Tbh I thought this guy’s ranting was mostly unwarranted and was just salty that it cost the same as other deluxe class toys. Just that. Salty over the price and the perceived lack of effort. I 1000% disagree with his complaints about the paint as the whole point of this line was to produce toys that are a cross between the original animation and the original toy release, Pipes literally has no other paint applications. None. So including any wouldn’t be faithful to his g1 toy or animation model. He’s literally dark blue and white with silver pipes. That’s it. Any other weapons or paint apps wouldn’t be representative of his designs. So really happy that you didn’t listen to him and bought it anyways.

I got this guy as I have basically collected every single regular retail Kingdom figure and I honestly prefer the Pipes mould over the Huffer..... in some ways. The backpack compacting like that is actually the official way of having it and improves the kibble and hollow look to the figure, The figure feels nicer in quality but has tighter joints than the Huffer. The wheels that hid in the chest can be pulled off and pegged into the shoulders to somehow make Pipes look more battle ready (I think that may just be me thinking that) and the weapons are better in my opinion as i wasn't a fan of the massive gun and shield as they cannot really do much else. Pipes has at least 3 or 4 options to store his weapons but i mostly keep them in their place on the arms. I got a Puffer that I have holding one of the blasters in one hand and the other stored on the leg as if it is a revolver holstered on a hip. It is a decent figure, I don't believe that it deserves to be a contender for worst figure already.

My Pipes came in from a Hasbro Pulse today, and I don’t see that any of your complaints are really justified. You also missed that the nubs on the end of the guns can peg into the top of the arms in truck mode to make a properly enormous pair of smokestacks. And sure, while Hasbro can do a little better (what company can’t?) you seem to forget that inflation, among a host of other factors are why prices are the way they are, and to expect figures to cost the same as they did 10 years ago when nothing else that you buy in 2022 does is both unreasonable and a little entitled. The only value I can see with your warnings to not buy this figure or any figure is if someone has to choose between a toy and having a warm meal, or a toy and having a roof over their head, at which point I wonder why someone in such financial turmoil should have any business trying to collect plastic figures until they have a disposable income and their financial affairs are in order?

I knew about those nodes, but that honestly just seemed like a fan mode thing. Like they aren't the proper shape to really interface with that, so they end up a little crooked when you use it. I do not expected to cost the same that it did 10 years ago, but I also do not tolerate it's costing 50% more while giving us 50% less. Not only do they cost more than ever this is worse than ever. And that argument does not work, when other figure's coming out at the same time in the same line are actually putting in the effort. This is not worth anyone's money. It is a worse significantly cheaper made retool of them already mediocre figure.

I shit you not, I legit slammed my head again a door frame when I realized at home. Luckily for the most part the rest of the day was a fantastic haul day for me.

Ehh I loved huffer and like this one just as much, especially with how nice his plastic feels and looks. He looks premium and the whites and blues fit together perfectly. Only issue I have with either mold is that it should’ve been a double jointed elbow, I don’t mind the smaller size for scaling reasons or even the hollow legs cause articulation, but they could’ve atleast added another joint to really push the figure over the edge. As it stands it isn’t my favorite mold, but definitely one of the better deluxes I feel like they’ve done. But also be careful, the arms are just pinned on and when my huffer took a shelf dive the arm popped off. Fits back on fine and is still tight but just a warning for anyone pulling on the arms for transformation

I agree with you on a lot of this. The arms especially should've been painted either show/toy silver, or Marvel G1 comic blue...but that would've been worse, perhaps. (And they KNOW they could've did better with the guns than what they did...) Unfortunately, the tiny slab of paint on the back of the truck cab that goes behind the head in robot mode...is pretty much an upgrade from the G1 figure, who was pretty minimally painted, too. Chest, shins & feet, bare blue. Thighs & other bits, bare white. Redesigned headlights, unpainted. Just the chrome arms (on black plastic), the red visor eye, and the very front of the truck grille & fender, that's it for paint on the G1 toy of Pipes. I do wish that for Kingdom Pipes, they would've kept to G1 toy styling with the big red visor eye, though...that would've been a little more color breakup. 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️

I like the additional swivel for the truck cab, even tho it doesn't change that it's just hanging off the back it feels like I'm doing more with it than huffer. Also, I'm pretty sure the backpack is meant to be the way it is in all the photography of this figure where it is lifted up and down to go along his back instead of they way you orient it where it sticks out of his back. Even the box art has it positioned that way. I'm not entirely sure if the instructions have it your way becuase I don't read instructions, but I would imagine that the backpack should be along his back. I respect your opinion, good review as usual.

Thank you very much, I have the backpack up like that because it was a hell it was always a shown in the show, this toy however it doesn't seem to want it draped across is that like that, either way it is not perfect. And I really feel like they could've done more to justify the cost.

@@PerspectiveEnd I agree about justifying the cost tho. But for me personally, no deluxe justifies the cost. A deluxe now costs as much as a voyager did ten years ago and has nothing to show for it. It’s supposed to be the cheaper of the classes but it’s honestly getting absurdly expensive to the point I can’t really justify my purchases anymore. Like no deluxe feels like it should be that much

I’m not sure how to feel about this. I mean it is slightly retooled but it’s not as lazy as Kingdom Leader Optimus or Kingdom Arcee which we’re just repackaged or any of the bubblejumpers.

I bought it because i already hot huffer so obviously I needed a pipes and to be honest I liked how he looked more than huffer because I like the flat cartoon look, to me the less paint means less chipping especially on white sections because white is usually chalky or underdone so I would be happy with it but somehow transformation seems to clash more in getting the arms out of the way, am I the only one with that issue?
@PerspectiveEnd
2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, honestly I do find this ones transformation to have the arms be a little clashy year with the cab section. And that makes sense why you like this more in terms of visuals, but I still can't help but feel ripped off considering it looks that way because of a lack of paint from being a too cheap.

I just got mine today. Honestly, the cab hanging out in robot mode does not look as bad to me in hand, but in the video it looked a lot worse. I think maybe because of how that's just how the character looked in G1, which in that case its bad character design for sure. But I do agree, this FEELS cheap as heck, I swear the plastic is so much thinner and flimsier than the Huffer, which is sad. While Im glad I have, im not sure how much ill be handling it, could break it easily.

Having not known who Pipes was, and not really caring now, I thought about buying maybe 2 or 3 or these as generic Autotroopers. But now I think I'll use Slammer as the Autotrooper since he's never had a robot mode before, meaning he doesn't really look like anyone, and you could combine them into some form of gestalt with multiple ones if you're creative enough
@PerspectiveEnd

You can do that. Slammer does it seem like a much better Genericon. Tyson could have worked for that but he is a so cheaply made. On the one hand that's good because you can paint am up however you want, on the other hand it's bad because he should be half as expensive.

I wish it had the toy accurate head like Road ranger and that the arms were silver…pipes. Y’know, the namesake! Red eyes would have broken up the monotony of his colour scheme somewhat. And they didn’t paint the taillights like come on. What’s with the sudden influx of low-budget repaints? On a possibly more positive note, what do you think of Legacy Iguanus? I think it looks messy, like one of those hot wheel toys that’s shaped like a spikey armoured humanoid positioned into a motorcycle but you can still tell it’s a person. It’s weird. Also this entire time I thought iguanus had catfish whiskers on the promotional art only to realize yesterday that it just kickback’s antenna and kickback was blending in with the background.
