Toy Review - Studio Series Dropkick (Car Type)

[Dimi194]

It's from Uncle Pete's, so I can't be bother to go through the hassle of sending him back etc etc-especially because last time something like this happened they covered the cost of me sending pack and reposting, which was like $25...
Honestly doesn't bother me that much hahaha!
If it was from somewhere I could drive I would for sure.

I opened up mine at last - and after a break from Studio Series for a while I've been reminded of why I'm not keen on so many of the deluxe figures from this line.

In theory this toy has a brilliant transformation. The spinning head/bonnet, the way the wheel parts swap around, the unfolding fenders, the panels wrap around the legs, it's all really good.

But Studio Series deluxe toys are just a bit too small for this complexity and the car modes feel like they are constantly fighting to constrain everything into place which makes it much less fun and more frustrating.

I also find it extremely hard to reconcile that this robot and the helicopter called Dropkick are supposed to be the same robot with different alt modes. It just doesn't work. I think the helicopter needed to be more blue at least!
