Toy Review - Titans Return Highbrow

[GoktimusPrime]

We'll just have to agree to disagree on this point.

Btw as a quick no mod fix to the HM port: cut 6mm squares from the toy packaging or a piece of acetate and slot them on either side of the port

[GoktimusPrime]

Would clear nail polish also work?

[SMHFConvoy]

Haven't tried, so really I can't say.

I would say no, if you put clear nail polish into the port area, it will very likely gum up the mechanism before setting and you won't be able to get it out.

You might be able to put clear nail polish on the head of the titan to 'thicken it up' but I'm not sure what the long term effect would be.


I have found on most figures, that if you connect the titan with the head turned 180 degrees it's a tighter fit, on some it's too tight and on others it overcomes the extra loose connection.

The heads are not quite square and the connection port has a thinner section and a wider section.

I always wanted Highbrow. He was my favourite as a kid but I never got around to getting the G1 toy. So he scores points for finally being my Highbrow toy. I think the robot mode is generally a great looking Highbrow.

But agree on the points about the transformation and vehicle mode and that damn neck joint!

Because of this..

... I've found that you have to do this...

... on all of the deluxes. Highbrow though is so loose that Xort doesn't seem to go down far enough and I can see Xort's face on Highbrow's neck.

I really wonder if it's an intentional design element, allowing for manufacturing tolerances, the tighter or looser configuration should work for most assembled toys.

[SMHFConvoy]

Just got him today, I actually like it.

Tight vehicle mode that locks together, no bits (other than the rotor blades) flopping about.

Tons of sculpted detail. Bot mode head is a bit loose, but that's an easy fix.

[UltimateGalvatron]

I like him, but my Xort's legs are reeeeeeally loose.

Is there are way to fix it?

Clear nail polish should do the trick
