Which set is that?
...it's been a while but I performed a shoot today and I think there may be some who are interested in this ONSLAUGHT of PHOTOS of UniqueToys: SHARKIES!!!

http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/...ps00c99f74.jpg
The next pictures shows all the parts that are extremely loose & very easy to loose; mileage may vary but all of the right shoulder-pads and the antennae on my set fall off/out regularly - it should also be noted that the guns do not have anywhere to store when in Beast mode...

- Plastic quality isn't all that bad, not the best employed by a 3rd Party group but definitely not the worst either. ;)
- The transformation is very easy, one just has to make sure that the Bot mode head doesn't get caught when folding the legs up into the torso. :)
- My set seems to have slightly loose left-arm elbow-ball joints, there is a sweet spot however. :o
It does feel that 1 or 2 more passes in the QC department would've eliminated these niggling issues and that's it - these figures are otherwise REALLY fun little G1 homages of the Sharkticons/Gnaw and I'd definitely recommend them. :D:cool:
I very much enjoyed scrolling through your shoot Hursticon :D:D Encore! Encore! Where's episode two?

iGear TFCon Roswell and Van Guardian. 'Review' here.
I finally pulled the trigger and bought Quakewave.... and he is an amazing figure!! Very pleased with him the only dilemma I'm having is wether or not to change his arm around so that the hose is underneath.
If you're not using the light feature, I'd say swap the arm. You can still choose hose on top or bottom, and you remove the switch and potentially delicate electronics. Plus, if you don't like it you can always swap it back. :)

Broke out caelus and he is all kinds of awesome
Feels pretty sturdy and quality of paint is great
I'm in love
When you say sturdy, is his plastic on par with FOC Grimlock? Or not as strong as that? Looks an awesome figure though :DQuote:

But the first thing I do with any new figure is check articulation and how loose joints are. This appears pretty tight and plastic fairly sturdy overall
But will need to do a more detailed inspection I.e. Play ;)
It was in comparison. As strong as his, or not.Quote:

Seems pretty decent then, the price is what's making me hold back on it. Hopefully he hits a small special soon.Quote:

Also this shiny,shiny MW-01C Spray as well. :D
http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...psf690467b.jpg
Ooh! :eek:
I'm REALLY tempted by that G2 Seaspray myself Cranky, you'll have to whack up some pics of him if/when you've got the time. ;):)
Will do hursti.:) so here are some pics of Spray and comparison to Hench

FansProjects Smart Robin
This thing is awesome, for one a figure that 100% lives up to the hype!
Transfomation is incredible and easy once you have done it once.

It's hard to focus on Smart Robin with the TV on. :pQuote:

@Kal_El: Great snaps dude, will he be getting a review? :cool:
Those look great. Really like that first robot pose on Spray...
Smart Robin looks solid.
Bit the bullet and bought this guy today.

God he looks good slag :)
I've still got mine sealed and in cardboard shipping box....I'm extremely tempted to bust this out sooner rather than later
I am pretty impressed. I didn't think i'd ever get the chance to own one. a bit more strength in the shoulders might of helped. I mean, they're strong and all, but they have to carry those massive forearms. I wanted to get a pic of him crushing g1 Misfire but the joint just wouldn't allow it. It would probably be fine with a limb bot..Quote:

G1 looks like his little baby brother. How tall is G1 Supreme exactly?! He looks pretty big, with Genesis being taller than a supreme himself by quite a bit.Quote:

Genesis is only a couple of inches taller measuring head to head, less so if you count the wings. It's just the sheer size of those forearms that impresses me the most.
just had to add one or two more pics in the "come at me bro" stance:p just for size comparison.
(plus i found out he has 6 little rotating turrets, 4 on the hips, 2 on the wings.
a nice touch)
