Title:
Needlenose With Sunbeam And Zig Zag
Description:
Needlenose (Deluxe Class, 2023)
TakaraTomy ID number: TL-23
Accessories: Vertical stabilizer, Sunbeam, Zigzag
Known designers: Mark Maher (Hasbro), Ittoku Kuwazu (TakaraTomy)
Part of the first wave of Legacy: Evolution Deluxe Class figures, Needlenose is based directly on his original toy, which gives him a rather simple transformation into his fighter jet mode. He comes with both his Targetmasters, Sunbeam and Zigzag, whom he can wield individually or as a combined weapon (marketed as an Evo-Fusion gimmick); their combined form can also be inserted into the jet’s exhaust to appear as a larger external thruster, or mounted on top of the jet mode if the vertical stabilizer is removed. They can be stored individually on the tips of his jet mode wings.
Zigzag is completely painted over, and his peg fits rather snugly into Sunbeam’s port, so care must be taken to avoid stress marks and paint chipping.
Needlenose contains some ports at the bottom of his jet mode/his robot mode chest, which can peg onto the top of Prime Universe Skyquake.
The official Hasbro promotional images had the color of Needlenose’s helmet incorrectly the same shade of gray as his torso, but the renders on the back of the packaging had the correct darker shade of the gray of the eventual release.
This figure was revealed during Hasbro Pulse Con 2022. It was scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2023 but arrived at Philippine retail in late November 2022.
