Toy Review: Transformers Takara Tomy Legends LG25 Titans Return Blurr

Image
                                                             Aloha. I finally decided to open up a deluxe figure legends (Titan returns) figure. I chose Blurr whom I will compare to the IDW Generations Blurr and discuss a few other things. Without delay, let's get started! Box and Packaging.         What Takara packaging isn't complete without a Manga? I was actually happy to see Blurr reminisce about the time he left Cybertron with Kup and Rodimus Prime (Japanese version of Headmasters). From that point on, I had no idea what was going on. I could see that Shockwave is apparently disguising himself as an Autobot and then Blurr takes on Galvatron later. However, thanks to TFwiki, here is the full story:  Legends Comic: Bonus edition Vol 25 . As an addition to the comic, included is th...

Toy Review: Takara Tomy Transformers Unite Warriors Computron aka Computicon UW-08 2 of 2! Combiner wars UW Computron

Aloha folks, the final portion of the Computron review has arrived. After I was astounded by the individual figures, does his combine form hold up or is it a let down? Let's get started! Computing....       This guy rocks! Not only is Computron eye candy, he is built very well. He stands now, imo, the best of all the combiners released. If you read all my previous Unite Warriors review, most of the time, majority of the figures have trouble standing, Menasor being the worst of all.  You have to adjust little to none to make him sturdy. Did I mention, he is easy on the eyes as well? I love how you can place most of his weapons to combine one big weapon. A very big step up from the Combiner wars version. I love how Takara also tweaked his chest from Superion's to give him the computing look. If Takara added electronic effects to his chest, then Computron would be perfect! He still has the normal Hands, Guns, and Feet (HFG) but no problem f...

Toy Review: Takara Tomy Transformers Unite Warriors Computron aka Computicon UW-08 1 of 2! Combiner Wars

Happy New Year folks, I finally decided to get off my butt to shoot the long-awaited Computron. By now he is probably old news. I had him in storage since late Aug/early September. Was he worth that wait? Or should he had stayed in the box? Without delay, let's get to each individual Technobots. Packaging and Out of the box       The artwork is amazing! I love how Nosecone is drilling himself out of the ground as if he was a ground version of a humpback whale. It also reminds of me of the old TMNT days where the Shredder and his henchmen would use their transport modules to resurface from the underground. Love how Afterburner is popping a wheelie as well. As for the comic, it is Grimlock's birthday. As a refresher course, Grimlock gave birth (not literally) to the Technobots in the cartoon. Grimlock lost his infinite wisdom by giving it to Computron who utilized the data to incapacitate Abominus, a Decepticon combiner. Dirk Manus (G1 ...
