As a commander level figure, the toy isn't bad. The vehicle form looks excellent, however robot form is a bit lacking. Addition of the jet pack is a cool touch and it's molded well.

I purchased this toy for my son as a surprise.  I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when we got it, but was happy with what we received.  The toy was shipped very quickly and it was larger than I was expecting. The toy lights up and plays music which I think it pretty fun considering that it was a relatively inexpensive toy.  The figure on the toy is a thinner plastic, but the four wheeler is a more durable plastic.  The toy moves a pretty good distance with a good push.  It does not require batteries, or a remote control.  Everyone in my house is amused with it.  I wouldn't recommend this toy for a lot of really rough and tough play, as it doesn't seem intended for that.
Overall, for the price I'd have to say this toy is pretty adorable.

OK so I got this a while ago for my son. I thought orginally it was the real diecast sheriff car. I got it and it is a durable hard plastic, and it changes colors. It is not a shiny paint but more of a flat paint. We kept it since it was my fault for basing my order on the picture and not reading the fine print. lol. It came on time, and is a good toy. It has withheld my 2 yr old after 6 months when some others have not. Which is a good sign. So if the color changing doesnt bug you, and you don't want a metal one this is a great toy. It is durable, and we have not had any issues with it. The seller was great as well and we had no issues. It was a mistake that turned out okay lol!

I think that pretty much sums it up.  Sure, it's not the easiest Transformer to transform, and some of the parts (the rotor blades, for instance) aren't terribly good at staying *on*, but it's still an MH-65 that turns into an Autobot, so I'm not sure why you're not reading this review *after* you instinctively purchased this plastic rendering of pure awesome.  Unless you are reading it after having purchased it, in which case, well done, sir!  Or ma'am.  I don't discriminate, and neither does this ridiculously cool toy.

While I prefer this motorcycle design to that of Merle's original Triumph chopper, the quality of the toy is a step down.  First, Daryl's skin tone is too orange & reminds me of spray on tan.  Also, the rider position is more forward than the chopper.  I don't think that they articulated Daryl's neck enough in light of this.  When fully in rider position, his is looking down at a non-existent instrument cluster rather than up at the road.  It looks like the lost motorcycle scene from Weekend at Bernie's.  Overall, even when sitting upright holding only one handle, he appears too stiff.

The detail on the bike is also not as good as the first motorcycle toy.  This is most obvious looking at the headlight guard which is a not-so-great sculpt rather than a second separate piece.  Also when you compare the saddle bags from the first bike to the bag underneath the seat of the second bike, you can see the sculpt is softer and less precise.

By itself it is not a bad toy/model.  Next to the first version, it looks like some quality decisions were made to keep margins in line.  C'mon McFarlane show some pride.  Side by side the the new one doesn't look great & I probably would have skipped the purchase if I knew that ahead of time.

A Great representation of Roadbuster i must say, looks pretty spot on to his G1 version of course been more updated.  The Transformations is very simple yet effective and the articulation is well done although a bit limited on the hip because of the orange pieces but still you can give him great posses. It comes with a sticker sheet than you can apply in it if you so wish that goes pretty much all around the figure in different parts, however 2 stickers sheets are a choice since they go on the same place which is the chest. One is a Autobot symbol for a more G1 toy look and the other is the Wrecker symbol for a more comic look, once apply the other sticker has no place to go which is a bummer.

However my only grip with the figure is that there have been reports on some QC issues with it from paint applications to assembly issues, mine was no exceptions but lucky it was a simple fix. Mine had the issues that under the shoulder where the arm would rotate it was stuck in both shoulders, i was able to take it off with a combination of hot water and dish washing soup. The issue that i had on mine was that there where an excess of plastic from where there suppose to cut from the mold which was not very flush so i had to trim it for it to work and now it works like a charm.

Overall is a great figure, not perfect by all means because of my experience with it but still a great figure non the less.

It was a very good catch for the price, about $42 with free shipping, not bad. It is a real diecast, unlike many models from 21st century toys which are plastic only (not all of them). But I found a few cons:

1) Driver figure is fixed/glued, you cannot use it in another vehicle or change it for another driver from the same brand
2) Wheels roll but not very well, I use this for stop motion and live motion video, and for the later mode this won't work very well, maybe adding some oil to the wheels may fix it.
3) Few accessories. This is my first FOV model, and I have seen that other models include many accessories, but this one does include just 2 pieces of stowage and 2 figures.
4) The paint job on the figures is absolutely flat, no shades nor lights

It has very nice details and finish, but it's like factory new, not weathering.

I don't care about "this is not a toy, it's a collector item", I like to use these models, to play with them, I like when they have play value (movable pieces), this one has, but it could be better in several aspects, considering the price.

Unsolicited publicity: It will be used in the series "Plastic Commandos" available on youtube, also featured in the fan page on facebook.

This toy is a little more cheaper made than you expect.  However, it is fun and the shocks on the jeep are really cool.  My daughter enjoys playing with it.  Worth buying, just be prepared for more plastic than you think.

It looks good to me.  This unit has not been installed yet because the car  is in Ghana now.  It is okay.

The kids all love this car - they fight over it all the time.  It doesn't seem as durable as I had hoped, but so far it hasn't broken.  It also doesn't work very well on pavement - in the driveway it's okay.  I like that it is simple and requires the kids to use their energy to power it.  Overall, good toy and good design, and it keeps the kids happy.

For my little 3 year old boy. He loves this toy and I can see why. The toy is attractive in both vehicle and dinosaur mode. The LCD is crisp and well animated. You can change the driver and eyes of the toy which gives my son nice options. The sound is adjustable and what stands out is how the toy responds audibly to play when the tires rolling, the transformation itself, and the legs pounding the ground. Clever engineering.

For my daughter's birthday, having stumbled on a fabulous Playmobil sale, we've bought the final three dinosaur sets which will complete her collection -- including the Pteranodon.

At the right price -- which is roughly half of what it's offered for here (and what we paid for it) -- it's actually pretty neat, and certainly worthwhile. Unless you have a Pteranodon fanatic or truly want to complete your dino collection, I wouldn't be inclined to purchase it at MSRP. It's just not really worth that, in my opinion -- and I say this as a huge fan of Playmobil who generally accepts a fairly elevated price.

In this set, you get the Pteranodon himself, with a gray ABS plastic body, which is seamlessly molded to the rubber-like plastic wings. I would estimate his wingspan to be perhaps 7", and his wings are stationary - do not fold in. I kind of wish they did, that would just seem a bit more realistic. His head is pretty neat though, as his beak opens and closes by grasping his body and pressing the back of his head. In play, he could presumably swoop down and snag either the silver fish or orangey-red smake that come with the set. All in all, he's a nice looking dinosaur.

Included also is a tree with one branch which he is able to perch on (tho one would have to push down quite firmly to get him to do so). His feet can be tucked under him or pushed upright when he is perched upon the tree.

Like the majority of Playmobil, this set is made in Europe.

As big of a movie Optimus fan as I am, eventually I had to accept that only collecting the Autobots limits my collection and, well, it's just more fun to have a few bad guys. Since my favorite figures are Leader class size, it was only a matter of time before I got this guy.

The toy is very solid feeling in robot mode, I would say even more so than ROTF Leader Optimus. The torso is nice and thick, the legs have excellent articulation, and the face looks much more realistic than the first movie's Megatron toy. I really dig the feet even though the tracks aren't real. This design actually isn't supposed to match his design from the movie 100%; this figure is based on an earlier sketch/version of Megatron that was later modified to give us the movie version.

As for the cons of the robot mode, I do agree with most criticisms: the left arm looks horribly shriveled up, while his right arm is basically a huge non-articulated cannon with a flip-out sword feature. But in person this doesn't look AS bad as you might think, and if you pose Megatron the right way it doesn't look half bad; I think the skinny arm was limited because of the way it has to fold in alt mode. The head is limited in articulation, it kinda swivels in a roughly 60-degree arc. there is no waist articulation, although that is a small con for the overall figure. I am still satisfied with Megatron in robot mode as a bad guy figure. Might not feel the same way if I was a Megatron fan and collector, though.

In alt mode, the tank looks pretty cool, although it was somewhat of a letdown for me. It's not as sturdy as the robot mode, and the tracks don't function (as previously mentioned) so it rolls on small wheels that are embedded in the faux tracks. But it looks pretty movie accurate, and I know some people have complained that you can see Megatrons face in plain sight at the front of the tank, but if you watch ROTF and hit pause when he transforms into the tank, you can clearly see that his face DOES poke out, so I think it was by design (it doesn't seem like it would be terribly difficult to just push his head into his torso either). Proof: [...]

Overall I am satisfied with this figure as a Megatron matching in size and detail to my collection of Leader class TF figures, and given current prices for a MISB Megatron, I'd say find a used from an adult collector on eBay. Get one!

The face looks nothing like Michael, but the awesomeness of the truck makes up for it. The packaging is almost as cool as the toy.

Nothing overly wrong with it. I was under the impression that it was motorized, which it isn't. Feels like a lot to pay for a standard ride on toy with a horn and a lift up seat compartment.

It's a cute toy, I bought it for the car. The downside is that it's hard to find a way to asign it. On the picture the plastic looks a little better than in life too.

Usually on a product like this I am suspicious of the poor quality parts -- plastic pieces where there should me metal, poor joints, etc.  That isn't the case here, as the pieces are generally high quality.  And it is a very fun trike.  The design, however, could be better.  Issues that could -- and should -- have been addressed in the design phase, such as the ease of adjusting the seat and filling the tire with air, didn't get the attention that they really deserved.

Don't get me wrong, it is a really fun trike and is plainly built to last, but it really could have been even better.
