Impactor's head looks nothing like the preview!   |

Oh dear. Perhaps in hand Impactor works though in pictures it just doesn't appeal to me. Bluestreak looks fab though!

I think the one from the FOC toy looks much better.

The head looks like a shoddy KO version.

The flat lighting isn't helping the new one. I think if it didn't have the purple lines on the forehead it would be a big yellow blob. The only mistake is not using the silver for the eyes, but that will look better in hand I'm sure.

Ours came in today. Can't get you guys' until monday because our post offices are closed on weekends.
Bluestreak is a thing of joy. He is vurreh beautiful.
Only miiiinor criticism is the silver paint cocers the entire top of the front end, instead of just the hood. I kinda feel if only the hood were silver, it would reaaaaally pop, where now it feels a bit overkill.
Impactor is pretty dang good. Head sculpt doesn't photograph well. Much better in person. Paint on it is a touch sloppy, and that contributes to why it doesn't photograph well.
His eyes are yellow, but a different shade of yellow (so very slight that you have to look closely under a light to tell). He *does* need different colored eyes.
The only real misstep in Impactor are the weapons. They're a nice thought... but don't work in practice. He can't use any of them. He cant hold the guns at all, and the swords are literally fitting a square peg into a round hole.
They just sorta set inside his fist holes, and wobble around until they fall out when you look at them.

I imagine TFCC Impactor will already be going for a shitload of money on eBay. And since I'm now recovering from TFNation, I ain't goin' lookin'...

Impactor and Bluestreak have been paid for at BBTS.

Has any mold in recent memory been used as much as that car one? It's omnipresent.

I just wish they made the parts swappable in the mold, so not every use with the prowl head and streamline chest had to be a police car.
Smokescreen and bluestreak would be much improved with Deadend's vehicle parts.

I see four of the five parts for Thunder Mayhem have turned up in the club shop. Did they have all five and Needlenose sold out? I also note there doesn't seem to be any restriction on Skywarp purchases now. At least it doesn't actually say there is.

Leaving it a bit late to do TFSS 5.0 before their licence runs out aren't they?

I mentioned somewhere that to no ones surprise there were delays for 5.0. By the sounds of it 5.0 and the TF/Joe club toys will arrive with them late December, so any time from now till the middle of January I suppose and then 5.0 will be shipped out in 3 lots of 2 instead of one at a time over January and February.
Retaining the Joe license has probably given them a little leeway.
The delay is down to Hasbro, well the factories I imagine. With the license ending FP are probably even further down the pecking order than ever before.
