Got Bluestreak yesterday! CLEAN paint job, and the slight remolding gives him a totally different personality of his own! The T-top look really fits the character.
We found Spider Bytes and the removable helmet Shredder at Target today, so my daughter is caught up again on turtles until next year.
A few more photos
very nice.
I never had a lot of the autobot cars from the start of the show. I was all about the insectacons, dinobots and constructicons.
The G1 cars were kind of lame, because their legs were stuck together. I think either Bluestreak or Prowl was the first Transformer I ever got. My parents probably hated my aunt and uncle for starting that train.
Jetfire had pretty good legs and arms. Hun grr too.
Most of the G1 stuff was never really meant to be pose-able. Having a good looking alt mode, sturdy parts, and the ability for a kid to grip it in the hand, fit in kid pockets, or zoom around the house with it came first.
I'm really growing to dislike pegs on newer tf stuff. The older stuff was all, fold this in here, turn this, pull this hand and fist out, click this joint. You can't transform anything new without 10 pegs holding the delicate turd together.
You raise a good point. For whatever reason the stiff and connected legs of the jets never bothered me as much as the cars. Jetfire might have been the best of G1 though; he's definitely the exception.
Wasn't jet/skyfire a repurposed Robotech toy? That could explain the kick-assness.
Reporting in to say that Prowl doesn't have any pegs. Unless I am not aware of what you mean.
Jetfire was a repurposed Macross toy.
