Toy Review: Transformers BotBots Barf Bag (series 5)


Review: 
#659
Name:  Barf Bag
Brand:  Transformers
Allegiance:  N/A
Line:  BotBots
Year of Release:  2020
Size Class:  BotBot (Series 5)
Mold Status:  redeco of Overpack

ALTERNATE MODE:


Barf Bag transforms into a backpack... that is painted like vomit is coming out of it.


Naturally, it's not the most appealing of paint schemes.  The mold itself is pretty good, complete painted straps.


In terms of size, Barf Bag is fairly small, above is a comparison against Legion Barricade.


A good mold but you'll either love or hate the paint scheme.

TRANSFORMATION:

Pull the top up to reveal the eyes, the arms pull out from the sides and the legs from the bottom.

ROBOT MODE:


Again, ignoring the paint scheme, the robot mode is very decent, with good proportions


The interesting part is how the backpack straps aren't split due to transformation, but is still one piece so it acts more like hair, and it works surprisingly well.


The head sculpt is basically two large painted eyes.


While Barf Bag gains a little bit of height in robot mode, he is still much shorter than the average Legion figure.


Articulation is limited to only swinging the arms forward and back.

OVERALL:

Barf Bag is a fantastic mold, just the vomit theme is not that great.  Unless you're super keen for this theme, it is better to get one of the other uses of this mold.
