Transformers Legacy Evolution Commander Armada Universe Optimus Prime 7.5” Action Figure

Looks and feels great.

Hubby loves it, nuff said.

Great

Great

This is a great figure. Very big and surprisingly posable. However, it's joints rachet and make that annoying clicking noise all transformer collectors hate. Also the transformation is rather finicky and pieces can break off easily. All in all. Looks great slightly annoying to transform and pose

The media could not be loaded. The figure itself looks fantastic and was well worth the wait from when it was first announced by Hasbro!However, the quality control for this figure is absolutely terrible!The first figure I received came with a defect on the front chest peg (as seen in the video and photo of instructions) which meant the figure could not be properly transformed and the chest would just stick which obviously ruins the look of a £90 figure!I returned this item the next day and revived a replacement from Amazon which was all quick and simple. However once again quality control ruined the figure before I’d even taken it out of the packaging (as seen in the photos of the figure and inside the box). Whoever packaged the figure inside the box managed to snag the wheel piece on the side of the cardboard separator and had cause the plastic piece to bend out of place which not only ruins the look of this expensive figure but also is extremely annoying as it won’t peg back into place due to the bend and instead just moves around with the slightest touch.Overall, utterly disappointed at having to now get a refund before ordering again to hope my THIRD attempt at getting this much desired figure will result in one that works and shows the quality of a £90 price tag!Update: Thankfully I have quickly received a third figure from Amazon and at last the figure transforms properly with no issues and no damage. Although it was a faff to get here and it is still unacceptable quality control by Hasbro, the figure is mighty impressive! I have included a final photo displaying him alongside another character from the series for scale.

JUST EXPENSIVE TAT

I grew up with the original version of this toy. However this new figure despite its superior engineering, still falls short of the ‘fun’ element the original had. This unfortunate figure suffers from some rather nasty quality control issues!All the issues I’ve experienced have been related to the figure’s left super mode hand! They have an issue with the screw not being fully screwed in thus the hand just falls apart!In addition my replacement had the same issue. But unlike the first one thankfully the screw hadn’t been stripped so I was able to screw in fully.These things shouldn’t exist at all on a £91.99 GBP figure. Also there’s other reported issues where the super mode arms won’t collapse back up properly although I didn’t experience this particular issue personally.Overall the engineering is okay and I prefer the engineering of this new version compared to the old one as the old one relied on a battery operated gimmick. This figure does not.The cons however seem frequent with a complete lack of any decent quality control and not to mention the fact Hasbro omitted Sparkplug (the original yellow minicon car that was included with the original)With the cons, particularly the quality control issues. Buying one feels risky not knowing if the figure is as expected for the price. Therefore I can not recommend at full price.£50 maximum!I have managed to get one that properly works now. If you want this figure proceed with extreme caution as who knows what atrocities await when you unpack him from the box!
