I like it. I just see one major problem. When I take it outside and try it out my dog will chase it and run with it. That mean I gotta chase him before he eats it. Otherwise I like it.

ok opened it up.. The legs are all together..aka no knee joint.. but the arms are still very poseable. the new guns are lower quality plastic it seems but still some nice new guns...

Only the glider figure from the new wave has reduced articulation, probably because they expect it to take more wear. The rest of the new ones have swivel necks, waists, hinged knees, ball shoulders and elbows.

If the legs come off like the others then maybe they can be easily replaced.

The new guns that come with the glider.......

The boat isn't bad... though thinking about getting the PTE Patrol boat and transferring the weapons...

I THOUGHT the knees on the guys in the boat was straight legged.. til they were removed and they do bend...

I bought the boat as soon as I found it. Opened it the same day. It's pretty cool!
The drone is neat, but DON'T remove the rubber bands holding it on. The thing falls off very, VERY easy.
And the launcher is weak, and without the drone, looks like a battering ram.
One of the mini-guns broke off in minutes, but glue fixed it without affecting anything. And the figures have no wrist swivel, so they can't hold weapons with both hands. Head gear is removable.

The .50cal pictured on the raft is NOT an extra piece. You're supposed to (I guess) remove the gun off the tail of the boat.
Here's some shoots. I used different Joe bodies to show usability and scale:

Last and least, the very undersized raft. Just a little bigger than the 30th Action Marine raft. :-/

Picked up the glider, certainly looks cool, but no swivel wrists as mentioned before, so the dude doesn't really hold his weapons. Probably going back:-(

OK, so there's a guy named Cannon and another named Cannonball, a guy named Corba, and another named Cobra.

But more interesting are the names Hawk, Stalker, Cutter, Grunt, Shooter and Duke.

That patrol boat is pretty cool.
May have to swing by Target and see what we have in stock here.

How much was the boat?

HypnoHustler · **Posted:** Tue May 12, 2015 9:29 am

$20 for the boat. Comes with 2 figures too, so it's a good value. It's on my radar for sure, if only new Transformers would stop hitting . . .

I was able to stop at the closest Target we have the other day. They had nothing new and I was very sad. I want that boat and the new figures. Have a wedding this weekend to go to...can hopefully talk the wife into some new toy hunting on the way home.
