I think they were like that brand-new, it's not matched particularly well (and I think probably connects with different types of plastic used for joint pieces to those that take paint, without digging him out). I did patch paint the bright yellow bits.
I was going to say "but the blues match in the pictures I've seen people take of him", until I took some pictures of my own...and the blues matched perfectly on-screen even though they're totally different in real life.
After having him for a few days, I've decided that the different shades of blue actually contrast pretty nicely.

Yeah, these things retail for between $20 and $25 here, which is pretty nuts for what they are.

He's one of the ones I've had my eye on, actually. Wildwheel and Thunderhowl likewise. I'm also quite fond of their take on Slag (it's significantly nicer than the bland SS86 figure), but they're selling
that for the same price as a Generations Deluxe and that's bad comedy. I doubt I'll grab any other Cyberverse stuff unless I luck into a good clearance again, or if they wind up at Dollarama or something.

I've always loved that figure. The other RiD Autobots never really did much for me, because they followed the same heavily-kibbled design aesthetic as the Japanese BW molds. But Prowl, for whatever reason, makes it look good.
I need to track down another, one of these days. Mine has a broken door. Maybe the blue version, for variety?

Gen Selects Cyclonus too. I have the lavender one, but it would be awesome to have one colored like the toy I had back in the day.
I thought I was going to love this right up until I actually saw it. I think it's because I associate these colours with Marvel, and the character model in the comics was just so different to the cartoon one.
