Review - TF2 ROTF Mindwipe

[lcz128]

I got Mindwipe on Saturday and i think it's fantastic
he has decent poseability and can stand quite well and he looks really cool
before i bought him i had to ask a friend if they were ok with me buying it since they also wanted mindwipe, he was busy looking at gundam models at the time so he just siad he didnt care, we get back to my place later that day and open the stuff we bought and when it came to opening mindwipe every few seconds my friend would say things like "ok i'm starting to care" "im starting to care more" "I really want mindwipe" "he's so cool, i want him!"
haha ... uhh so yeah mindwipe is cool buy it definatly

Wow where did u get him in Melbourne and for how much?

I don't like how the knives can't be put away or repositioned upright. Otherwise it's a neat toy. I like the automorphmech alive gimmick on the wings - simple yet elegant. I also like the overall sculpting, particularly on the head (for which the box art and pictures don't quite do it enough justice).

Maybe it's just because it's winter olympics time but I can't help but keep seeing him as skiing with really short poles.

I'm not fussed with the limitations on the knife. I just imagine it's like many animations in the cartoons, where the hand disappears to be replaced (like G1 Prime's ax, or G1 Megatron's mace). At least with Mindwipe, they gave him 2 hands, instead of just a weapon on one, like like a lot of the ROTF Bumblebee toys.

MUCH BETTER combination from the mind of a Hong Kong fan:

AWESOME.
And I see he also did the knee shavings that I did too! As it gives him NORMAL KNEES and he doesn't have to have the weird leg bends!

AWESOMEEEE I really want one of these Anyone in melb see them at regular retail price? icey - where'd u see yours? I'm too impatient that I want to be able to get it in my hands ASAP!

Damn, those pictures make him look HAWT. Ahh, if only I didn't have a strict cast-only policy when it comes to movie toys...

The end result is pretty cool, but it's a bit of a pain getting there thanks to all of Skystalker's balljointed arms! It sure looks like this was the designers intention all along, with Mindwipe's chest cavity springs and Skystalker's slightly odd front wheel style. Glad it was found, thanks Kyle!

If only Skystalker had been called Vorath

I got him from Minotaur in Melbourne last week for $60 (imported from America) but now most Kmarts have begun stocking Mindwipe for $50, saw them at kmart northland today
