Robot Manuel X
I got this figure for a good price. I originally wasn't keen on the color scheme, specially after already owning the G1 colored version of this mold, but I couldn't pass on the good deal.
This figure is very poseable, almost too poseable. I've learned with this what issues a figure can have when it has too much articulation.
It is too easy to have it look like a drunk bot, or the legs with knees inward in strange positions and the big ankle tilt allows for all that. It just requires a bit of starting from the feet up to get a good pose with this guy.
The aesthetics are very good, although the shoudlers are a tad low and the double elbow is a bit too long which looks weird in many positions.
- Plastic quality and built are really good.
- Transformation is pretty decent for what was an extremely simple original toy.
- It takes a bit to peg everything tightly, there is a couple of tiny leg hooks that I can see stressing if handled incorrectly.
- The chrome guns are great
