The Pink & Black Attack!

The Pink & Black Attack!

In Box...

So Buffalo Crush arrived and he's pretty solid. Again the plastic quality is excellent and his colors are VERY cool in that Garish G2 Transformers way. The Pink, Crystal Green, Black & Gold trim work shockingly well together and personally remind of the WWE tag team the Hart Foundation. The Double Axe weapons are also pretty cool giving him a Viking Berserker vibe...despite of his overall pinkness. Also his "Chest Armor" Card Accessory is okay...and is at least better than FlashVector's Rollerblades. I'm honestly not the biggest fan of these "Card Accessories" so far...but it's possible that will change as I collect more MCBs.

His Alternate Mode is also very fun & unique as he comes off like a Hybrid of G1 Gears & G2 Jolt. You'd think there would be more Monster Trucks in the Transformers franchise wouldn't you?

Unleashed & Ready to Rumble!

The figure does have some minor flaws but it's nothing that ruins him outright. His legs are missing a couple of standard points of articulation and his back kibble (while very tidy) can restrict arm articulation. Also his hands being bright white seems like a mistake as they probably would have looked better black or Gold...but it's possible they are white for a reason I don't know.

This was the first ever Metal Cardbot I became aware of thanks to Thew Adams reviewing him on his Toygrind show & I have to admit he is a fun toy despite not being as good as FlashVector.

My First Metal Cardbot...

So...FlashVector turned out to be better than I could have ever expected. He basically looks & feels like a Hybrid of Mirage & Hot Rod (Yes...I'm referencing Transformers as they are the best possible comparisons I can make) at a VERY tall Voyager Class size. The Plastic quality is Excellent with no gaps or hollow parts and he feels solid & heavy. His color layout is simple but striking (Like Mirage with a few small touches of Red & Silver) & his Machete Weapons hint at a Speedster who would prefer to cut his enemies down up close & it gives him a slight Assassin vibe.

Honestly...I'm incredibly happy I decided to hop on the "Metal Cardbot Train" & I already have both Buffalo Crush & Tachy on the way.
