Huffer is a redeco of BH Trailcutter, which was a remould of RiD Ironhide, which was a miniature version of RiD Deluxe Kup :eek:. So it’s possible he may be the last we see of this mould getting used..... for now ;)
What can we say about this toy? The colouring and character description are very much an homage to the G1 Huffer character, but the vehicle mode does not really suit Huffer as much as it does Trailcutter. In that regard the PCC version of Huffer is far superior. Also his optics are very weird in robot mode – looks like a negative of Dame Edna Everage :p
He has an ok alt mode, which is essentially RiD Ironhide’s alt-mode with a bunch of spikes and a snowplow/cow catcher bunged on the front. Conversion is fairly simple and intuitive for a toy this size.
Worth getting? Well, to be honest I grabbed him simply because I was visiting the big city and was determined to find a couple of toys on the trip, and also my long-awaited Trailcutter figure had yet to arrive from Amazon (just turned up today :D). Otherwise it’s a very ‘if you feel like it’ character to grab. Not bad, but certainly to my mind the weakest use of the mould.
