I find it funny how fast the ACTUAL transformation is, when the instructions take up two full pages, lol. Also, a little super glue in the ball joints of the hips and ankles work wonders. Just let it dry and you'll have a strong limb structure.
On a side note : if u transform him half way, with his turret facing down and with the red panels facing forward, he will look like a floating corpse with a spinal cord dangling, like Mephisto. also if u transform him halfway, he will have a really long penis.
very cool old skool bad guy color, and i dig the skull helm aswell. this would would fit nicely with bludgeon if u already have him. only thing i feel is that skullgrin should have been a repainted mold of bludgeon as a reference to the series' culture back then :)
okay, heres my take on the toy, i picked this guy up the moment i did a search on skullgrin and found him to be a really cool undead-ish character. if ur a fan of Diablo and WoW u would be able to imagine such aesthetics. colors are good i must say not many transformers come in this color scheme anymore. next thing im waiting for is animated ramjet. this is also the color of master force Getaway which i hope to get some day, as well as head master apeface.
man thank god for you and your videos. if it werent for you, i, or most of us, would have many many regrets either passing on awesome toys or getting trapped the crappier ones. this one i havent made a decision yet though...
I really liked this guy until I discovered he was missing a pin in one of his heel spurs. I had to improvise and make a new pin out of a small nail I had. It kinda works but it still sucks I had to do that.
Nice quick review about quick reviews. About half of the review was about quick reviews. To be honest, I prefer your "quick reviews" than what you've been doing lately with the intros.
It's taking suspiciously long for your recovery isn't it? Has it always been like this? Because I got over the flu in 3 days without any medicine. Yeah, I was too lazy to go get some.
@Rachamacha Hey, one time I was sick with H1N1 for the exact same time without any medicine too! It turns out, I had such a strong immune system that I probably didn't need any.
@gyrrakavian what gyrrakian said, pretenders are decepticons disguised as humans and seekers are starscreams clone army (thundercracker, skywarp, sunstorm, dirge, ramjet and slipstream are seekers)
@GangsterJoe101 That's not a screw-up. That was intentional. Hasbro is leaking previews of upcoming redecos/retools via the instructions of the original molds. Its happened for a lot of figures in the Generations line.
Yeah, I was pretty happy with this guy. his head looks quite different from straxus, so thats a plus. Unfortunately Im just not all that familiar with the character himself...I never got into the whole pretender line as a kid, so I don't remember him really...still a nice design, though.
just got this guy as a christmas gift. i love him! i understand that he was a pretender, and therefore shouldn't have been a repaint of straxus, but between the head and the bone white weapon, he just rubs me the right way.
