Review: DOTM Icepick Figure

[Breaker]

Someone beat me to it.

..A one and a half? For Ice Pick? And you gave Backfire a 4? These scores seem like they should be reversed. I love this figure and I was immensely disaapointed by Backfire. They both have good Alt modes. They both have decent figures(Though Sgt. Chaos. Really? Can we try harder with names Hasbro.). However, where Ice Pick blows Backfire out of the water completely is posability. I don't care if he can't hold his weapons that well. He has actual /ARMS/ Those are vital components to anyone. He has elbows as well. Elbows the /DO NOT/ suck like Backfire's. Let's not bring up probably the greatest sacriledge of all, at least IMO, which is Backfire's hands being molded /BACKWARDS/. It's like the worst tease ever. "We know he could have elbows and hands. But... Well, they're gonna face the wrong way and not be useable." I've give icepick a four. Next to Sandstorm, he's easily the best of the first wave of the HA figures.

On the flipside, Backfire's arms don't fall off when you sneeze. His head also doesn't blow off it's socket with a light breeze. Finally, Backfire's weapon mode is half-way plausible.

Must be some QC issues on Icepicks or you got a bad one. Or I got immensely lucky. Mine doesn't have any of those joint issues in the least. O_o;

I thought it was kind of cool how they mentioned his Combiner team (and the loss thereof) in his bio.

TF bios in general need more creativity like that.

ok,i almost never comment on anything here,but i have to bitch about how hasbro screwed up here.1-they didn't make it clear that the ha basic's weapon modes are meant to be held/weilded by larger figures.2-icepick was meant to be female,according to takara.
