I've loved all the Predacons in the BH line so far ("stand up and fiddle with limbs" transformations don't bother me and I really dig mechanical beasts, especially dragons and gryphons) so I had to get this guy.

He's good. I like the colours, I like the face sculpt and general details. I like the proportions in robot mode, though gryphon mode is a little beefy in places. Blackbeak sucks but what can you do.

I like the toy. I do, but I really, really (really!) wish he had more tabs and clicks and locks. In robot mode, his entire upper body just kind of... sits. It's more or less held to together by gravity and favour of the gods. It works as long as you don't play with him, but his whole upper assembly will come apart at the slightest provocation. Even the lock of the beak onto the chest feels coincidental rather than by design.

Shame really, he's otherwise one of my favourites of the line so far.
