"Ultimate" Animated Prowl


KFGatri

Recommended Posts

I just picked up Samurai Prowl, and though I like him, I wish he still had the throwing stars (darn budget limitations! :-) There's been a lot of remolding done on this guy. Even though the details are very different, the overall look is basically the same, and he transforms identically to the original. My question is, has anyone tried to combine the two to create an "ultimate edition"? I might try just swapping the wheels, to make a Prowl with both weapon gimmicks.

Actually, it is possible to just pop out the centers of Samurai Prowl's knees and place the samurai stars from regular prowl in there. It's basically the same figure with a few adjustments to fit the armor on.

I took it one step further using my X-acto knife. I swapped the hands so he has the tan ones, and since the thighs have better articulation, I trimmed the thigh pads to fit on Samurai Prowl. I painted his inner calf hubcaps to match his outer ones, and I glued his helmet onto his head and this way I can swap his Samurai head and regular head at my choosing. I got a second Prowl for the wheel shield and will buy two of the Animated Prowl sets for the ninja mask. One for the regular Prowl head, and one for Samural Prowl head (using a second regular Prowl and the second Samurai Prowl I bought initialy for the wheel shield).

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
