It seems like almost the entirety of the Legacy Evolution line is now available in some form or another, be it online or in stores. We are still missing a few, but with the recent sightings, we are now well into wave 4 of the Legacy Evolution line in terms of sightings. The wave 4 deluxes have now been found at the Plaza Bonita Target in California by ApocalypseThruster. Those are Detritus, Bombshell, Strongarm and Shadow Striker. This adds to the recent sighting of the wave 4 voyagers, Bludgeon and Trashmaster, at Gamestops in both the US and Canada. This wave's leader, Dreadwing has not appeared in stores yet, but is available at online retailers, like cdmstore.
You can see video reviews for all those figures below.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Bombshell completes the Legacy Evolution updates to the G1 Insecticons and I have to admit that I feel underwhelmed. Bombshell is a repaint/retool of Shrapnel and while it works well, I'm disappointed that we're denied three unique molds for the Insecticons. I do enjoy Bombshell and it's a worthy addition to your Insecticon army.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:If you were to ask me to list 10 figures that I don't think would get updates in a modern Transformers line, Detritus wouldn't make the list because I just wouldn't think of it. Imagine my surprise that our first experience with the SS86 Hound mold is Detritus here in the Legacy Evolution line. The mold is fantastic and the best modern Hound mold we've gotten, much easier to handle than the Masterpiece. While I can't say this is a must-have figure, if you want to experience the SS86 mold Detritus is a solid purchase, on sale, which will probably be before we see the release of Hound.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Shadow Striker is a great figure but there are lots of little things going on with it that might turn some people off. First, I feel labeling the figure from the Cyberverse Universe is a disservice as the use of this mold is clearly meant to homage the TFCC convention exclusive. That leads to the second point, this mold is meant for Robots In Disguise Sideburn who we know is coming at a later point. With that said I find it hard to recommend this figure since once Sideburn is released most of this version will become redundant.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:What some new parts and paint can do for a mold is fantastic. Elita-1 and Minerva were ok, but Strongarm is the best use of this mold. Outside of an entirely new mold, this is the best modern interpretation of Strongarm we'll get and it's my favorite figure of the wave.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:It's incredible how some different colors can make you appreciate a mold and realize what it's for. While we all thought that the mold was intended for Tarn, with these new colors and details of the mold pop, I believe that Bludgeon was the intended use all along. I also have to point out that a Voyager Transformer has enough articulation to do a proper two-handed sword pose, something that figures double or triple the price can't do. If you tend to favor Tarn then I'm not sure I can recommend the double dip, but this is the best Bludgeon figure since the original G1 mold.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:It's nice to see Hasbro reach across all Transformer lines for Legacy. Prime was an exciting show coming in the wake of the live-action movies. Skyquake and Dreadwing were two of the stand-out characters from the show and it's nice to see them in Evolution. The base mold that they share is meant to homage the Predator Skyquake, a character from the European Generation One period. Skyquake and Dreadwing are fun figures and either or both would fit well in your collection.
With Walmart and Target lagging behind online retailers, like Amazon and stores which may cater more to collectors, there can be great discrepency between the time a toy is made available to fans and the time it shows up at a big box store. So we wanted to let you know that the wave of Legacy Legacy Evolution that includes Skyquake and a repacked Dragon Megatron has been found at a Gamestop in California. It was found by Sness who posted it here.
For those wanting a review in case you aren't sure if you want to buy into this mold (since we know Dreadwing is coming too and possibly much more), here is a review that shows size comparisons.
We here at Seibertron.com hope that you're enjoying the galleries we provide. One of our recent galleries included Prime VoyagersDreadwing and his late, great brother... Skyquake!
Well, the very rare and hard to find figure is apparently making his way into brick & mortar Toys R Us stores, with various multistate sightings across the country.
TRU.com infrequently has him available as well, here at this link: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.js ... d=22130216
As of this time (3:08 AM EST) his listing has been pulled, but it is an active item they carry and it could go back up, with the figure in stock and ready to ship, at any time.
Care to revisit the gallery? You can do so, right here:
