Transformers Toys Studio Series Voyager The The Movie 86-23 Autobot Ratchet Toy, 6.5-inch, Action Figure for Boys and Girls Ages 8 and Up

Llegó rápido.

Transformers fans who grew up in the 1980s will remember the total confusion upon receiving Ratchet or Ironhide as a gift or seeing them at a friends house. Of course, that was before the internet and an understanding of the original toy(which did not resemble the animation or comic model in any way) was not easily accessible. Great strides have been made in recent years to rectify these issues. The result is what you see here. Ratchet in all his animated glory with a beautiful alt mode. As a robot, Ratchet looks perfect. The detailing is fantastic. Some might point to the Autobot sign of life being inaccurate and lament the lack of red cross (copyright issue) as being inaccurate, however the red cross was primarily the comics and the animation model frequently had nothing on the shoulders, as is the case for the 1986 movie. The Vanette ambulance mode looks great too. The mold is about as perfect as one can expect, and I enjoyed figuring out how everything fit together neatly on my own(I love puzzles and usually try to avoid the manuals). There is a fair amount of painted transparent plastic on this figure. This means that several parts are inherently fragile and will become more fragile with age. This also means that there is some minor color mismatching in Vanette ambulance mode. One thing that is lacking on the figure is coloring details Stripes and other details are nicely molded into the model, but there is no color applied. A window and bumper are molded into the back of the vanette, but are solid white plastic. I will not advertise a third party by name, but there are companies making sticker sheets to address these issues for this and many other figures. While I have not used them yet, I may end up getting a sticker set for this figure to address these minor issues. As for packaging, I was initially concerned when online reviews for the figure had pointed out that the light bar components on the legs were loose and could stand to be glued in place. The open front packaging means that loose pieces are not likely to be securely contained within the box. I was pleased to find that the manufacturer had secured these pieces to the figure with rubber bands inside the packaging. I also have to note that with the windowless open box design, orders filled by Amazon Prime typically have these boxes contained inside a sealed plastic bag just in case this sort of thing is or becomes a problem. Overall an excellent figure for anyone who grew up with the show in the 80s
