Toy Review - Studio Series Shatter (Jet Type)

[GoktimusPrime]

This is a great toy.

My only one minor gripe is with the back-kibble...it never feels like it's ever quite in the 'right' place. And it's waaaaay oversided too, but I can't think of anyway they could get around that with how much the designs in the Bumblebee movie cheated their transformations.

Yeah, I do wish that the backpack had some way of tabbing or locking into position. I do agree that it is quite large (hence why I took the photo of the toy from behind to show this), but surprisingly it doesn't make the toy too back heavy. She still stands just fine without toppling over.

Now if they could please go back and give Heli-Dropkick another crack, this time in the right colours etc k thx.

Replied here.

Absolutely agree with the review. It is an amazing figure, I also highly recommend that if you don't have this, get one!

The way the plane comes together is amazing because it remains compact without parts popping out eventually or from the slightest touch. I wish the same thought had been put into the messy alt. mode of KSI Boss. In fact, if reducing him to deluxe size could solve the problem, I would support that based on what Shatter has shown me.

I second this. It's a great example of why more jet-formers need to make use of the fuselage for robot mode limb and torso mass, instead of having the folded up robot just hang off the bottom of a model jet.

Bonus feature - it's actually (approximately) in scale with the much larger F-22 Raptor Studio Series Starscream figure in jet mode.

Does anyone have any issue with stress marks on the grey ball joint for the thigh? I can?t tell if the plastic is a bit swirly or if there was a stress mark straight out of the box, and the tightness of the thigh joint is a little concerning. The peg is pretty thick though so hopefully it?s okay. Just curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing
