Ah February, my last full month of non-mortgaged freedom...

Animated Sentinel Prime. I'm digging the personality of the figure and of the alt mode (something Animated continues to do very, very well). But something is... lacking? I don't know. There's not as much of a sense of there being More Than Meets the Eye than as with other figures. Yes, vague I know.

Animated Blitzwing. I'm sorry to hear others have had bad QC experiences with him. Mine has no such issues thankfully. As it's been said before, having to transform between these three modes in this size class is just a tad too ambitious. But he's got personality, and personality goes a long way.

Encore Trailbreaker. The original was perhaps my favorite Autobot I owned when growing up. Something about all those chromed accessories perhaps? He's not as I remember him (naturally) and I was initially unsure as to how I'd react to the all-spark blue visor, but as a total package the figure is great.

Encore Hoist. I'm neither here nor there about the character, but I'm typically all about the toy when it comes to collecting anyway. Plus I enjoy reissues.
