Studio Series 86-15 Leader Class The The Movie 1986 Dinobot Sludge Action Figure, Ages 8 and Up, 8.5-inch | Transformers Studio Series 86 10 Inch Action Figure Leader Class - Dinobot Sludge

Let me start by saying that I grew up in the 80’s. I use the phrase “grew up” as a generic description of physical size, not as a statement of maturity. I am a middle age adult and I love Transformers. I really love Transformers When I saw they were bringing back remakes of the 1985 cartoon movie characters, particularly the Dinobots, I was in kid mode all over again. The Dinobots were and still are my favorites for many reasons. Now, with these newer larger figures, I feel like I can recapture what lost when I was young. I truly wished I still had my original Dinobots but those were destroyed in a house fire. Suffice to say that so far I am very pleased with this version Yes, I have the combiner one and the modern movie ones but these are more “raw” with a modern flare to them while maintaining the original stylings. As for the value and gift ability, these are a little high in cost, but they are bigger. As for gift ability, great for those who understand the premise and characters all though I would not recommend for real young people. The pieces are designed to come lose under pressure so that could be a chocking hazard. But I digress, amazing toy and I am anxious for the final two characters to be released. One interesting note, the makers are releasing them in the same order as the G1 cartoons. The last two were not created until a later first season episode. Stay safe everyone. Regards to all.

When I first saw this release of Sludge I wasn't sure it was worth the cost, these things are expensive! After I got him and saw how big and detailed he is, I was very happy to pay the cost. This is what you always wanted your dinobots to be when you were a kid. Bigger and bulkier than the average Transformer, this guy is formidable. He is not easy to transform though, so I think the target here is more collectors than kids.

Great condition and product is nice and good

Package arrived without damage. Bonus points that hasbro has changed package materials to easier recycle. Great details and looks great in either mode. Dino could be bigger though to scale with the rest of the crew. I saw alot of reviews about loose legs and that seems to be because of the transform mechanism where the legs have to slide together to make room for the tail. Still stands fine. There is an annoying gap in the chest of the dino mode but there are kits to fill it if you want.

Putting him into anything but a static A-stance is essentially impossible without adding a display stand for additional support, due to the floppy knees. Fortunately teh legs are held together by screws rather than pins or glued so you can get them apart to add a shim or some floor polish for more friction, but a toy that has to be fixed out fo the box can't really be recommended highly no matter how good it looks or how unique and inventive the transformation is. There are a few Sludges out there who win the quality control lottery and don't exhibit this problem, but by all reports they are vastly in the minority so be aware before you buy and manage your expectations. You could call it ironically appropriate, though, when by his own admission "Me Sludge obey strongest leader.... always obey!"

Probably my favorite dinobot of the set. He’s pretty large and is incredibly posable. Transformation is pretty fun but at times the front of his body doesn’t want to tab in. But otherwise he’s great he looks amazing with the other dinobots from SS86.

Classic 86 worth the money

Good items for price good quality

Genial.

👍👍👍

The Dinobots were my favorite thing about Transformers as a kid and this figure doesn't disappoint. The figure is nice and big and beefy and looks great size wise against the Fall of Cybertron and Legacy series figures. The gun looks good. Dino mode mostly looks great. A couple spots during the transformation were a bit finicky bit once I got them figured out it goes a lot more smoothly now. The only downside I find is in dino mode. The toes of the robot mode sit under the belly and pretty much touch the surface of whatever the figure is standing on. Luckily there s a 3rd party kit to give him robot mode toes that will fold up into the dino models underside, but that is something Hasbro should have added to the figure itself

1/5 dinobots from the 1980s transformers cartoons, this figure is a mini masterpiece with cartoon accurate features and loads of articulation so can be posed in many ways

now were is my swoop order?
