sludge has no wrist swivels and can barely hold his gun. the sword holds securely, but he can't hold it straight because the guard bumps into the forearm.
slag has clearance issues with transforming the frills. he lacks a waist swivel because the tail is connected to his lower body and tabbed into pegs on the upper body so it doesn't flop around. they also randomized his head to be either black or red. if it matters to you and you're buying brand new, you'd have to ask the seller to peek through the dino mouth in the package to determine which color it is.
swoop is probably the worst. the wings don't compact and fold up as much as you'd hope, so they always feel like a giant chunk of plastic hanging off his back. his waist swivel is pretty loose. his legs are needlessly ratcheted for how light he is. the outward ratchets have way too much space between teeth. moving each leg outwards once already puts him into a fairly wide A-stance. this would be tolerable except the gears have way too much give. this allows him to slump, forcing the legs into an even wider A-stance. the retail version also came with a blue body in a separate box. if you don't switch out the entire arm/wing assembly from the red to the blue body, the wings can potentially break when moving them if you aren't holding them correctly. the wing assembly installed in the blue body has extra notches added which makes rotating the wings incredibly tight, and the wings are assembled at the joints with thin plastic that won't hold up to much twisting.
