Toy Review - AoE Deluxe Crosshairs

[GoktimusPrime]

About 2 weeks ago I asked for help regarding the final step of the transformation, then just last week I asked again, but so far nobody seems able to help. I guess nobody's been able to figure out what I've been talking about, so I'll post some pics later about the problem I'm having.

Wish I had waited to find him a bit cheaper ($35 at Toyworld in Bendigo )

Paid $20 for all my AoE Deluxes.

It's like that awful song from 3 years ago "Sexy and I know it"

All you have to do is "Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle, Yeah!"


Wish I had only paid $20, but you are aware of my relative locality remoteness and the family tragedies that have been going on Gok, so the trip to Bendigo was in part to cheer me up so I was willing to pay the silly amount of $35 as a moral booster to myself

Is the toy squatted like that even out of the packaging? can it stand straight? Just curious is all. Admittedly though I'm only after the dinobots figures for this line.

He stands a modicum straighter but not by much.



I think if they had coloured the underside of his car roof black as well as the insides of his arms the cape motif would have worked a lot better.

I think the 'cape' is just a poor excuse. The designers had no idea what to do with that big chunk of plastic so just called it a cape.

I gotta agree with that. If it was just Crosshairs alone that had huge panels of hood/roof/boot kibble I'd probably think differently but these simple transformations they're aiming for makes for a lot of roof kibble on several figure's backs.

Possible solution, the elbows are double jointed and need to be in a Z shape for car mode. Let me know if it helps.

Ha! Glad I'm not the only one that initially had issues getting this guy into car mode I almost rage quit him

Correct...Thankyou....It doesn't feel like you should be able to as the joint is quite tight but the black part of the arm can fold into a Z shape

Gok...see my pics for how it should look. Oncee it looks like my pic the front tab still requires a bit of a twist and a wiggle to lock in

Tada!

I believe the instructions also say to take the pistol guns out of the side parts of his coat but ive left them in and been able to transform him into car mode so they can be stored there.

I find it's easier to peg the forearms into the 'cape flap things' before pushing the bonnet altogether - a different order to the instructions, but it just wouldn't peg any other way.
