Cang Toys Hero Class Axeetle, aka NOT Bombshell aka NOT Hardshell— An amazing figure. 4.75/5 Strengths: Plastic quality, paint quality, unique character design, engineering, playability, poseability, price point Weaknesses: Varying ball joint quality, hinge/swivel squeaking This toy a joy to transform and pose. Some die-cast parts add to the heft of this figure, making it feel substantial but not heavy. Most of joints are tight, making both posing and transformation satisfying and solid. They do squeak as you move some of them; this to me feels as an indication of tightness rather than overstress to the components. If this figure has a weakness, it is the tolerance of some of the ball joints. The wing shields (in both modes) have a decent range but disconnect from the socket relatively easily, especially compared to the tolerances of other parts of the figure. Fortunately, the wing ball joints pop back into place just as easily. In the beetle alt-mode, The ball joints of the insect legs initially are quite stiff, but with sufficient play, loosen up and are unable to fully support the weight of the figure. The insect body can rest on the ground with the legs splayed out, and it looks good when posed this way. If you are willing to apply some joint fixer (or equivalent), e.g. Kiki's, to these ball joints, this will allow them to fully support the weight of the body so he can stand in alt-mode. If you like mobile suit or gundam -style aesthetics, you are likely to enjoy the design of this figure, especially in robot mode. The color is vibrant, crisp, and applied with precision. This figure is Cang Toys' Hero class, which for me was ~$40 USD. To compare with mainline entries available at retail, this is less expensive than a Hasbro Transformers Voyager Class (~$43 USD), but is of the size, quality, and heft of a Leader Class (~$60 USD). The value makes it a must-have for those who like the design, the engineering, or the character. I accidentally dropped my figure, in the worst way, which snapped off the handle of the Axe/Horn. While I was ultimately able to repair it, I ultimately bought a second one, because of how much I like this figure. Finally, TFSafari's part in this was great. They ship quickly and let me know when the shipment headed out. Shipping cost was less than $5 USD and I received this—from China—in less than two weeks. Out of my entire collection, this figure is in my top five. An amazing figure. 4.75/5

Cang toys delivers again with their vision of the Insecticons. Easy transformation and great articulation makes them super fun to transform and pose.

Fast shipping, great figure. I might be switching from showzstore to tfsafari permanently

Joints are a little squeaky, but not too tight that they feel like they'll break. Leader sized, good conversion, fantastic aesthetic for a great price. Can't wait for the third one of these bugs.

An absolutely fantastic figure, great value for money as well, both modes are solid, transformation is fun, and the bot mode has great possibility.

I love this toy line. I'm looking forward to Swordion.

Absolutely love what Cang Toys are doing with these Insecticons. Cant wait to get the set together.

This guy is a very Gundam-esque take on an insecticon. He is wonderful! Well made, great materials and paint. You can't go wrong with this figure. He was so good, that I ordered the second one that was available and pre-ordered the third. I'm a fan for sure.

Decent plastic, large figure, excellent paint and esthetics, great articulation, I absolutely love this guy, have his brother already and awaiting the next one that is coming hopefully soon.

I cannot rate it because I have not received it yet.

Absolutely great and absolutely gorgeous. He's huge, very articulated, and the transformation is not overly complex. I really love mine and can't wait to get the 3rd figure of this line. For the price, he is an exceptional deal.
