Toy Review - POTP LEG Dinobot Slash

[griffin]

Slash is definitely the standout from the first wave.

Even better than Jazz???

[tinyJazz]

ah yeah ok. I see now that you guys meant pack of wolves and not mindless swarm of leggy piranhas.

Even better than Jazz???

Honestly, not a high bar to beat!

Dino mode is a bit silly looking (arms too far apart, heard can't move down) and doesn't pose very well (not enough weight at the back) but isn't too bad, but robot mode is epic-slick, excellent articulation and good proportions + A+ head sculpt! I'm a big fan of her (even my beast-bots are in robot mode 80% of the time anyway)!

Yeah the dino mode is a bit crap - a huge gap in the ribcage. Considering MP Dinobots flaws it makes you wonder why exactly toy designers have trouble designing raptor ribs

I too like her bot mode, but considering the quality of the rest of the wave, the rib issue makes her easily the weakest toy in Wave 1. Plus I was disappointed they introduced a new Dinobot in a toyline where the Dinobots now Combine and yet she doesn’t join into the gestalt with the rest of them - doesn’t seem fair on the poor lass - talk about excluding the new kid

You're comparing a $275 aud figure to a $20 aud figure

I'm a bit surprised Hasbro skipped on the opportunity to make this combine in some form with the others, even if she just transformed into a weapon of some sort. For me, there's no incentive to pick this toy up.

Yeah, I’m comparing because it’s odd there are two toys that have the same alt-mode with a similar flaw - the ribcage on the raptor mode looks crap. Why is that a roll-your-eyes worthy observation? If anything the difference in price and supposed quality makes it more noteworthy.

Two raptor toys released over a certain period - both have a similar issue. If every helicopter TF over a certain period had a problem with its rotor blades I’d comment on that too - no matter the difference in price range between toys.

This. Dino mode is questionable but bot mode is awesome! Fits in well as a new member of the Dinobots

Trev, I at you because if they had gotten the ribs right I wonder what you'd complain about next.

Errrr.... ‘twas my only complaint about either toy. Actually I tell a lie there. I did also say the MP Dinobot was super expensive and it’s a shame Slash doesn’t combine.

All these sentiments have been echoed by numerous other members - I’m still failing to see why you have a problem with me pointing out the ribcage thing.

And to think, one of the most common criticisms I get on my blog is I’m not critical enough. Please don’t try to paint me as a Negative Nelly thank you.

Or, just spitballing wacky ideas here - since this a review thread of Slash, how about review her instead of me - could be worth a go eh
