Alternity A-04 Okamora Orochi - Skywarp Purple Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Skywarp is one of the original Seeker jets. Anyone familiar with his brothers, Starscream and Thundercracker, know that he's the purple one, Thundercracker is the blue one, and Starscream is the red one. Well, the Japanese artists/engineers have really pushed the boundaries with these three figures and in many ways will be offending the traditionalists. All three of these figures have elements that let you know who they are. The wings on their backs. The null ray canons mounted on their arms. The small wings jutting from their legs. And the over the shoulder in-takes. But the artists have done an amazing job of thinking outside of the box and truly created a new take on these classic staples of the Transformers universe.
I'm impressed with the style, the poseability, and the look of each of the Seekers. Starscream has a different head as the leader of the Seekers and is creepy and cool at the same time. Thundercracker's and Skywarp's heads are amazing. They bring you back to the originals but provide a new updated look.
The transformation of each of these figures can be a bit challenging the first time around. The doors are meant to pop off as they are attached with a ball joint. This can be frustrating but it is easy enough to pop these off during transformation and to reattach these at the conclusion. The figures can be displayed in a variety of poses. This said, the figures are not that "solid," meaning that everything doesn't tightly snap into place. If you move the arms up too high, the over-the-shoulder in-takes move out of alignment. This is clearly not a toy meant for kids but rather for adults who want to pose this on their shelves or display cases.
Still, even with these downsides, I recommend these figures if only to have a new, modern, pushing-the-envelope version of these three classic bad guys of the Decepticon ranks.
