Figures

The figure is an excellent redo of a classic mold, brought to life with even brighter colors than copies of the old mold today and the benefits of Missing Link engineering. Storing a slight remold of the fantastic Missing Link Convoy mold is already a win, but the work Takara put in to being able to move the suit armor and include Diaclone features omitted from the original release is all the more fun. My only issue is some minor QC issues; the chest-opening gimmick having no clearance in powered-up suit mode, a seemingly misaligned ratchet on its suit's left leg, excess chrome or plastic in the Convoy's left thigh (which made initial turning of said thigh incredibly difficult and stressful), and few paint specks here and there (almost unnoticeable, however). With all that said, I still think it's a worthy purchase if you fancy the original Transformers, Magnus himself, or want to see what's so great about Missing Link; but do know that this is not the pinnacle of Missing Link thus far. And expect some subpar articulation on the power-up suit's legs; I've seen people online expecting grade-A incredible poseability out of them when the truth of their movement is seen in the product photography.

It took too long to wait for her, but I'm finally able to put it with the link. Action figures are hard to pose, so I've never bought a lot of them, but I think they're amazingly advanced than before.
