MATRIX WORKSHOP M-91 Weapon Upgrade Kit For SS86 Snarl Sword Gun Shoulder missile review

Image
  Aloha folks, I am back with the final Dinobot upgrade and the final post of the year of 2025. So without further delay, here is Matrix Workshop M-91 weapon upgrade for Snarl. Lets get started! Dinobot mode So this kit comes with an extra sword, rifle, and shoulder missile; more like Tricep missile. In Dino mode, there isn't much places to store his weapons. I'm not sure why but its weird that MW did not include a 5mm tab on the side of his sword handle like how Slag had. So you can only store it vertically which also doesn't hold in place that well. His triceps become the hips in this mode so that is the only storage solution on this mode along with his back 5mm port. Use your imagination.  Robot mode.   So now Snarl can wield dual swords. The sword MW gives here fits his hands better than Sludge. It's also longer than the Hasbro one. So poor Sludge getting the weak legs from Hasbro and a hard to clasp weaponry from MW. It's nice he was finally includ...

Matrix Workshop M-59 Backpack sword Weapon Tail Upgrade Kit For SS86 Slag Review

Aloha folks, I am back with another TF upgrade review: Matrix Workshop M-59 Backpack sword Weapon Tail Upgrade Kit For SS86 Slag. Once again found on Ebay as my vision to upgrade all the Dinobots to make sure they all have at least a gun and a sword. Without further delay, let's get started! Content wise: The package consists of a sword, another gun/rocket launcher type weapon, a tail filler, and a mini backpack to store your weapons.  In Dino mode, the sword is pretty much weight and adds no real value in this mode besides placement for storage. The tail filler shines the best in this category because now you can use the mini back pack to house weapons on his back. It's nicely done. If it's your forte, you can use the tail as a weapon as well. And then the hilarious thing is you can plug his other weapons into his tail area. Including the sword though there is no peg for it so it fits very loosely.   Now this is where the weapons make a difference. Starti...

Transformers Toys Studio Series Leader Class SS-111 (86-19) Dinobot Snarl Review

  Aloha folks! Once again I am back with another TF review. This time it's Snarl! The Dinobot that had less than one minute of screen time in the TF 86 flick. How does this guy fare? Let's get started! Boxing Ever since the Power of the Primes line, I never picked up any Japanese Transformers since their releases were pretty much the same as the western ones. This went good for my wallet in the past few years. However, I missed the pre-orders for Snarl on Amazon.com. Like lightning, this guy went out quick. As of today, it seems like a bunch of people are still struggling to get this guy during the course of this review.  I recently went on a trip to Japan and there I saw the Japanese release of Snarl in Osaka! Of course, I didn't hesitate to pick him up. He was pricier but thanks to the strong U.S. Dollar, I was able to pick this guy up roughly for the same $55 this guy originally went for here in the west. So any one traveling to Japan will have better luck pi...
