Thoughts
* The lighter grey doesn't look as nice as the darker grey on the original
* The joints on mine are much looser than on my original
* The pterosaur mode's head isn't loose and stays in place
* I wish that they'd omitted the gestalt hand in favour of a gun (even if it's identical to POTP Slag/Sludge's gun)

I really wish that the torso was red instead of blue
Oooohhh yyyeeeaaahh, the red chest on this toy just looks SO GOOD! :D
Standing next to my other CHUG Dinobots it feels like Swoop is finally sporting the team uniform. :) :D :cool:

I wonder if there's still the problem of the loose joint making the jaw fall open?

Not on mine. Everything else is loose though, but not the jaw.

Not the tightest joints, but it still does what it should. Really does look great IMO. Personally, I prefer the lighter shade of grey.
