Picked up my SteelCore from the post office today. I was order number 352 and is was posted on the 17th, arrived on the 27th but I didn't get to pick it up until today. While it hasn't been that long since release, I think that FPC have handled the delivery situation poorly. The lack of communication is quite disappointing and the post they placed on their website while I believe was an attempt to explain the situation with a bit of light humour, all it succeeded in doing was give the impression that good customer service is not at the top of their priority list.
But on to my opinion, annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd, I have to agree with the general consensus and say this is an excellently designed and executed figure! He looks great and has so much posability it makes some modern HasTak TFs seem like G1 toys. He is really solid and transforms simply (compared to Defender) but well. Steel, (the little fella) is pretty cool and while less articulated then Sidearm, is still an impressive little figure.
The one issue I have, and this is a minor gripe more than anything else, is that the gun fits awfully snugly into his hand. A lot of massaging needs to be done to get it out.
And I am confident that their is going to be some sort of trailer. You can clearly see the hitch on the back of the alt mode, it is actually part of the gun, similar to RTS Prime, and as you are probably aware the trailer is in the comic. So can't wait for that!
Overall though well worth the money and the wait. So for those of you still waiting, it shouldn't be long now!!
Bring on Assaulter and the Not-Stunticons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
