Tigerhawk showed up today. I never owned his original toy (or Razorclaw), so I don't have anything to compare him to other than pictues. I know that people had their complaints about this guy, and some of those are indeed valid - mostly about his proportions, but we'll get to that in a bit. There's some good in here, too.
To start, Tigerhawk is deceptively large - not so much in height, but in width. Not only does he have a MASSIVE wingspan (about 16 inches across with his feather-swords attached, plus the wings have joints at the base, in the middle, and can rotate forward or backward at the purple parts, making them very poseable), but he has a fairly broad chest, which is a big part of his proportion problem. His arms and hands aren't actually as small as stock photography pics made them look - the issue is that his bigh, wide chest is compeltely disproportionate with everything else that it makes the rest of him look undersized.
While he possesses bicep swivels, he has no wrist rotation at all despite his featehr tips now becoming swords/daggers for him to use (apparently these were missiles on his old toy) - sadly, this is becoming seemingly par for the course with Hasbro, forgetting just how important rotating wrists are for posing characters with melee weapons. He has a good amount of range with his shoulders, with both of his pauldrons having flaps that can lift up to let the arms move freely; he has ankle rockers, decent knees, and ratchet-jointed hips to try to help him hold standing poses with all that weight from those huge wings on his back. Sadly - but as expected - he has no waist rotation as a result of his transformation scheme.
