| A Collector's Review |
The Premium Barricade transformer is great for display, and has excellent articulation. The detail is top notch, bearing the "To Punish and Enslave" tag on one rear quarter panel and a license plate reading 'DCPTCN'. It comes with a tiny Frenzy transformer that can be taken out of Barricade's chest/grill, but he isn't much to look at. Barricade's left arm has a small trigger you can press that makes his forearm pop forward in a 'punch,' but if you don't do it just right it looks less like a punch and more like his arm is just extending downward. He holds together fairly well, but you have to be careful when transforming him (especially from robot to car). The bottom line is if you like Transformers and want the toys, definitely pick this one up IF you plan on displaying it and not working the parts a lot. If you're thinking about buying this for a child to play with, you should look at some of the bulkier lines of transformers made to handle wear and tear. Younger children just don't have the hand dexterity take care of this model, and it probably wouldn't take much transforming/battling for Barricade to break. |
