Review: Transformers Combiner Wars G2 FireFly/FireFlight Review



Here we have FireFly also named FireFlight from the G2 Superion Combiner Wars Set. He is the same as the previous release except now in G2 colors.


He is mostly molded in white, and has a silver torso and silver hands and feet. The red backpack brings out the outline of the torso very well.  Lots of little details on the mold itself, but it is hard to see because it is white. A wash would bring out the details a lot more.
From the side you can see the big backpack and how large the feet are, which give it a lot of stability for a deluxe figure.
The entire cockpit and nose is seen from the back.


Articulation
The head can turn all the way around, and can look up a lot and down a little bit.
The arms can spin all the way around and it has a double jointed shoulder which gives it a lot more range of movement. The elbows bend 90 degrees forward and 90 degrees backwards and has a bicep swivel but no wrist swivel.
It has a waist swivel, and the legs go 90 degrees forward, and backwards. Knee bends 90 degrees and has no articulation on the feet. it is molded into the leg.

It comes with a blue gun, and the blue fist/foot piece.

Size Comparison
Here he is next to voyager Silverbolt, deluxe bumblebee and leader megatron. He is about 13cm tall to the top of his head.

Here he is in his jet mode. He is a modified Harrier Jump Jet and it looks great. This has a wingspan of 10cm so this makes it an approximate 1:92 scale model. This is his G2 paint job so he has the G2 symbol and the number 3 on his wing and tailfin. There are lots of panel lines on this jet, but again, they are pretty hard to see. A quick paint wash on here will bring out a lot of details.
There is an annoying seam line going through the cockpit.
On the bottom, you see a lot bulky robot parts just like almost every airplane transformer in existance. It does have front landing gear, but no rear landing gear.
You can put guns on the 5mm holes on the bottom of the wings, but that just makes it look really strange.
