Aloha Folks, I am back with another TF review, this is the first for the new year. And it is none other than Studio series 86/Studio Series Windcharger. How does he fare, well, lets get started!


Boxing

Wind-C01 Wind-C02 Wind-C03 Wind-C04 Wind-C05 

Your new boxing and standard content. No scenic backdrop anymore. I love how the back of the box states that WC uses his magnetic powers to fight off the Decepticons. Only if we got to see this old timer go out fighting in the movie. Forgive me as well, I think most of the pics turned out ok. I did buy a new Canon lens to shoot Bokeh style. I think some pics turned out a little soft but otherwise did the job. I finally got a tripod as well after all these years and still adjusting to it. It works really well with the Bokeh lens.

Windcharger

Windcharger out of the box. I really liked the Power of the Primes version years ago, but I think this version now takes the cake. He does look more blue and I think the POTP version was a little too grey. He has all types of swivel except for wrist. You can do some fairly neat posing with him and all. As far as positives go, he is pretty fun to play with. He comes with his magnetic effect plus a simple gun. You actually store the gun, besides in his hand, on the back of his heinie. No joke. His magnetic effect can either be placed on the front of his chest or on his back. I really dig how nicely colored he looks once again.

I did, however, have some negative thoughts though. It might be minor but its here nonetheless. First off, I think I share the same sentiment with some Tf fans that he has this weird looking flap feet. Its hollow when you look inward. And it really makes him have this weird and huge looking gap.  This looks really awkward as you fidget with him. Also, not much of a big deal but his knee joints are very tight. It isn't bad but it isn't good either. Somewhere in the middle I guess. And this doesn't bug me a whole lot but he is almost 30 dollars now. For his class, this hobby is getting expensive. I just had to say it because, well, we just got there.

Transformers the Movie moment.

I am tired of carrying your drunk butt home.


Alt mode.


Wind-C19 Wind-C20 Wind-C21 Wind-C22 Wind-C23 Wind-C24

Surprisingly, this mode is fairly simple to get to. I didn't need instructions but it did take me a bit to lock some of the mechanisms in place. I did had to look at the manual to see where you store the gun. It's below his rear wheels. Could had made it more exhaust like imo. 

Conclusion


I don't know if Windcharger is worth 30 dollars but he is a good figure overall. Just don't, or try not to mind the weird flap heels he has. He is a nice representation of the 86 line and he is fun to toy with. I hope we do get Wheeljack at one point or maybe the devastation one is the one we need to collect. I dunno. Anyhow, see you folks. And Jesus loves you. Turn to him.

Now he is deluxe class

Happy 400th post: Transformers Studio Series 86 31 Optimus Prime Review!

  Aloha folks, welcome to the 400th post of this blog and today's feature is none other than the Autobot leader Studio series 86 Optimus Prime. Without delay, let's get started! Boxing and Contents You get this nice artwork of OP springing into action after he runs over Thrust and Shrapnel. You get a backdrop of this scene and you get the weapon/laser/blast effects along with his trailer, roller, drone and the awesome looking rifle of his. Figure also included.  "Our Leader is back"  Initially, I wasn't too impressed with how the internet displayed his window colors. It look like the typical light blue we've been introduced to countless of times. Now having the figure up close, I like the darker metallic blue the figure displays. I wasn't a big fan of his white color thighs as I usually deal with his grey colored adaptations, but I got used to it. You get his battle axe from his More than Meets the Eye episode so that is ...

Transformers Legacy United Cosmos review

-

At long last, after a year of no Transformer toy review. A Transformer has crash landed amid this blog: Transformers Legacy United Cosmos! Box Art and Contents I thought it was hilarious his gun and flag came in a sandwich like wrapper. That's a nice side panel design though I have no idea who most of those Transformers are. Standing Tall   Cosmos is a thing of a beauty. Nicely designed and well handled. Poses very well. Has a waist swivel surprisingly. Honestly, from the first glance, it didn't look like he had one. Cosmos is probably the first TF that you will have fun posing him with a flag rather than a war weapon.  UFO Also probably the only Transformer in history to have a somewhat awkward mode: UFO style! Not complaining. You were probably sick and tired of playing with all those cars and planes at this point right? Any how,  you can see that he is the size of your palm roughly. Fairly easy transformation mode that my nephew could do it wi...

Transformers Legacy United Gears pics and review

  Aloha folks, I am back with another TF review. This time it is Legacy United Gears. I had him a while back but I opened him up last month when I was on my trip to the Big Island of Hawaii but never had the time to complete the pics, editing, and review until now. Without further delay, let's get started! Boxing I'm not sure why his chest piece comes separate. I thought it was possibly to prevent theft as Transformers wiki seems to feel the same way. You can't use it as a shield or anything but it is used as a homage to which I get to in the next category. Gears comes tied in a generic backdrop Hasbro tend to use these days in which I tend to toss afterwards. If it was done in the 86 studio series caliber, I definitely keep it. Comes with his blaster as well.  Gears ( Big Island of Hawaii hotel pics)     So this is the figure in a jiff. I always thought he looked like some kind of cog like machine probably hence the name Gears. I found it awkward at fi...
