Instead of going out to track down every one of the Titans, I came upon the realization that they weren't going to make Blue, and that it was actually exclusive to this set. Luckily I live near several Targets, and upon seeing this 4 pack, I grabbed it since I'm a completist. Before these came out, collectors denounced them for one obvious glaring mistake, and no, it's not the fact that they have no feathers...
Never mind that Echo and Blue are the same mold. That's not the problem here. The hyperextendable 2nd pedal digit on all of them...the ONE THING THAT MAKES VELOCIRAPTOR FAMOUS is missing. Is it a danger hazard? No. What the heck Hasbro? We all were scratching our heads over this one! This is unacceptable! This is the one thing that breaks this entire line, even worse than the low quality or the fact that there were no humans (those 2 inch abominable humans do not count). This is reprehensible, and there's videos on youtube of dinosaur toy enthusiasts losing their minds over this and how pathetic these toys are. *sigh*. Let's move on.
Blue is the special one here since you can't get her on her own. The articulation on these things is...pathetic.
You may remember the Indominus rex vs. Ankylosaurus Target two pack? This set also comes with one of these UV lights! I think one of the Bionicle like Hero-Mashers had a Target exclusive that featured this light up gimmick. It makes Blue cool!
This is the one redeeming feature for these four. If you ABSOLUTELY MUST GET THIS SET, please buy the Target exclusive 4 pack.
Please tell me you see Delta's problem here. If you do, you get a cookie. Hint: Quality Control.
I'm not saying these are terrible molds, they really aren't, it's just that their mouths are always open, articulation is limited, and the hyperextendable toe... Keep in mind that Charlie here looks like the other Growlers which were released later last year, whereas Delta does not. Blue and Echo kind of look like Growlers Blue and...Echo... Kind of a scale-up of that Growler Blue mold.
I want to mention that this isn't what they look in the films. These colors are diluted and simple so you can tell them apart. Otherwise Echo would look somewhat different, instead of this papaya orange.
Blue and Echo together. Sisters in crime.
That's them with the growlers, which I will begin reviewing momentarily. All in all, buy this if you absolutely have to, and again, if you absolutely must have this, make sure it's the Target 4 pack, otherwise you'll be missing Blue forever because for some reason they didn't release a normal Titan Blue. This is Hasbro screwing with people who do not live in the USA. Shame on them. Everyone has a right to enjoy these attractions, not just the super rich.
