Haha, I just saw that. Congrats and congrats!

I'm excited to hear your final thoughts on Voltron. I'm on the slow road to forming Voltron but as of late the limbs have been hanging on pegs pretty regularly and the black lion has been in stock since the stores started carrying them.

Edit: howdy Bod, how's that kaluha and alt mode cocktail treatment ya

I guinessed myself to an early bedtime, but then got up at 130am to fire up the smoker. Brisket and ribs, brisket and ribs, I'm the boy with the brisket and ribs.

1am brisket & ribs! Any time is a good time for dat.

So a couple of hooligans showed up at work today to start trouble.


First we crack the shell...



Then we crack the nuts inside...





I'm a big fan of this Soundwave. He looks so serious and evil. TR Rumble was hanging with his surrogate boss. Normally the TAV Frumbles hang with WfC SW along with Universe Ravage. I really need a good scaled Laserbeak to chill with the group. Anyway, WfC SW is a cool toy with lots of posability. The joints are smooth and the plastic feels real nice.

do any of yall ever work around here

I got the Wei Jiang Reaver aka OS KO Toyworld's Shinebug aka Goldbug

It's a wonderful figure and I thought a little mini photo shoot was in call for.





A little size comparison.


He's a big mother fighting robot.

And of course I fired up some light piping.



Did I mention I got a Starscream?

Those bots all bee real cool.

But where bee the lion?
Show us your BIG CAT!

roar.

EDIT: I like the angle of that dangle. i.e. The set up of the table level to the backbots.

I really need some WfC in my life! I only recently got the games, after all, but TFs in Cybertronian alt modes? HELLZ YASSS

And dat group shot is da Bee's knees! Love it, Cary.

I gotta admit I got my very first incarnation of Starscream this past year (Leader class with Crown!) -- my friend then got me that Bearbrick so now my Starscream figures have doubled! That said, I should've had one sooner....but I didn't like how much of a disloyal coward he could be when I was 6.

Love 'im now though!

Howdy, it's late so I'm just going drop some pics and run to bed. We can talk later... k?

The deco on Leo













Is it weird that I really like Leo Prime's feet? They just look like such cool robo-kicks!







Funk the deco on Leo, this guy







This guy is a beast, both in mass and looks. Kind of a big feller too!



The head is hinged so he can chomp chomp









I am super impressed with both these figures. Just amazing decos and on opposite ends of the complexity spectrum. Soundwave is just dope teets. Who over uses thumbs up and is a happy camper? This guy

night

Nice! That Soundwave is pretty gorgeous

Care, you're stealin my thunder
I have that Soundwave too. I was not a fan of transforming him. And his legs are bizarre. Nice end result, but the trip was a pain

Oh, and what possesed you got get a big Shinegold?

He is super complex but in a really cool way. The first thing that struck me was just how heavy and dense he was in alt mold. On figures like that it's always getting started that's the hardest. Now that I know how it's supposed to happen it shouldn't be such a bad ride.

The silver paint is just amazing but the black parts of the body could uses a lick of color. I really dig how creepy and alien the bot mode is. He's a. It scary bot and I'm very pleased with him. Honestly Soundwave is kinda making me reconsider my view on the movie toys. It could also be that the HA figures are just nice.

shajaki wrote:Oh, and what possesed you got get a big Shinegold?

Really just a random hair. I kept seeing the bot pop up here and there then stalked it out on the interwebs. All the reviews I watched and read had nothing but good to say. I liked the way it looked and jumped after hemming and hawing for a month. I'm very happy with Goldie and I'm considering picking up a few more.

What the actual heck. How did I miss the updates?!

You know who said that line in the Movie? Rumble, who was blue.

Ah DotM Soundwave. Quite awesome!! Didn't realize he was on your radar.

And! I prefer Armada Starscream over Jihaxus. Although Jihaxus would be nice to have..

Dat's "move the best" to you sir

I prefer the Jihaxus mold, but the Starscream deco. The way the nose cone folds up makes a nicer looking bot. Dayum dat Tak deco though, amiright?

I wouldn't mind any of those guys either. They look awesome in vehicle mode and as good as they can in robot mode!! I do sort of regret selling Sideswipe. Once you figured out the transformation he was a really fun figure.

Ah Brawnie, I knew I've seen that head action somewhere. Don't they say something about imitation being the highest form of flattery?

Anyone want a nutso size comp?
