I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it felt cheap as if a fairly low grade of plastic was used in it’s manufacturing and it did leave me wondering how durable it would be, both for transforming and how susceptible it would be to yellowing from UV exposure. But was it going to be…?Īs with pretty much all modern toys (apart from the Masterpiece range), it’s made from plastic but right from the start when taking it out of the packaging it just didn’t quite feel right.
So when I spotted the Beast Hunters version of Smokescreen on sale for half price in a local warehouse store and – inside the packaging at least – looking like a fairly good representation of Nolan North’s character, I thought it would make another great addition to the TF: Prime collection. For me I’d concentrated on a couple of favourite characters, a few select toys I really liked (regardless of the range they were from) and then TV-centric toys but again restricting myself to my favourite Transformers shows so predominantly Beast Wars, Robots In Disguise (the original series) and Transformers Prime. I’ve never understood those who have gone out and purchased toys they don’t like just because it’s missing from their collections and it’s needed to fill in a gap. With one or two exceptions, I’ve not been one for buying as many toys as possible from specific ranges or aiming for complete sets and buying everything as it is released. When it comes to Transformers, I’ve always taken quite a different approach to most collectors.
