ssjgoku22: Really nice representation of Bulkhead. XTB has been hitting it out of the park and there prices are really fair. Might consider picking this one up.

K. van Eijden: Absolutely one of the worst figures I have had the 'pleasure' of owning. My main motivation for buying Fuzz was to have him as a limb for Defensor, so I was willing to look past the stupidly intricate transformation and thin-ass shoulder ball joints.

I went in with zero expectations and was still disappointed. Fuzz is a floppy and loose mess that is held together by thoughts, prayers and weak joints. His head just 'sits' on the torso, his back is held up by a single hinge and doesn't tab in anywhere. There are thick scratches in the paint on spots where nothing was even touching the affected spots (see photo) and a piece broke off with me barely handling it. I haven't even transformed him, I am too afraid it will snap in half. On top of all of this, the hinges are not properly sanded and painted, appearing rough and uneven.

Xtransbots Fuzz feels like a knock-off of a Fanstoys Stunticon, despite Fuzz being only 25 bucks cheaper. There is diecast present, but its weak build and thin plastic negates what stability the diecast provides.

I will consider this guy a stand-in until a better company releases a Defensor. If you MUST own Streetwise, buy the upcoming MMC version if you want to present him separately, only go the XTB route if you are in for their Defensor and hope that he will not fall apart like their Menasor.

It gets 1 star for the nice headsculpt and packaging art. For the rest, avoid this figure like COVID19
ssjgoku22: That's good to know. If it's that bad, I'll be skipping the set entirely. Looks like XTB has not addressed their qc still. There are other good offerings for a Defensor (Generation Toy Guardian and the MMC Defensor), so at least there's other options beside XTB.

ssjgoku22: Hmmm, odd that this still hasn't released. Should have been released at the end of 2021. Hopefully it's soon.

ssjgoku22: Very good-looking Hot Spot, but is Generation Toy going to re-release the limbs, because those are sold out almost everywhere. Would be pointless to buy this if you can't get ahold of the other 4 limb bots.

ssjgoku22: Yawn, the Moon Studios
has a much better looking sculpt in my opinion and doesn't have all of the unsightly kibble hanging off the body. The price is the other negative for the Takara. I'll be sticking with Moon.

ssjgoku22: Funny how people can complain about Fanstoys prices but they're fine with paying $300-$400 for Takara figures that break upon opening. This thing looks great and is probably the best Perceptor that we will ever get for a while. Can't wait!

ssjgoku22: Kind of on the fence about this and the Newage. The Newage had nice paint, but the sculpt on this looks better. Probably would have bought both if they were cheaper, lol.
