Toy Review - The Last Knight Barricade (Deluxe)

[GoktimusPrime]

We all know what TRU's attitude is like when it comes to pricing...

[Sinnertwin]

Legends are the same at TRU and Kmart: $8.
Deluxes are 0.99c dearer at TRU than they are at Target.(Kmart is still the cheapest at $29)
Voyagers are 0.99c dearer at TRU than they are at Kmart.
Hardly exorbitant prices.

I initially made that meme in reference to their pricing for the TakTOM MPs. $35 for TLK Deluxes is pretty darn steep. But yeah, their prices for most other stuff is alright. And sometimes their prices are actually pretty good, like with the original Hasbro MP3 and MP Soundwave & Cassettes.

Fairly happy with this guy. I tend to keep his backpack off all the time though, even when I'm not using it as the riot shield.

I may be imagining things, but I think some of the sculpted detail on this guy and Beserker is much sharper than we've seen from Hasbro figures in a long time. The detailing on his waist is particularly impressive - not sure if it's just the colour choice or if they've started using a new mold process.

I also think it's super-neat that not only do his weapons store on his hips, but his hands are at the right level that he can actually grab them from there. Unlike some Soundwaves that can't even push their own eject button, for example...

Way better than the first boxy one!

I'm disappointed in this guy. His robot mode is a bit too squat - which wasn't obvious how much in packaging. I found the transformation of the arms, particularly the shoulders lining up with the hips, annoyingly tight. I do like the cop car mode but that's about it. Maybe he'll grow on me.

I wonder why his knuckle dusters don't say the old Punish & Enslave?

He still wears "to punish and enslave" on his car mode.

If I hadn't watched the video that shows how to click the shoulders back one notch, I would have had a lovely collection of Barricade pieces and plaster.
