerglide is fuscia. I thought he was supposed to be more of a Crimson Guard dark red. The photo shoot pics and box pics look much darker. |

Yeah, I thought the same thing. He is a bit too close to the magenta / purple ish side. Not really dark red or crimson like I expected.
Also, on mine some of the silver paint flaked off. I'm going to have to get some spray paint and redo most of the paint to be sure it matches. |

I bought just Powerglide. Dudes pink. He was also covered in stress marks.
The stickers are also terrible. It still looks pretty cool.

The plastic does look weaker. |

I did the Cobra stickers, as I don't own a blue Rattler. The Cobra logos are too big, sit over the rivets and bubble.

Yeah this is seriously not the best. Mine had stress marks and a a wing is just slightly bent. I put the cobra stickers on, and used an Xacto knife to make cuts where it meets the sculpted features. I think it helps reduce the "tenting.". For lack of a better word.
It is still a neat toy and I am happy I got it, but it isn't a 5-star vehicle. Just a little more effort could have made all the difference. |

Just picked up a POWERGLIDE. It's terrible. The plastic is pink… am I seeing silver-flecks in it as well? The forward canon (mini gun) was bent upward. The tail exhaust is glued down, the stickers are bad, etc. Very disappointed they didn't revive the Thunderbolt instead, the whole Transformer thing is beyond me.

The most disappointing aspect of the set was the premium you pay for it as the SDCC exclusive and it is the same crappy QC issues you have with the regular stuff. I was expecting a "Crimson Rattler". At least the Club vehicles have been good quality for their premium price. (HAVOC II and SHARC repaint.)
