Saw it and I guess maybe not completely alone.

But who doesn't like a little good head?

I made that same joke somewhere long ago. Maybe in the MP Ironhide thread.
You know I don't even know what OBEY is. I mean I know what it is but I don't know what it represents.
A clothing line? A grafitti movement? What is it?

News Credits: 131 · by **no-one** » Tue Jan 23, 2018 8:04 pm

I think OBEY is a hip clothing line (like BAPE), but I only associate it with They Live. Now that's a classic!

Ok. That sounds right. And you know, that image they use is an extrapolation of Andre the Giant.

Oh. And I really like your new Ironhide figures too!

Yeah, OBEY evolved to hipster clothing, but it did start with a street graffiti artist! I just don't remember his name.

EDIT!

Yes! But neither of those faces had anything on this face (right, Cary?!).

: M-m-m-money shot!

I remember the first time I saw The Right Stuff -- 7th grade for Earth/Space Science class. It's the only thing I remember from 7th grade, though....I wasn't collecting 'bots at the time. #-o

Holy cats, all the updates!! I do like your Ironwill, but I still love my dang MP Ironhide and Ratchet. I just hear all the awesome lines both of those fools said during the series when I play with them. Which is why I'm fine with only having those two as my only Ironhide and Ratchet. I guess I haven't found my favorite version of any other character which is why I have so many!! Except Sixshot. All hail G1 Sixshot!

The RiD Ratchet is my current Ratchet too. He's one of the few Ratchet toys that have actually looked good and been good. He goes nicely with Generations Drift

Bod you almost got officially banned from here for the crimes of New Kids on the Blocking. But because of the Max Headroom mention I'll let it slide... this time :-x

OH hai Ag, you are the ultimate lurker aren't you? Been here long? Tron is always welcomed ;)^

Is it just me or do video games still not look as cool as Tron?

But that's when it's the most fun. Your loss.

Sorry Cary! I won't bring the NKOTB back again. :saint:

They got nothing on the Knights of Unicron anyway. :DANCE:

But seriously, does anyone own this set? I'm tempted to hunt it down for the Fun Factor....but it ain't cheap.

For the first time in a long time I saw a cassette tape unspooled on the road, gave me some fuzzy feels. That's a great pic of SW ;)^

Knights of Unicorn, no. I used to want them, but they have no home in my room. It would be a crime for someone who has them and not to use Trypticon as a stage :DANCE:

Literally the only Sammy Hagar song I will allow [-(

Quick, someone do a Knights of UniCORN meme.....preferably with My Little Pony characters...

I wish I could blame autocorrect but that was pure Freudian slip. What can I say, I love unicorns, rainbows, sprinkles, holographic stickers and Lisa Frank.

So I went a searching for pony knights and all I could find was the new derpy looking ones. G1 ponies or bust. Anyway, will a DJ crossover work or at least get us started?

Sometimes I use the right half of that image as a cell wallpaper. ;)^

Holy backlog :lol:

That Ironhide is pretty awesome. When all these competing 3P MP's started popping up, I thought "jeeze guys, why?". But with all the different tastes in aesthetics, it seems like every figure has its own place which is pretty cool. And it is impossible to deny that 'Hide for that price!

And the OBEY thing I just assumed was from a cheesy 70's/80's movie about a totalitarian/robot future :lol:

With all the Gundam talk at the Den of D, I decided to knock out a simpler project from my back log. It's amazing I could pry myself from Breath of the Wild long enough though.

Gen Grievous is incredibly large and imposing with some odd interlinkage. The way he is built and linked up forces certain movements and poses that just look creepy and really match the unnerving presence that GG had in the flick.
