I got that toy a few months ago. Sadly, I got tired of the mold pretty quickly. The alt mode is unusual, but the transformation and robot mode are nothing to write home about imo. A bit too generic.

I love him, the Alt mode is good, the scuba outfit, while strange on a robot is good, and he's fun to play with.

I dunno seing it in person is like...made me pass on him, I had him in my hand but in the shelves back he goes. :(

I'm in a battle at the moment. Ulladulla toyworld has him but I don't know if I can pay $55 for him.... Ooooh but I wants my precious so bad:p:D

I put one on lay-by last night. The first time I've ever put a Transformer on lay-buy since 1987 (Headmaster Horrorcons)!! :o

The most disappointing thing when I saw the toy was that name tag... I think it might have been jaydisc who posted an image (or link to image) of HFTD SeaspraySea Spray with the photoshopped "Hi, my name is RAY" name tag. Cos it really DOES look like that!! :o (OoO)

Personally I'm classifying this toy as movieverse cos HFTD seems to be part of the movieverse line (haven't seen it on other toys like PCCs).

Does it float in the bath tub like my yellow rubber ducky? If not, I will pass!

Price and space are my main concerns, its great to see a new mold though. He dosen't interest me all that much, if he was a scout I'd buy.

I just adore my Seaspray. I hadn't been collecting any of the Universe or ROTF Voyagers except for Bludgeon, but after getting him I see the appeal in this size class now.

Ever since seeing him at a fanmeet (thanks again to Griffin), I'd been waiting for him. He looks great with most scouts, and its a good way to display two figures at once, but he looks fantastic in robot mode too, so I'll probably pick up another on clearance.

I just hope they keep doing more G1 homages like this. Very cool

G1 homage aside, what are the other redeeming features of this toy for its rather hefty price tag?
