Toy Review - Beast Hunters Legion Abominus

[Omega Metro]

I've had these for a few months. They are crap. Combined mode is questionable to say the least. And they feel like they are going to snap when transforming them as joints are very tight. Shame they are not deluxe size.

Maybe you got a bad set because the joints on mine aren't tight at all. In fact Hun-Grr's could be tighter. It would make Abominus less floppy.

And these are being up scaled to deluxe size. We should see them next year. Although I'm not sure if they will still have the ability to "combine"

They won't be able to. They've removed the connectors

It's interesting, I don't think I've seen a photo yet that has blot transformed as a leg, the same way I do.
I'll have to post up a picture when I get some time.

It's possible that they have moved the pegs to the centrebot and left peg holes on the two arm figures.

For me, I like this set as the individual toys are reasonably good and solid Legion Class figures on their own. The fact that they can combine is a bonus. I wouldn't go so far as to say that the combining gimmick is an afterthought, because figures like Hun-Gurrr, Blight and Rippersnapper do have several features that explicitly serve to allow for combination and also affect the rest of the engineering of the toys; whereas Twinstrike and Windrazor pretty much just have pegs on the inside of their legs that allow them to attach. But I do agree that this isn't an excellent gestalt, even by the standards of the size/price point. ROTF Legends Devastator was a much better designed gestalt for this scale, and especially considering the challenge of translating one of the most complex CGI models (that burnt out ILM's computers) into a little toy -- what HasTak were able to pull off with that toy continues to impress me.

But for $7 each, I think these toys are worth it for the individual figures alone; but if the gestalt form bugs you that much, just don't ever combine them. What I can't help wondering is if whether or not this toy will become the next Monstructor (and the JP repaint the next Dino King); i.e. toys that garnered relatively little favour at the time of their release but end up being more high demand (and thus w/ massively inflated prices) on the secondary market years from now. But one difference I've noticed is that whereas the Pretender Monsters were never exactly hot items, these Legion Class figures ('cept Twinstrike) seem to be flying off shelves and are incredibly hard to find -- especially Blight, Rippersnapper and Windrazor!

All 5 Terrorcons will be available in the next wave, along with Jet Vehicon

Do you know how many Jet Vehicons per case?, he'll be quite hard to find especially when most of us want to army build.
