Toy Review - Titans Return Metalhawk

[ComradeRenko]

I like the figure a lot but I do have an issue with the paint job, especially in vehicle mode. Across the figure are at least six different shades of red. Red plastic, translucent red, red paint on translucent red, red paint on blue plastic, red paint on gold plastic and red paint on silver paint on blue plastic. The resultant lack of uniformity that makes the figure look a tad busy. The most noticeable difference between the guns and everything else. The blue of the shoulder is also different from the blue of the forearm, but this difference is a lot less than the differences in the reds. These paint differences are also visible in Robot mode, but with the wings folded away don’t stand out as much.

I've loved Metalhawk since I first saw Masterforce. The Pretender shell Botcon toy was garbage but this guy is really great. But you'd need to be a hardcore Metalhawk fan to justify either buying him separately or getting the set just for him, yeah.

I first saw Masterforce in the early 90s in that god-awful dub. So I honestly thought that his name was Hook. Then I thought it was Hope. I never thought it was "Hawk" until after the internet came along. The pronunciation on the dubs are THAT bad.
