    Default Review 10-004b - TF2 Movie Legends Wheelie



    Review 10-004b - Wheelie
    Series - TF2 Movie
    Sub-line - Legends
    Size - Legends
    New/remould/redeco - new
    Wave - 5
    Released here - December 2009
    Approximate Retail Price - $8
    Approximate Size - 8cm
    Allegiance - Autobot
    Alt-mode - Remote-controlled Truck
    Main Features/Gimmicks - none
    Main Colours - Dark blue, grey.
    Main Accessories - none
    My Difficulty rating (out of 5) - 1
    Stability - Good balance, but the arms sometimes pop off, and have trouble locking together in alt-mode.
    Poseability/articulation - Less than Soundwave, but isn't as noticeable with the limbs being a lot thinner, so doesn't look like a solid immovable block.
    Playability - Very playable (a lot more playable than the Deluxe version), and great to have with regular sized Movie toys, as the character is supposed to be micro-sized compared the others.
    My Thoughts - One of the best Legends sized toys, and should have been out in a much earlier wave while the Movie was helping to sell the toys. If you only buy one Wheelie toy, this one should be it. Both modes pull off the look of the character, with almost no kibble ruining either mode. Heck, even if you don't collect Movie toys, this one is a great cheap sample to have of the Movie universe.
    Overall Recommendation Rating (out of 10) - 8.5 (must buy)

    Great review Griffin. Completely agree that this is the movie legends toy to get. It portrays the character more so than its deluxe counterpart.

    Ugly ugly face, but pretty cool alt mode that is in a much more suitable size class for scale.

    Paint is fantastic for a legends, and he holds together quite well, I'm glad I skipped the deluxe version to get the legends class.

    It is one of the best legendsfigures out. Particularly love the clever conversion and fantastic in both modes. Although in alt-mode there are a fair bit of robot kibble visible at the back but forgiven due to its size class. Definately one of the best Legends ever from an overall great line.

    I haven't manage to sight this anywhere. Are you sure it's released in Australia? I saw that they made a Jap version of this.
