CW Aerialbots V3
DO NOT BUY
This is a set of 6 Deluxe figures based on the Combiner Wars aerialbots limbs. They come in Orange, Red, Turquoise, Blue, Yellow and Green mimicking Firefly and Airraid molds.
I bought this from Sirtoys thinking it would be a cheap alternative to have combiner figures as an army.
They serve their purpose with a bit of a stretch.
I knew I was going in for cheap plastic, problematic articulations and terrible paint jobs, but what I didn't expect was the reduced articulation in comparison with original CW toys. These figures are not the same mold. The transformation is incomplete in most of them leaving either plane or bot mode impossible to transform fully.
In all robot modes the plane cockpit is lacking the 2nd articulation which is required for it to lay vertically up, so you always have to leave it aiming up diagonally.
I am going back to the pictures at the Sirtoys website and it is visible there, but not immediately obvious.
I thought I could keep these and re-sell if I didn't like, but I honestly think they are unsellable when in hand.
I added these as an accessory instead as figures because I wouldn't want to count them as proper figures, they're just plastic bulk.
