Not really. This is pretty much a WYSIWYG kind of toy, so I'll let the pictures speak a thousand words.Originally Posted by Tetsuwan Convoy
These days I try to reserve words to focus on things that aren't evident in photos (e.g. Studio Series 86 Brawn's initially tight head etc.).

Like Gok's copy, my Snarl has the dino head Autobot symbol misaligned, but in the opposite way (left half higher than the right half). I've seen images of other copies with the same issue - some slightly and some by a 1-2mm. It's as if the people tampo stamping them are doing so with left and right head halves at two different heights, and then the assembler picking random head halves - you might get two lows or two highs or one of each. My batch number is 30061, for what it's worth.

The logo lined up okay on mine, hadn't noticed in the pics above.
It's a great Snarl figure.
I only have two minor dislikes - in dino-mode the tail sticks out the back at what feels like an odd angle, a very exgatterated V shape to the whole body; and he's got a fair bit of (a nice) yellow but it's a colour the other Dinobots don't have and marks him as a little different from the rest. (I guess in the cartoon he was a 'second wave figure' and the other one 'in his wave' has blue instead of red so Wheeljack and Ratchet weren't going for consistency!) I think I'd have preferred the gold of his tail and plates to be used for his head and legs.

Nice to have another Dinobot in Snarl; I think he's a nice figure, with good bot and steggy modes. I don't so much like the yellow used on the head and legs in stegosaurus mode. Would have been nice to have kept it consistent with the gold used on all the other Dinobots (now I'll be forced to paint mine).
Looking forward to Swoop!
