To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Transformers, Lio Convoy from the anime "Beast Wars II Super Life Form Transformers" is now available in a premium finish! Commander Lio Convoy from the anime "Beast Wars II" is now available as a 40th anniversary product.
Fully transforms from a white lion into a fully movable action figure. The anime design is reproduced with a newly sculpted lion head. The lion claws, a fighting weapon, are movable. Reproduce the deadly Lion Typhoon. Can be rotated manually.
That's it?
Disappointed!
Maybe some white paint on the red parts seen in the lion mode. They should be the undersides of all the pieces if I'm not mistaken so that they don't affect the robot mode. Maybe some gold paint on the red hinges on the arms for the small mane pieces. That would've been the very least other than the new mane and lion head.
However I'd pay quite a bit more if they retooled those Primus awful kibble chunks on the robot arms. Those arms and the chest and the way it all converts for lion mode sucks. And those lion leg and shoulder kibble chunks on the robot arms is horrible. There had to be a better way to do all of that, especially on a release that could've cost anything really. I can think of a few better ways actually. None of which would really be crazy either. This figure would be so much better if something was done with all that junk. But no, longer blades in the lion legs to make the bad looking weapons look slightly less bad.
I just noticed. They didn't paint the molded in mane on the lion's back plate. You've got to be kidding me.
