Any thoughts, positive or negative about this figure?

My only negatives are 1) the alt-mode has a fat butt, since the feet basically become the horizontal stabilizers. 2) he only has landing gear if you attach the two weapons to the wings, which sort of ruins the alt-mode's otherwise streamlined appearance.

Other than that I think it's a great figure and probably my favorite TR Deluxe so far.

I despise Highbrow and hated

I despise Highbrow and hated him so much I returned him. I honestly think he's unacceptably bad. The stupid head wobble is my biggest issue, but I also hate his non-locking hands and rotors that can't fold. For me, Highbrow is one of the absolute worst TR figures released.

Hm... I'm going to have to agree with both of you. I'm pretty split on highbrow, but my feelings are definitely more on the positive side. The neck is annoying, sure but I can look past it. To me, the figure is not great, not terrible but just pretty good.

Thanks for the input, but I

Thanks for the input, but I don't know, I've been a little conflicted on what background my pictures should have. I decided on this desk because, I feel that it keeps them dynamic and engaging. So many pictures on this site stick with a white back drop, and while that has it's place, my pictures like that never really satisfied me. I like my pictures better now due to their (what I think is) dynamic and involved nature. I just feel like the desk shows what I'm doing, gives you insight into what my photo area or whatever is like, and helps them stand out among other reviewers' images.
Kind of like optimal III's pictures!

Cool pics!

Thanks for the compliment, quinncat! I enjoy your reviews & pics too. Your preferred backdrop sets a sort of "toy/collectible" tone, which is a nice consistency. I'm in the same boat as you. I sort of go back and forth on what the background should be and how I should present my toys. And most of the time, I've got the same idea. That using whatever desk I'm at (work or home) with whatever I've got lying around just works and is fun.

That being said, I'm sorry it

That being said, I'm sorry it bothers you so much that you felt compelled to make an account just to say that! Maybe I'll work on it in the future if there are more people on the site who feel that way!

Your right it is fun! I like from both of our review images you can get some insight on where we make our reviews. I mean, I write them in my attic where the desk in my reviews is in!
