So I understand those who changed their minds about buying this figure or even gave up their deposits because FT released their blaster prototype. However I really don’t appreciate FT’s business practices like this, it is no secret that FT likes to do the same thing to Xtransbot, and now FT also did DS dirty while having a heap of unfinished products…not cool. I still got my DS blaster though, love it, and I hope DS can do Thrust, Dirge, and Ramjet next.
I think, too, that this is the best Blaster figure ever released - and it might also be the best that ever will be released. I am really surprised how relatively simple the transformation is, and yet it took _this_ _long_ for some company to actually create a cartoon accurate Blaster figure. I wonder why.
It looks good. The face seems a little off to me, idk what it is though. Lol 😂 think I'm gonna wait the 5 years for the FT blaster. That way he can go with Accoustic Wave. Great job as always TMReviews!
Thanks for this review. I love how DS' very clean and toon-accurate approach to DS-01was also applied to this DS-02. However, the FT version's face is just so darn immaculate that I am having difficulty commiting to DS-02 at the moment.
Your reviews are always to the point. Thank you! I didn't know that TE and DS are the same company. TE's creations like TE-01 and TE-03 are so different than DS-01 in their approach. I have DS-01 and it is highly possible to get some chipping during transformation but I really enjoy this figure and I guess I will enjoy Blaster as well -still thinking of buying it.
Nice review. I put the tape upside down from the way you had it and I could get it out with the spring gimmick . But yes a perfect fit. Copies may vary.
Mine is on its way! Looks great but FT will win mostly on the paint job, I believe. I don’t mind the matte paint on the DS seekers, but I feel like Blaster needs a shiny paint job.
Congrats to DS for making a solid figure with impressive engineering. But he just seems so... plain. It's not just the flat colors. You can tell the face is Blaster, but otherwise the face seems so lifeless. Maybe part of it is I feel like it''s somewhat lacking in detail? I have the KFC Blaster... He's been in storage for years. From what I can remember, he looks the part, but he just never felt like like a masterpiece figure to me.
@@TMReviews I didn't see that in your review or skull faces. What broke? Can you show this so I don't break mine? I've done it several times without issue but I did have to open the back and push it out. One of the legs did fall off of ramhorn however it was easily pushed back in.
Thanks for the Great Review TM...I rather support TE/DS than FTs but, to me this Blaster is kinda off looking. The legs are a bit too Skinny and that makes the boom box look a bit off, smallish Speakers. The torso needs to be a bit broader, and the buttons are to close to the tape Door. I don't like it as much as the Seekers. KFC looks better to me, but ofcourse we know the Faults with that Blaster.
Mine literally came in today. It’s alright a bit disappointed but I feel like I get disappointed with anything that’s not Fanstoys. Call me a fanboy but FT got their figures down to a science
What bothers me about DS Blaster, is the lack of paint on Ramhorn. He looks so plain & boring to me. I’m not impressed with DS attempt here. Blaster looks ok. I want to see what FT can do with the tapes & Blaster.
What is the plastic quality like on this Guy? You mentioned it's fully painted and good build quality, but for some reason it still looks kinda cheap looking... like an up-scaled legends figure.
