#DuneImperium #TootReview (nach Erstpartie)

Ich musste überzeugt werden (Meta-Eindruck: 🤷), fand es dann umso besser. #BGG Top 10? Keine Ahnung. Es erfindet das Rad nicht neu, aber macht auch nichts falsch. Übersichtliche Regeln, zügige Runden, scheint abwechslungsreich. 👍

Sohn (11+) war es zu trocken und strategisch, ohne klare Zielführung am Beginn. Er muss wohl noch ein paar mal drüber schlafen. 😕

Material: Standardware, Karten ohne Finish. 🆗

⭐ 8/10

Fantastic paint details and a clever transformation make this Leader Class figure worth the price. I love the asymmetries large and small that make this toy look just a bit scarier. Extra cannon weapon plus integration with Core Class Freezer gives good play value. One of my favorites of the year.

After returning from holiday yesterday, I crashed out on the sofa and watched 'Jurassic World: Dominion'. It did manage to hold my attention for the 2.5 hr run time, but overall was a broad disappointment.
It set up interesting questions and themes, and then dropped them for a 'greatest hits' from the other films. I'd love to see the synopsis given to someone else to play with. There are maybe 2 good films in there, hidden under layers of poor scripting and directorial choices.

Deerskin was last night's watch. Outrageous, and hilarious. It's not very long, which means it doesn't outlast it's premise. I very much enjoyed it.
I can't guarantee you will though. My wife bounced straight off it. You do have to let it carry you where it wants to go. Even the slightest resistance will break the spell.

A lovely design and concept all around. Unique and interesting transformation, several removable accessories, plus the whole gimmick of removable limbs holds a lot of promise for this subgroup of new Junkions. The “Mad Max” vehicle design is just icing on the cake. Looking forward to collecting all the Junkion designs and repaints this year.

#TootReview of #Transformers #EarthSpark #Twitch:

Feels lightweight and hollow overall. Captures look of character well, but transformation into made-up drone feels lazy. Bump ratchets in elbows limit poseability. Multiple tabs on legs in drone mode are difficult to get locked together. I had to file down two tabs in her shoulders and one on her foot to get her transformed into drone mode securely.

#TootReview of #Transformers #StudioSeries 92 #Crosshairs:

A stunning figure in both modes. Clean car mode is simply gorgeous. Discreet weapon storage inside car doors/coat is a nice bonus. Transformation isn’t overly complicated, but causes car spoiler to pop off constantly. Arm and head articulation is somewhat limited by figure’s shoulder pads and collar. A worthwhile upgrade to his TLK design.

#TootReview of #Transformers #StudioSeries 93 #HotRod:

Beautiful detailing in both modes. Car mode is clean (although exhaust pipes pop off easily), but kibble impairs robot posability, especially at the knees. Weapon won’t fit straight in hand. Paint is gorgeous and all parts fit together well. This will definitely replace TLK Hot Rod on my shelf.
