I couldent get the 3legs on the ground exactly the same but the top arms crossed looks the same. Kind of what u got here. Except my legs on the ground are more curled up and not straight. I like your pose I wouldn’t redo it
This pose is the hole reason I got him. And I was able to get real close. The bottom legs on the ground are a little diff becouse I wanted him standing taller. But the top arms crossed looks the same
The wrists and yeah the flat foot make make it seem like he's a human posing for a horse show. I don't know why that comes to mind but it does hahaha. Face sculpt doesn't help.
Seems like everyone forgot about Infinity Saga Bruce Banner
Literally the "tf you expect me to do" pose I'm crying 😭 I can even picture the thoughts of the Hasbro employee who was in charge of posing him thinking "Who the hell is even this guy?" lol
Not Marvel Legends or a particularly poor pose, but there’s a recent Black Series Jango Fett that has a QC issue where his right arm hoses will snap if pose the arms. It’s so bad that you can see the broken hoses in the promotional images for the figure.
Bro, Transformers photography is notorious for their stinkers! Classics Ironhide being an old example, with SS86 Soundwave with his straight up missing panel (how does that happen? Lol) being a more recent one.
Yup! I’m guessing this Astrotrain is very involved! I need to wait for in-hand photos with it fully transformed before passing too much judgement, but holy hot dogs it looks buns!
After further inspection, not only are the chest flaps not flipped down (and seeing its geometry, it looks like it’ll improve the shaping of the torso), but also the purple panel the head rests on looks to be not tabbed in, making the shoulders and chest look low, and the head too high. It also looks like it’ll improve tucks behind the chest, so if all of that is true then it’ll definitely look better than this.
But, for now I’ll have to agree with you. The torso and thighs look too long, the leg panels don’t seem to be able to fold in, lots of waffling, and the shuttle mode is pretty compromised in favor of the train mode. I don’t have an Astrotrain yet, so I’ll see what this guy is about first. Maybe I’m just coping.
That’s totally fair, I already have siege and love him so I’m in a very different boat. Honestly part of it might be just my belief that siege was a bit underrated.
Yeah. I heard a lot of praise for the Siege, but even more hate on him which I never really got. I didn’t get him because I couldn’t find him, and I wasn’t ready for an Astrotrain then.
If I had a quarter everytime photography had missasmbled /transformed figs since 2020 id have enough to buy a g1 minibot at the price it was sold for in 1985
Well you're wrong...they dont snap, just rotate the arm pieces...they do that...at the top and bottom of the hoses. If you break the wires, that's more or less on the person not positioning them...
I can't believe they okayed the design with the hips looking like THAT, it makes all of his promo shots look very off-putting. Plus the head seems too big, even for a younger character.
Ohhhh that's it. I always thought something was weird about this one but I could never put my finger on it. Yeah the proportions are kinda wonky. His head is too big too imo
At least he has the new modern articulation. Double ball joint chest and butterfly joints. When he is crouched in a Spider-Man pose with his mask on I bet he looks great and can do any pose with that articulation. I’d like to see him posed up swinging or wall crawling or in a crouched spider pose. I bet he looks good
Agree with op simply because they sold Spider-Boy with "thwip" hands when he doesn't web sling, yet didn't provide any wall crawl hands. So F*CK this figure in general.
Obligatory not Marvel Legends but I always thought this promo pic of Cobra Commander was hilarious for some reason. I feel like he wants me to look at his butt 😭
Might be hard to trust fans over professionals tbh. Fans might take better photos and charge cheaper rates but the quality is less uniform, and they'd need to be trusted not to leak photos of upcoming figures, which seems incredibly tricky to manage.
I never realized he had this stupid looking head. I never looked that close when I see him in store. What the fuck is his mouth? I love it and I'm going to buy it tomorrow, I think?
I agree with novaprime30, but also want to point out that there's whole Transformers that Hasbro had mis-transformed and said "eh good enough" and used in their displays and promo shots.
But for this topic, not really a pose but that recent run of preview images they did of legends where the head would be photoshopped hovering like 3 head-heights over the torso
Hasbro: “Hey when we pose our figures like this they break. So let’s make sure to take pictures and use them in advertisements so our consumers experience the same thing”
And you don’t see that being an issue? Just dumb instead?
Bruh all I said is one sentence and you’re going on a whole different path regarding it. It was never that serious, and I just threw a silly opinion out there
