Transformers Toys Studio Series 86-17 Voyager Class The The Movie 1986 Ironhide Action Figure - Ages 8 and Up, 6.5-inch

Ironhide toys have had a hard evolution.The initial toy was nothing like the 80s show. The War For Cybertron line addressed many issues, but when the earthrise vanette variation came out, Ironhide's feet were sticking off the back of the vehicle.Prior to this figure, if you wanted a cartoon accurate Ironhide, you were going to have to pay for a masterpiece grade version that was great, but not in scale with the other toys(unless you collected a lot of masterpiece grade versions). Here we finally have Ironhide done right.Ironhide is about as perfect as I can picture him being in robot mode. Articulation means that you can pose this dynamic, energetic, and active character as he appeared in the show and movie without compromise. He dual wields his pistols like the true gunfighter he is.Ironhide looks very good as a vanette. No "partsforming" is involved in the transformation. The pistols can be stored either on the bottom of the van or pegged into the top.The only minor issue concerns molded details on the van that have no color. The strip is molded on the side, but has no color. The back of the vanette has a solid red "window" while all the other windows on the vanette are transparant blue plastic. The rear bumper is at least painted silver.I may end up purchasing a third party stick sheet to address this issue, but this is really the only issue I see with the figure.Overall a great figure. Fans of the 80s show will be extremely pleased that this character finally got a worthy treatment at a great price point.

Wonderful figure.

I have been collecting the Transformers since 1986 I love ❤️ the Transformers especially the G1 Transformers I am so pleased with Iron Hide he is one of my favorites I am so happy that Hasbro is making all the G1 Transformers all the Transformers from the 1986 The Transformers The Movie figures Iron Hide he is pretty awesome he is bad to the metal 😀

I really in '86 transformers, I being watched it when I was very young.

Like most I was excited beyond words with the announcement of the Studio Series 86 line. I can still remember the excitement of a 9 year old boy sitting in the theater to watch my favorite characters on the big screen and the emotional scarring seeing so many of the characters I loved dying but I digress.That being said this Ironside figure is a true favorite of mine. He has that look I wanted in ‘84 of a screen accurate figure and looks great with the other figures I’ve collected. He arrived ahead of schedule in a well packed shipper with no defects. Mama Bear Toys went above and beyond and even included a hand written note of thanks and well wishes for the new year on the receipt. Maybe others do that but this is a first for me. A real class act and I will definitely buy from Mama Bear again.

Bought this for my son - who's collecting these 86 series - he loved it!

Ironhide is 6" tall by 3.5" wide. This figure looks great in robot mode. It poses very well and holds them decently. The transformation is a bit complex and may suffer from some tolerance issues. I personally will only display or have this figure in robot mode. The van/alt mode looks ok, I don't like how the plastic red colors don't all match and the roof part on mine won't stay clipped together. Overall I really do recommend this figure as it's a fantastic representation of the character from the 80s cartoon and animated movie. Blast effects from other transformers work on his guns and he has great details throughout. Truely a really well done figure for the money.

My concern with getting a figure of this cost from Amazon is when it has windowless packaging and no product images straight from the seller, but thankfully my concerns were unwarranted with this figure as it arrived in great condition! Minor paint chips at the top of the chest area, but nothing worth giving anything less than a 5-star, other than the voyager price. Ironhide has incredibly mobility, and while I haven't transformed him myself, I'm aware the process is enjoyable.
