Is it bad that I recognised him from just his right foot?

That's probably worse than not recognising him.

WfC Soundwave has a very distinctive clown foot.

The Kre-O blind bags are fun. Especially when they go on sale and I can grab a big handfull of them! Good times. This time around I grabbed three. Got 1 Guzzle and 2 Kickbacks out of it! Not bad at all, since getting doubles of the Kre-O figures means 1: more parts, and 2: Keep one in robot mode, the other in alternate mode!

Bought and cracked open on Twitter!

Added Guzzle to my Wreckers for some extra IDWness. He fits right in!

One bot, one bug!

Action G1 scene!

Really, G1 Megatron is awesome, despite his T-Rex tiny arms. He feel solid and heavy and his transformation is fun and clever. Truly, a marvel of engeneering. Well worth the price! Why didnt I hunt one down sooner?

And yes, I applied every single decals. It's G1 TOY Megatron after all!

Ok Kanrabat, this one's for you.

The autobots have taken hold of Trypticon city and now, to take it back, the Decepticons have formed an alliance with the gobots to take it back!

Trypticon looks so much like mecha Godzilla that I just wanted to do a Kaiju Battle!

Also, my wife was pointing out how these 3 all looked the same in alt mode so I thought of something goofy.

Thought this would be a fun pic. I was right.

And expensive as fawk. Even on sale. For my Canadian ass, I<m privileged to pay 25% more due to the exchange rate, 50% more on shipping costs, and an extra 30$ for my greedy government.

The end result is still worth it.

BTW, the best price you can get on the web is right where I bought it, at BBTS:

Man the excess cost most non-U.S. fans have to endure is a pure ball buster! I feel for you K-bat. Thanks for the link btw I just gotta justify when to get this guy....the only other non-tf figures he could stand by is Cloud Strife and Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star. unless I get Xovergen(sp?) tralerforce 8-}

You mean, this guy down below?

No, don't. He look nothing like Ginrai and I find completely pointless to pay that much money just to burry and hide a Classic OP inside.

Instead of spending cash on that 3p fig, why not get the reissue of the original G1 God Ginrai? The dude is incredible and there is so much play value in it! (If you don't already have one, that is.)

>Sold out at BBTS.

Sigh...

Only Ebay left:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Transformers-G1- ... 23457a3b94
is the cheapest one for a brand new and sealed reissue.

I had a PM op reissue from toys r us back when I was like 11 or 12.....moved and all my AEC/Beastwars/G1 got left behind :-(

, I need one though, def have a soft spot for God Ginrai. Classics/3rd party takes all my munnies right now. I do have a vintage beat to crap Ginrai cab though!(trailer post broken in hitch :-(

)...might try to buy the missing vintage pieces from ebay.

Not into the comics, but this is great. (Thanks for the context, WJ88.)

Very nice.

Takara's Superion & Hasbro's Alpha are kind of tempting. But trying not to get carried away.

Bad idea. You'll get screwed twice over. God Ginrai have a LOT of parts. Most parts go for at least 20$+shipping. Better off spending 150$-300$ in one go to have a brand new one.

Anyway, good luck hunting!

Thanks! I think I said this earlier in the thread, but I usually just go for Hasbro releases (cheaper, more available, relatively speaking, this is the UK). Windblade is a very much sought after exception, due to the comics and my appreciation of the character design. The Hasbro version just didn't cut it for me.

But this face? Oh yes.

Generations Scourge is a great improvement over any other toy versions of the character. Excellent articulation, great paint, awesome wings, and a gun with three barrels! Also he can do the head thing *nerd sounds*. The shoulders are a little weird, but that doesn't bother me.

*more nerd sounds, on Twitter!*

When I discovered his weapon storage I was giddy like a schoolgirl.
