Toy Review - CW Sky Lynx

[M-bot]

I haven't been able to find this toy yet but I had a fiddle with someone else's CW Sky Lynx today. The engineering behind it is pretty neat. Having no electronic gimmick really frees up the designers to be able to utilise the "Lynx" faux-component (which is just a block in the G1 toy). Overall it's a really impressive homage to the G1 figure, although I'm still not entirely sold on the horns. Looks neat enough in robot mode, but weird in shuttle mode. My main criticism of this toy are the blue wings in robot mode which are really floppy and don't seem to be able to lock into position.

Still, I'm gonna buy this toy on sight if I can find one!

The blue wings on mine were a bit floppy as well, I tightened the 2 screws on the underside of the shuttle wings (top of the wings in robot um... beast thingy mode) and that mostly resolved it. They're not absolutely firmly in place but are not swinging in and out when I don't want them to.
