Toy Review - CW Sky Lynx

[SuspectimusPrime]

He's very sturdy in torso mode, and the sculpt + colour of the feline head is perfect (unfortunately, much better than his normal shuttle/bird head). Would be really cool to get some other Season 3 Autobots to combine with - the Autobot Clones + Jumpstarters would be perfect colour-wise.

Got him from Kmart last night after price matching with Myer. Asked the clerk nicely, showed him Myer's online catalogue and even mentioned the sale price for "$34.95" twice. Guy still chose to ignore me, and apathetically enter the price match price for $24.95... :/ Who am I to tell a guy how to do his job?

Found this guy yesterday at Shellharbour TRU. He's nice. As a Sky Lynx fan it's good to finally see him get some proper love.

My version is pretty loose. Definitely gonna crack out the floor polish.

While I too would have liked a leader class Sky Lynx, the combiner gimmick meant it was never possible. That said, I do like the torso mode.

The only real issue I have with this guy is the price. I paid full TRU price which was $50. There is no way this guy is worth $50. But that is not a complaint I have with Sky Lynx, it is a complaint I have with retail TFs in general. If not fo rthe fact I really want this guy, I would have left him there.

So recommended? Yes, but not for $50.

Edit: I just voted on the poll for this thread and am surprised to see that I'm the only person that voted "Only if cheap".

Still can't find this guy anywhere I've given up.

finally got around to actually setting Sky Lynx up as a combiner with my orphan-limb bots as I never got the last two Dlx Autobot waves because I liked my existing representations of those characters.

Wasn't too impressed over all



Legs were quite loose, especially his left, and the arm ports tab in only from Sky Lynx' rear feet, and it's not a very deep/firm tab, so it's a little looser than Hot Spot's chest piece joint...

Don't get me wrong, I mostly like the way he looks (apart from almost no neck) - that Lynx face is perfect, and it's a pretty interesting way to turn a long necked quadrupedal mechanical nightmare creature into a relatively workable combiner torso... could have done a few things better though.

I floor polished a few of the looser joints on mine the other day. Places like the wing extensions and ankles and he is much better now. It could probably do with another coat on the wing extensions but I couldn't be bothered pulling it apart again.

I have no intention of ever using my Sky Lynx as a gestalt (although I might try it at least once when I'm bored enough just for the heck of it ). But I do intend on getting Lio Kaiser and displaying that in gestalt form, so I do hope that they address this issue by time they get around to retooling it. Although knowing Hasbro, I wouldn't hold my breath.
