Gema, I think this orange background sets the figure off perfectly. Maybe there was something wrong with your lighting but that grey background seemed to take the clarity out of the figure. Different figures need different backgrounds. For example, black figure on black background = can't see a damned thing! I know you didn't use black, but some people do. It looks dramatic but makes it impossible to see the details.

I'd like to say I chose it, but I did not.

(But thanks.

agreed, but i like the mood though. plus, actually i tried the blackground since i had problem with white figures before. but he looked more menacing, didn't he?

'nother pic of my all-time favourite Transformer.

The most brilliant toy, it's like he just stepped out of the cartoon.

Cliffjumper seems a little too smug about riding a fellow Transformer.

I just noticed that the Legends class Classics Trypticon and Transformers Prime Twinstrike figures are just the right size to be in scale with my Monsterpocalypse figures. So here's a show down between Trypticon and Twinstrike against Defender-X and Sky Sentinel.

YAY MONPOC!

It's such a pity pretty much no one plays it anymore and a bigger pity PP doesn't make it anymore, that was a fun game.

Tried collecting some Monsterpocalypse stuff before. Of the 4 packs I ended up getting 3 where basically the same giant Triceratops-ish guy, so I didn't really feel like dropping anymore cash on them.
But the 4th was essentially Cthulhu, so it wasn't a total bust.

"Oooh, donuts and chicken legs!"
"This is undoubtedly a trap... besides they taste terrible together."
"Who cares, I'm hungry!"

"You wouldn't eat a living, talking taco, would you?"

Yeah, it was always better to buy up singles online, even more so than Heroclix and other collectible games.

A little fun with Sandstorm, who's got a little Captain in him.

Springer, meanwhile, decided to do a little Dino Riding.
