Pleased beyond expectations here... Ironshell looked like a cool figure, and I love combiners, so ordering was kind of a no brainer. I expected the joints to be loose, the plastic to be cheap, and his size to be comparable to a voyager class from Hasbro. In reality the joints are tight, which makes for great posing and stability. Additionally the plastic is sturdy, and unlike Hasbro figures all of the color application is in the mold-work, not the paint, which means no chipping in the future. Lastly I must commend the size of the figure, which turned out to be more or less leader class, meaning Poseidon himself is sure to be a true leviathan. I highly recommend this!

I have to say as a first time experience with TFC this will not be my last. Their version of Snaptrap is BEAUTIFUL. He does have some tight and I mean toight joints.

I cannot wait till all the others are out. These should be on the list for any collector.

Far heftier than I estimated from the pics. The plastic quality is great, joints are tight and most or all of the details are acccomplished through the actual color of the plastic, not paint. Powerful, ratcheting robot, about the size of the original Beast Wars Ultra figures. Turtle mode is nothing to write home about, but if you see an actual Alligator Snapper they look this way, almost like they're bursting out of their shell and very angry looking (granted an actual snapper doesn't have teeth!) The back cannons are black, not transparent as in the photos, and this is a marked improvement.(however the head is indeed green and not black as in the original figure. I love the fact that they too can fold down to be used in robot mode. Hand gun clearly has grooves and tabs to fit somewhere but I haven't figured out where. Great detailing. Forming Poseidon should be a tight fit, but fun. Instructions are great and pieces are included to form the huge Poseidon sword, which apparently will be able to split into two swords as well. If you haven't gotten into the Poseidon figures yet, start with this one . Despite the unharmonious color scheme and somewhat unpainted look(green robot head for instance, somewhat disappears against the green backpack, Ironshell is just a joy to look at and play with.
