Transformers Studio Series 86 22 Brawn review

                                                          

Aloha folks. I am back with another TF review. And today it is none other than Studio series 86 Brawn. With 86 Iron-hide released, it was a matter of time they released another one of the doomed autobot shuttle crew members. How does he fare, let's get started!

Boxing/Contents.

Brawn rushing into battle like he did in the film, however with disatrous results. Included is the backdrop which includes the hole in the shuttle artwork which caused Brawn to rush into battle. 

Standing tall

   

For the longest time, Igear Hench was my Brawn stand in. Not to mention, Hench was bigger than the other Hasbro releases. We finally got a Brawn from Hasbro that is more up to scale to his cartoon counterpart. Brawn for the most part is a very simple figure. He doesn't have a waist swivel which can be a negative aspect to some people. However, he looks great overall. The paint is spot on. He is small though and today we are nearly paying 25-30 bucks for something that was pretty much 10 dollars a decade ago. He does have a head swivel but thanks to the back head rest, it might be tough for your fingers to squeeze in to twist it. No biggie, you can pull his chest place out which in turn also brings forth his head out and then you can twist it with ease. He plays very simple as I have stated and he can do some fairly decent poses. His tire on his back can pop off which allows you to store his gun. Or you can just plug his gun into that tire hole. 

Alt mode

Surprisingly, this mode is very easy to transform into. You plug his gun into that tire of his and you can move the wheel actually to spin the gun around. Last, its not a problem for me but as you can see, there is the mushroom like peg wheels which some folks detest. I guess we have 3rd party to the rescue for this.

Conclusion:

Very easy to play with and Brawn is here to complete your 86 line. Colors are great on him. I guess he just have a minor swivel issue in his robot mode once again, but thanks to that head rest of his its easily rectified by pulling his chest down. I don't have much to say here because he is simple as I stated. He isn't terribly wobbly like ER Tracks, nor is he light like some of the recent releases. 86 Ratchet is up next. Until then, see you soon.
