Toy Review - TFSS Spinister

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Waitasec, you mean the guns don't join together anymore? But Scoop's did.
Gots ta admit that I don't like the shape of this helicopter mode for an attack chopper.


On top of, I think I remember the two renders for his head not looking so derpy when they had the poll out for his eyes. I'll stick with my G1 Spinister for now.

No, it's ok.... Trev just forgot.... Sent him a pic from seibertron gallery today and it all came flooding back....

Just collected mine from the post office, initial thoughts now, maybe photos later.

He's using the Alpha BlaTex mould, so no surprises there, half painted visor as eyes looks weird, but that was voted for so I guess I'm in the minority that'd have preferred full visor.

Colours are amazing, very close to the last Timelines Vortex from the Tomahawk mould, under my odd desk lighting the greens look almost identical, purple just a little deeper, and the pink a little darker, more magenta. I really like how the colour is broken up across his upper half too, magenta core, purple outer and upper arms down to the green lower arms.

As a toy, I think the older Timelines Spinister comes out on top here, awesome transformation, articulation and missile launches, but he is very green and pink, not much purple, which is why I think colour wise TFSS Spinister's mould design was a good choice for the colour layout. I have given Timelines Spinister the Generations Spinister targetmaster from Legends Nemesis Prime for giggles.

QC-wise, the tail rotor part wasn't connected firmly, and there's a lot of paint wear at the joint, but luckily not that visible when the tail is attached properly. Haven't noticed anything else out of the ordinary.

What vote????

What vote????

The club did a poll on twitter way back in August and fans debated it on the global fansites... but I didn't note the result, as the Club toys often have late changes, so the eye version could have gone either way anyway.

Ahhhh..... First week of new job, first week away from civilisation.... (In Sydney, but before iPad and laptop were issued...)

Hmmmm.... 52 teal, 72 black.... Hahahahahahahaha.....

So they didn't adhere to the result of the poll... which was why I didn't bother to follow it.
