You don't find that parts of this toy tend to get in the way when you're playing with it? I find that the lower leg panels on mine are prone to coming apart during play. I'm talking about proper "real time" toy play, and not slow and deliberate fiddling or action posing.
That's what I was referring to when I said, "Visually Slog looks suitably bulky...", but I was too tired at the time to describe it properly as you have.It's somewhat reminiscent of what Takara did with Binaltech Grimlock. But of course, BT Grimmie is a die cast metal toy, so he has both size and weight! It makes BT Wheeljack look like he's on 'roids though (hence why I display my BT Grimmie in robot mode and Wheeljack in vehicle mode
).
I do like how the front legs of the dinosaur mode also similarly 'bulk out' as well, to make them not just look like robot arms.
I must give HasTak credit for taking the effort to ensure that Slog wouldn't be another "stand up" transforming quadrupeds. While transforming the legs can be a bit fiddly, it's a lot more satisfying than just having the robot legs become the hind legs of the dino mode. Although the lower leg panels could've been more secure with just an additional tab on each leg to help lock it in tighter. I noticed that they did the same with TF Prime Voyager Predaking, although IMHO Predaking does it gooderer.Like Maruten, I got this toy at TRU's sale price of $35, which is fine. But I don't know if I would recommend paying a full $50 for this toy.
Evidently a person who enjoys seeing chest-beating robots. This is by far the single greatest point of contention for me about this toy. I can overlook the other 'flaws', but the elbow thing bugs me the most.Originally Posted by Zommael
