![]() ![]() + looks like it should be a simple figure, but has a bunch of surprising stuff going on ![]() ankle side tilts are the "sawed off" style ![]() riot shield really should have had a handle that faces down so he can just hold it in his hand straight instead of having to plug it into the mace or hold it angled torso connection tab is more for alignment than locking down so it's easy to pop out of position (this doesn't really affect anything since other joints hold the chest in place, but it's annoying to feel it pop out while handling) on my sample, the minigun's mounting peg for the right shoulder is slightly too big, so it walks the peg out chest is very hollow, easy to see this through the big windows underside is open which looks bad from extreme angles, back not so great when shield is removed proportions don't really fit the Prime character, he's too classically tall and studly, not round and beefy + green paint matches well to the lighter green plastic + figure has great range of motion for the most part + minigun accessory is nicer than I expected, painting over a lot of the blue plastic makes it feel full of energy instead of just cheap, and it's cool that it pegs into the back to sit over the shoulder or can be hand-held + mace accessory is nicely sized and clips over either hand fully (it is side-specific so install it upside-down on the left hand), and sports three 5mm pegholes (the ones on the side are faux holes, that's why it's not 5 holes) + has the rear wheels behind the head and a few other touches as homage to the Prime character + nice overall sculpt and deco, nothing too detailed but it makes good choices in balance on both of those + great head sculpt, really captures the character likeness, and metallic blue eyes really pop + he's a big boy! he stands as tall as ER Optimus, and is bulkier (natch) He may not be an amazing interpretation, but he turns out to be a super fun figure. ![]() It was disappointing that they missed his signature round shape so badly, but the toy itself looked good in preview images so I held on and found him at Target a few days ago. Bulkhead is a character I like but am not so attached to that I was precious about this Legacy figure. ![]()
