Impressive Action Figure

Flame Toys' Drift is a highly detailed and articulated non-transforming masterpiece action figure.



This premium figure features top-notch paint application and molded details. It has many LEDs, and a neat gimmick to activate the shoulder LEDs. Drift comes with a number of swords and swap out hands. Drift also has a cloth cape (that is unfortunately a different material / texture than in the promo images) that has an embedded wire allowing dynamic poses.



My copy has developed loose hip joints after being in a dynamic pose for a few months. It can still hold a pose if undisturbed. If it gets worse I will apply some Pledge to it. Also, one piece from the sword hilt broke off cleanly, as it appears a very thin amount of glue was applied originally. I have repaired it and while it no longer has the exact opening range as before, it still opens and closes as the gimmick intended.



I admit I pre-ordered Drift assuming it transformed. While I was disappointed to learn that Drift didn't actually transform, the action figure and the overall package impressed me enough that I went on to buy Tarn and Star Saber.
