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

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.

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.

Great condition and product is nice and good

I finally completed the #5 Dinobots of the SS-86 Movie series. Of the 5, Sludge has some issues that the other 4 didn't. His hip ratchets are kind of loose. Supposedly the 2nd batch were corrected. So I got stuck with the 1st. For collectors in the know, easily remedied with a little dab of clear floor polish. Of course this should not have been the case in the 1st place. Another issue, Hb had this lamebrain idea to add some side kicks with Grimlock( Wheelie but static) and Slag (Danny in his Exo suit, another static figure). I find these useless addition that , well added no value but increased the cost unnecessarily. For Sludge, nothing(not even his Looney Tunes optics). He did have his gun but with no sword. That part you can get with another version of Grimlock (Marvel Comic version that is). aaaaaaaarghTalk about abusing your loyal fanbase eh Hb? I just had to get it out of my chest. Anyways aside from those issues, Sludge is a solid figure for the then price point. Now that I have Swoop, I can now reenact my childhood memory scene from the 86 movie beating the snoot out of UW Devastar! Still a recommended purchase!

Classic 86 worth the money

Good items for price good quality

Fantastic figure and customer service. I had to send back the first copy I was sent as there were scratches on the dino mode head, the right arm was very loose, and it couldn't really stand under its own weight when in robot mode. The figure I was sent in return is perfect. Thank you!

Genial.

Item can in superb condition. Box was perfect for a misb collector like me.

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

Knee and hip articulation is a bit too weak for my liking, not to the point that its toppling over randomly but its very noticeable. Everything else is perfect, and the box isn't even damaged.
