Toy Review - SNARL (Studio Series 86)

[KELPIE]

I was sure they would have been able to hide the hind legs within the forearms. That's probably my only gripe.

One. One to go.

I was sure they would have been able to hide the hind legs within the forearms. That's probably my only gripe.

One. One to go.

I got mine the other day and this is one of my two gripes. The other gripe being, that his Dino legs don't match the gold of the Spines and other Dinobots. I think this is their biggest faux par and I don't like it. Snarl would be so much better with a better gold on the dino legs and head.

Luckily for Snarl then that everything else is great. He has an amazing presence, aided by the tail across his back. He just looks soo good, is very pose-able and him having the sword it wonderful. I thought the POTP was a pretty good Snarl, but looking at this guy I see that POTP tail is too high on his back and a few other things that bother me.

SS snarl though. Niiiice, his Autobot symbol is fine on mine, the dino seems very accurate to the cartoon (and the 8-s impression of a stegosaurus). I do wish the main spine piece that folds up against his back in robot mode were gold as well, to add to his light absorbency, but I can understand this might be a cartoon thing.
I thought his transformation was pretty clever and hides most of his dino mode well. Keep in mind, I'm not getting them all. I don't really like Slag and want either a UK comic coloured Grimlock or a G2 coloured version.

I'm very pleased with SS Snarl and happily look forward to seeing Swoop.
Hopefully he's not cocked up like the final Stunticons member was.

Yep. He looks great in robot mode. Great in dinosaur mode. Great in robot mode with his fellow dinobots...and a bit of a let down in dinosaur mode with his fellow dinobots. It's a shame the colour schemes don't all match.
Apart from that, great toy.
