Hasbro - Transformers- Combiner Wars: Superion
When I was a kid I got my fair share of toys, but there was never a guarantee that my brother and I would ever get a complete set of combinders, so when I do it still puts a smile on my face. Superion was certainly one of those G1 figures that I always wanted, but never got so when the Combiner Wars version came out I was pretty excited to pick him up.
Pros: Really well done figure overall that captures a good part of the G1 ascetic no small part due to the torso and head sculpt.
Cons: It’s a shame that for all the effort Hasbro did to capture the G1 essence of the character that they felt it necessary to change up characters and designs. While I recognize that these are for kids, there is no doubt that some of the design elements are meant to be a nostalgic kick trying to appeal to us about collectors, so why not just do it right? Also, as is typical with new style combiners, they are a bit hefty and cumbersome to pose.
