Countdown to girls day 5 of 5: Power of the Primes Novastar review!

Aloha folks and welcome to the finale of the girls day segment. Today is Novastar! Without haste, let's get started!

Boxing and contents:

 

 

Not shown here is the manual. Quintus is Novastar's prime master but honestly don't care for this part.

Robot mode w/Moonracer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Novastar is molded off Moonracer. Not much difference except for color and the head. And of course, her gun is different but as a goodie you can merge her blaster with Moonracers rifle. Novastar also suffers the heavy backpack syndrome Moonracer had. With some patience you can land some decent poses. 

Countdown to girls day 3 of 5: Power of the Primes Moonracer review!

Aloha folks and welcome to part III of the countdown to girls day. Today we have none other than Moonracer of the Power of the Primes fame. Without haste let's get started.

Boxing

 

Out of the box. Comes with instructions and a card. Nothing too new here. Next!

Standing tall or not?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Moonracer appeared only in one episode in the original G1 series: The Search for Alpha Trion. She is known as the best sharpshooter in the entire galaxy.  Sadly, she doesn't have the best spine in the galaxy due to that heavy backpack of hers. Because of that she has trouble standing straight for the most part. Very frustrating that I had to use Windblade to hold her up at one point; I will point out the pic later on. Whatever pic or pose you can get out of her, snap it! It's probably the best pic you'll get. However, if you don't mind, you just need to bend her forward a little and you get some decent pics. The figure also comes with the POTP gimmick of the extra kibble (her leg or hand in combined mode) that you store Prime masters increasing certain attributes depending on the Prime master:  speed, strength, intelligence and so forth. Not interested in this gimmick so I didn't get any Prime masters.

Moonracer is a limb for any combiner whose feature will be touched upon in later girl's day review.

Countdown to girls day 2 of 5: Takara Tomy Transformers Legends Windblade LG62 Targetmaster review

Hello and welcome, today we have the famous Windblade on the countdown to girls day part II. Without haste, let's get started.

Box and Content

 

 

 





First off, Windblade is G1 through comic continuity and of the latest Generations timeline. I was mainly exposed to her due to her appearance in the Combiner Wars/Titans Return/Power of the Primes cartoon shorts. The Japanese version however retcons all this and makes her G1 overall due to her combining with Nijika from season 3. The comic explains also how she became a targetmaster. Here is the link:

Alt mode (with Headmaster)

 

 

 

Flash photography was used for some of these pics and they came out fairly well. I forgot to flip the turbines for this mode but I did shoot one pic of the turbines facing the way they are supposed to. Later on for this part. Also, transformation back and forth was very easy; Windblade is probably the easiest figure in this line to transform to robot mode and back. The shiny white nosecone is a nice touch as well. 

Pinpointer Targetmaster

 

 

 

 

Landing gear

Easy to play and transform but his head swivels in coordination with his waist. Basically, his waist swivel controls his head movement. Very awkward.
