I knew the combined form integrity/solidity was no issue, as long as there's a bit more budget room. Hasblow you have gone all the way to suck up to the fans in giving us a G1-inspired Devy who kids nowadays have now idea about. Couldn't you share just a little bit more of your profit with us so poor'ol Scrapper and Long Haul can have proper elbows? It's been a looong time since a modern Transformer toy this size to not have elbow joints. Heck them legends figures have now as standard issue.
I can deal with the Hasbro retail version not having G1 weapons, and not having the awesome visor gimmick, but I'd hate to look at this version and say to myself: man there's another version out there that doesn't feel like it's engineered 20 years ago.
And the timing could not be perfect. With the regular Devy just around the corner, I know I'll definitely be a sucker and pick it up and then hating myself for doing so:p
