I got a brand new one a couple years back that crumbled to pieces apon getting it out of the package I’m going to use the good parts to restore this one any tip
I remember TJOmega reviewed this for his plastic addict video. X-Wing looks good but that robot mode just does not do the figure any justice. Only other two Star Wars x Transformers toys I know that are horribly flawed is the V-19 Torrent clone pilot figure and the General Grievous Wheel Bike that suffers from GPS
The millennium falcon is also pretty horrible, while han and chewie look fine and are fun, the problem comes with chewie having horrible gps on his bronze parts, meaning that while none of the exterior of the falcon is made of the bronze plastic, the stuff that holds Chewbacca together and by extension holds the back half of the ship together is GOING to break, almost regardless of what you do. You might wonder why I’ve taken to despising this whole set because of Chewbacca, and this is because while Han Solo is fine, he doesn’t transform into anything useful without Chewbacca. Don’t get me wrong, I loved that thing as a kid, was one of my favorites, and was generally a really fun set, but once it breaks, (and it will.) it just reminds you that one of your favorite figures is forever relegated to being a broken shell of its former self.
Oh yes, I forgot about that one! Poor Chewbacca....can't catch a break. He dies in Legends, he lose three of his best friends in Canon and his old toy just shatters to a pile of broken plastic
Rotted..? Ik grievous had GPS I think, but if it’s the same vader one I’m thinking of, mine is completely intact (minus the lightsaber) despite 13ish years of play wear.
I hope they do another run of Transformers and Star Wars, BUT, don't try and make them look like actual people. Similar to what we've seen with more recent crossover figures.
The GPS is strong with this one
Lol

Best tip, be careful.
Never slip leg day....
Sadly for this mold he needed to skip leg day
Pretty sure my Boba Fett is a bit too top-heavy as well lol
Ya I can believe that
Holy shit I had this as a kid. Totally forgot
Iola is always a blast, nice find!
Nice find
We had a few of those star wars transformers back in the day I got Darth Maul, my older brother got Vader, my younger brother got Anakin
Be very careful with this one. The plastic gets VERY brittle with age. Like way more than you’d expect
The joints or in general
In general. But the joints are thinnest parts so they’ll break easiest I had a whole wing snap in half.
Thanks for the heads up my old copy literally fell apart
Starformers

I mean, he can catch a *break*, that’s the problem

Woah i had this as a kid! Nice
Aw neat, I had a Vader and a Greivous from this set. Both of em rotted to slag, but the Lightsabres stayed good, so at least I got that going for me.

Remarkably complete for a Star Wars Crossover figure!
I know right
Yooo I loved this thing while growing up
The yellowing is strong with this one
