Review - ROTF Brawn

[Grievous]

I don't mean to upset the apple cart...but I find Brawn...well...
kinda disappointing.

His alt mode is pretty sweet...but he's pretty much a shellformer
with a lot of kibble on his back and arms. I also have to state
that the hip joints on mine are really loose which added to my
overall disappointment.

May-be he just seems that way after opening the basically
kibble free Lockdown...but I just don't dig him that much.

Don't worry about upsetting anyone. We all have different tastes. I similarly found Lockdown to be unimpressive. Similar to your Brawl, my Lockdown had some flaky ball joints. Between that and my general disappointment, I actually returned him.

With Brawn, his incredibly articulation overrides any potential issues I would have had with his kibble:

I love some of the John Woo style Gun-Fu action poses!

i dunno if its just me, but does he remind anybody of rhinox?
i really like him and the back kibble reminds me of rhinox and he has lots of guns like rhinox.

Anyway cant wait to find one of these guys!

Rhinox isn't as kibblicious as Brawn, and also Rhinox doesn't have guns (the cartoon modified his chainsaw weapon as guns - but the toy itself doesn't have them). Despite being a shellformer I was pleasantly surprised with Brawn. I think he's quite well done and they've incorporated the kibble pretty well - as you can see from jaydisc and Vector Prime's photos, they don't impede with his articulation too much. I skipped the toy when I first saw him - but I picked him up last night and I must say that he's exceeded my expectations. I ermed and aahed about getting this toy and was honestly expecting to be bitterly disappointed by it, but I'm actually rather pleased.

The Odieverse already has a Brawn but if they ever do an Outback redeco I'm sold.

I really like Brawn, defiantly one of the finer movie toys, and like Gok said, his kibble is surprisingly...not that anoying
