The bubble just falls off tbh

Hi , I need vintage toy box drawing for Star Roto Robot 1985. Do you have suggestion any web site ?

Great vid. I looked at it and left on the shelf. Was going to get this and Megatron, but got G1 Mirage instead. Good decision.

Very helpful video inspired me to do this myself but I used a different method. I hung the figure upside down by a piece of string inside a coffee jar with about half an inch of peroxide at the bottom. Peroxide is more expensive since you made this video cost me £2.44 at Asda pharmacy . A smaller pharmacy wanted £3.99

The figures that were loved and enjoyed are often my favorite.

Big price difference in this and the Revoltec

Glad I watched this video first as I also saw Soundwave, Optimus & Megatron for £15 each in the Entertainer and very nearly picked them up. May wait to see if the price drops more before I pull the trigger. Looks a tad underwhelming. Great Review sir!

Superglue to the joints and keep working them.

Hey Dave yep tend to agree, I picked up Prime and Megs when the price dropped to see what they were like and exactly the same experience, a low quality product not worth the OG price and tbh I found the designs quite underwhelming too but what are gonna do 😢

I wanted the figures to look like they did on tv and this is what i wanted as a kid. I proudly had a few action masters as a kid and they were regularly in play even with tmnt and WWF Hasbro’s. “SACRILEGE! HE’S A WITCH! BURN ‘IM!” they all scream.

My Entertainer had Megatron and Optimus too I bought all 3 and only Megatron had tight joints.

Hola ..la verdad es que hace tiempo dejé de comprar figuras originales de hasbro por sus materiales y costos ..prefiero comprarme un ko por AliExpress ..hay muchas figuras que parecen verdaderos pequeños masterpieces a precios muy baratos y mejores de los que esta sacando hasbro en estos Momentos …

Robot Enhanced Design... it finally makes sense to me now.

Speaking of legal issues, I got the recent Soundwave retro reproduction from Zavvi (as I'd never owned Soundwave but always wanted it), but it DOES feel a little cheaper with hot having the metal parts that the old ones had.

I remember during lockdown I watched the Bumblebee movie and it reignited my childhood obsession/love for Transformers that had died after the second live action film. I bought the RED Optimus Prime and a few ReAction figures. I really just wanted to own figures that look like the cartoon or comic, and mostly for the classics that I didn't get in the 80s. My old Optimus has both legs snapped (and subsequently lost) at the ratchet part next tot the tyres, and it was always one of my all time favourite toys, so getting the RED version felt like the best way of replacing it. Looks awesome as it just sums up that cartoon look and feels very definitive in terms of appearance. I have worried about the legs potentially getting looser over time as they are so heavily weighted. I'm not too bothered about posing my figures so the ReAction range is great if you just want the G1 cartoon look on your shelf, but I felt that I needed to make an exception for my favourite, Optimus.

Bumblebee from lego is quite good. 😊

These R.E.D. figures aren't good however I didnt want to pay the 50 quid odd for coronation starscream and picked the R.E.D. version up for £15 off Zavvi. The plastic quality is noticeably poor when in hand (I wouldn't advise using him for play) but displayed on the shelf he looks great next to Galvatron. Horses for courses i guess.

I don’t think the ‘only 15 pounds’ really helps your position. It was badly made and badly designed and doesn’t live up to the hype at any price.

What a shame, Dave… Quality Control just isn’t a thing they care about anymore. #HasBroken

I just bought an old 3 inch jyn erso figure which the factory paint is pretty messy, will try acrylic paint on it later, tq for the vid 👍

This figure kind of reminds me of some GI Joe classified figures I've gotten over the years. Just Hasbro using cheap plastic floppy joints QC issues. Sounds about right to me. I was so tempted to get into The red line. Glad I didn't. I'll stick to my g1 vintage Transformers. Excellent video as always!

We need another company to take over Hasbro. Prices go up while quality goes down…

Cheap, flimsy, inconsistent and with poor QC is unfortunately how hasbro treats all of the product lines.

I had these and they're all junk.

Thank you for sharing your review Dave. Take care 😊

I was so excited when this was announced years back but when I got them in hand, they were shockingly cheap, floppy joints, and scale be damned. When Prime Arcee is the almost same height as Megatron... pass.

I have this figure and it’s in much better shape, it’s almost like this is a bootleg version of what I have

transformers that dont "transform" are a ripoff and a slap in the face to the fans in my humble opinion. whats next cars that dont drive,, what do i know,, im just a guy with a dumb opinion

my starscream is a bit floppy too, and the plastic is rubbery, interesting choices they made

I'd love to see your thoughts on modern(mainline) tf figures, imo outside of poor clear plastic placement and lack of paint, they're great

These are hit or miss most of the time. mine have tight joints, but Prime has a seized second knee joint, but looks great. The Megatron is pretty cartoon accurate.

Broken out of the box! Time to fix it? 😉

Nope not for me lol

Not a patch on the transformers from the 80s

In a certain Transformer fan of a certain age, when we hear 'non-transforming transformer', the first thing that comes to mind is 'Action Master'. :)

Me: "20cm? What is that in Bumblebees? I'll use anything but the metric system!" 😂

Strange, I literally have this figure on order from eBay right now. Should be here tomorrow. I have Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee and Starscream already. They're so close to being good but I have three problems: 1. Lack of character selection. In terms of G1 designs, you have two Autobots and about six or seven Decepticons (technically there are three Autobots but one is just a white repaint of Prime they have the cheek to sell as Ultra Magnus). Why could they not have given us more Autobots so we could make a proper diarama on the shelf? 2. Floppy limbs. As you say, they're mighty floppy and between that and the really soft plastic they are frustrating to try and pose. 3. Scale. The way the've handled scale is to basically make everyone exactly the same height, so Bumblebee and Megatron are exactly the same size. I guess if they'd tried to sell Bumblebee at full price but only made him half the size of the others they'd have been criticised, so this was their solution but it doesn't really work. Anyway, frustrating as I say because they're very close to being really good, and a nice cheap alternative to the Super 7 or Revoltech figures.

I personally collect the Transformers Masterpiece line. (When I can afford them) 😅

Hey Dave, Sorry to say, you must have just gotten a bad figure. I have 4 different R.E.D. figures (Soundwave, Megatron, Starscream, and Optimus Prime), and none of mine suffer from any loose joints. And in the case of Soundwave, I have a harder time getting the cassette bay to open, closing it is a non-issue. Maybe try flipping “Laserbeak” upside down, and see if that helps. His position might be what’s causing it not to close. And it doesn’t string open, by any means. The shoulder button just causes mine to pop open just enough to open it with my fingers. If you find another R.E.D. figure at a decent enough price, consider giving it another chance and pick it up, especially if it’s Megatron.

I think your doors broken. Mine does not seem to have that problem.

I've always been an action figure guy....but back in 2019 I ended up getting real into Transformers--I do not care about their transformations. They will always just be in robot mode. When the RED line was announced I thought it was PERFECT for me and I wished I had held out and saved my money for these...... and then it became clear that Hasbro did not give a **** about this line. I think we're 4 years in and they did like two waves a year before quietly cancelling the line, I guess?

You could try dropping some clear coat into the joints, moving them gently as it dries, so that it builds up a bit of friction. You might want to look at the Yolo Park AMK model kits. They're fairly cheap and look to be decent quality, for the price. They do make larger, premium kits, if you're so inclined.

So it's basicly an oversized Action Master.

🆒 Transformers!

Man that sucks . i think you got a reject .. mine don't got those issues Mr pollioi... I like the figure.. it a very close resemblance to cartoon
