What are your thoughts of Snarl's playability though? I don't mind Snarl as a display piece, and I think he looks great either alone and as part of the set of AOE Dinobots, but I find that there are a number of factors that hamper the toy's playability (being the core function of a toy). The hand/forearm design makes it impractical to do all sorts of arm/hand movements, which is further impeded by the rear spines unless you bring them closer together (but the official transformation has them fully opened).

A good looking toy is one thing, but IMO the substance lies in its play value. Having a toy that just looks nice but isn't fun to play with is like watching a movie with dazzling visuals but a lacklustre story.

Mine refuses to lock into place, even with excessive force. Looks like I lucked out w/ the QA.
