I don't know quite ewhat to think of the new head. Its a little bit regal for a guy who turns into a crane. Due to the crazy nature of the crown thingy, it doesn't feel like a Transformer head. Maybe a Gundam head, I'm not sure.

 

I think you're missing the point of the homage...

I wasn't doing TFs in the 90s. Thank you for the info. I now correct my statement to read:   "The head is a dead on representation of the BW Neo Longrack. As for this head (insert previous quote here.)

It makes him a whole lot cooler knowing it was pretty much just a nod to the fans eh?  :)

Blurr's thighs, feet, and crotchplate are translucent smoke-coloured as a side-effect of "Speed Planet"-izing him.  They were obviously molded on the same sprue as his wheels, so when they went to give his translucent wheels like the rest of the Speed Planet guys, the other parts became translucent as well.

I fixed that as much as I could w/o pulling pins. I like the translucent wheels on the speed planet toys though.

Has anyone figured out a way to add more articulation to Blurr?  He needs some new joints baaaaad.  As for Runamuck I like him; haven't bought him yet but i have all the other versions of this mold that I know of.  Something about it, despite the whacko proportions and crappy articulation, just speaks to me...

Please check out my other reviews. I think I'm going to make a point of reviewing everything I get and in the same style. I've been on this board for at least 3 years and no one knows who I am because I only have 200 posts. I tend to be long winded in case you haven't noticed.

Yeah, wordy is right.  Talk your bloody f*cking ear off he will if you pour a few gin & tonics down 'im...then it'd also be best to watch yer' knickers as he'll be trying to "transform you" if yer' catch me drift.
