Video Review! Fansproject Crossfire 02 Bruticus Upgrade Set
Lee Rodriguez | Sep 02, 2010 | 8 comments
It’s PoP!’s first video review and we picked a winner. Fansproject’s newest offering blows away even the highest of expectations. We take a look at all the various modes and features of this huge beast of a bot.
For more sweet pictures, check out our Figure 8 on the set!
I’d definitely like to see more video reviews!
My Blast Off’s hips are fine (*knock on wood*), but his shoulders are loose, so trying to hold up the guns in robot mode, doesn’t work that well.
However, his loosest joint is still tighter than any of the joints off of my Target Superion, which was all Hasbro, so, that’s not that bad, considering the official company’s is looser than a third-party product.
The only thing I wish FP would’ve included, which is asking for alot, considering how much we get in each set, is new, more G1-style heads for the remaining 3 Hasbots. But replacing them would require major kitbashing, and like I said, for the price – as much as it is – we got a helluvalot of cool stuff.
I’m sure I (or someone better at KBing than I) can come up with a solution for Brawl, Vortex & Onslaught’s heads.
I’ve seen shots of kitbashes of the remaining heads, including a Grimlock head on Onslaught. Personally, I’m fine with them not including them specifically because removing pin-heads is a MAJOR ordeal and that’s just asking for someone to break something.
Links?
Eh, they’re around. They were linked in one of the Crossfire threads at TFW.

Love the review, I defnitly want to see more of these. I would of liked to have seen a side by side comparison though.
Also, maybe shorter reviews, while I loved the amount of detail given to this, maybe one trimmed down to 7 to 10 minutes would be better. But what do I know, I just like watching.
Bear in mind Juan, this WAS Lee editing it down. The next PoP! jersey is set to come with the three disc director’s edition.
For my money, the best part is the commentary track on his commentary.
i just saw the comapring pic on the figure 8, way cool. LOL, i applied to 5 new jobs after seeing this just so I can afford shit like this,
