Toy Review - Generations Skids

[heroic_decepticon]

Thank you!

So basically this toy comes with misassembled hips. Your leg configuration also helps a lot, and I noticed that it actually locks into place that way too, whereas the official (i.e. according to the instructions and stock images) configuration doesn't. So this may be another "authorial intent" feature that was glossed over in the instructions and official photography.

P.S.: I trust you won't mind if I share your QC fix link with others?

ah, great that it helped.

From what I hear, not all Skids' comes with misassembled hips, but most of them do.

Happy for the fixes to be shared, no problem

Brilliant toy, perfect representation of the character and a very well designed toy that looks all the better for the extra weaponry, the last toy I felt that was this armed to the teeth was Cybertron Defense Hot Shot.

Wonderful figure, okay comic that comes with it and easily the best figure to be released in the revamped generations line.

Love this guy. Lots of weapons and a comic accurate robot mode. Details are spot on and his gimmicks are quite non intrusive. My only complaint is the colour, which is more of an aqua green than the bright sky blue that I expected, though it is darker and suits the character more. Lots of different little changes you can make to suit your preferences as well, such as the windscreen, wings, and weapons. There are some balance issues, but those can be remedied with the fixes above.

Alt mode is great as well, very clean and the front's paint details are superb.

Definitely recommended.

Folding those doors down at the end of his transformation to Alt mode feels a bit dangerous. I was preparing for one of those gull-wing joints to pop out or snap.
