>>11513417>Star Convoy is such a good figure. An actual worthwhile update.It would be perfect if they didn't fuck up things that were pertectly fine in the original toy. It's like they went out of the way to mess with some playability aspects that should have been easy wins just by doing things as always.
I absolutely hate those dumb peg blocks on the inside of the legs. It's a freaking trailer, the floor should be flat so you can roll vehicles in and out and have figures there in base mode. There's like a dozen ways to secure the microtrailer inside the legs without using such a dumb method. But the stupidity goes beyond that, because even if those weren't there, the microtrailer would still be unable to go out of the doors because it's slightly too tall! Seriouly, what the fuck were they thinking?
Not a fan of the Zodiac using space in the middle of the floor of the command room, There's a ledge on the back wall, just attach it there. Bam, now it looks better, more centered in the chest and isn't wasting space that figures should use to stand in base mode.
The right arm being unable to be posed correctly in base mode like the original toy so the shoulder gun rotation is level with the grould is also bullshit. As is the whole roller component. They should have designed it so it stays completely flat when opened, more space to play instead of these back ramps and could be attached to the corner of one of them so the whole thing is positioned in a way that leaves enough space for the rotating turret to work without having to move the arm out of the way.
I like the toy, specially that it's full of real ratchet joints with the perfect strangth, but it really bothers me that they failed on those ridiculously easy things. It really hurts my overall enjoyement of the figure.
