Pros:
Nice sculpt
Nicely detailed paint apps

Cons:
Limbs can pop off easily
Arms don't tab in tightly; prone to untabbing in weapon mode

Overall:
This toy is designed to be a Targetmaster-like accessory for the larger Terrorcons, but lacking the stability of the Battle Masters. Recommended only if you're looking to complete the line, otherwise an easy pass.

This thing is trash.

Ok, the design is cool and paint looks nice. But it does not hold together in alt modes, and has the loosest ball joints I have ever experienced.
Freezer's legs and shoulder just fall off instead of moving.

I am going to paint the balls with superglue to try and salvage my $15.

Avoid.

I recommend using something like Fix-Loose-Joints Action Figures, clear nail polish or floor polish to tight joints over superglue. Or you could just sell it as is. There probably would be someone who'd want to buy it to complete all the screen cast of the movie. That's honestly why I bought it, and in my review, I would only recommend getting this toy for that purpose. Cos yeah, otherwise you're gonna be in for a bucket of disappointment.

Freezer as a shoulder cannon for Scourge

In the limited experience I have had with this figure so far, I agree. I opened it, then had to crawl around finding all of the limbs that popped off, quickly realised the thing was wet spaghetti, and put it on a shelf.

I'll revisit the thing once I get Scourge.

UPDATE -- I did all the body ball joints. They are now tight and no longer fall off. Makes the figure actually poseable. Alt modes are still rubbish tho. Really only bought this for integration with Scourge's alt mode, and I dont even like that. Looks better in photos.

Only have clear nail polish & superglue. The polish is good for joints that need only a little tightening. Superglue is for bulking up super loose joints. I go heavy and then use fine sandpaper to reduce as required.

Couldn't agree more.
