I misspoke. He's the KEYMASTER!!
In other news, it has been brought to my attention that there are some dope freaking MP figures coming. Therefore, I am faced with a dilemma. What stays, what goes.
You may say, "But Cram, you already have a sale thread, isn't everything on there that is going?" To which I say to thee "nay"!! There are things that I haven't listed that I'm holding on to for whatever reason. Maybe I thought I'd like them more eventually. Maybe FOMO > regrets. Regardless, I'm going to be taking an EXTRA hard look, as I need to generate funds for these new MPs!!
"But how will you decide?!"
Well my friends, therein lies the difficulty.
Let's take voyager Classics Jetfire as an example (brought up in convo on D-Max's thread yesterday). I took him off the sale list, and grabbed him out of the bin to potentially bring him in as a deskbot. At the same time, I had MP Prowl off the shelf whilst discussing things with Cobotron and carytheone. I then determined I like figures like MP Prowl much more than figures like Classics Jetfire. Same size-ish, but one I could never ever part ways with and one I've decided is not as much fun as another similar sized robot.
Yes, I know, mainline isn't the same as MP and can't be compared. What CAN be compared is the FUN I have with figures of similar size. Examples of figures similar sized to MP Prowl that aren't MP? TLK voyager Megatron, SS Thundercracker, TR Galvatron. All of those figures are most likely safe as I find them fun and worth holding on to, for me at least.
Maybe it comes down to posability = fun for me? That backpack in standard config on that Jetfire figure just throws his balance off terribly. Generations leader Jetfire does it better. Big time.
So, for me, that particular Jetfire is replaced on two fronts, fun factor compared to similar size bots, and a newer better version that happens to be larger.
Now, that may go the other way too! I had Human Alliance Bumblebee, and I have deluxe AoE Bumblebee. I preferred the deluxe for fun factor, so I sold the HA. I actually prefer that AoE deluxe even more than the rest of my available similar sized Bayverse Bumblebee's now that I've customized him, so odds are, they are all going.
Then it gets in to characters. I have a ton of Bumblebee's (well, not as many as I did have, thanks Ironhidensh). MP Bumblebee is the best version of G1 Bumblebee for me. AoE deluxe Bumblebee is my best Bayverse Bumblebee (until I get my hands on MPM I'm sure..). RiD is my best Aligned Bumblebee. So, errything else is superfluous!!
It kind of gets murky with Optimus Prime, Megatron/Galvatron, Starscream, Hot Rod/Rodimus. Other than Bumblebee, those are probably my favorite characters. Do I need multiple versions of them? In some cases no, which is where I'm taking the fine tooth comb and deciding who I reaaaaaaaaaally want to have around and who can go to another home that will appreciate them for what they are.
Then there's characters which I never had before from any line that I finally have and will probably also not part ways with. TR Brainstorm, Mindwipe, Weirdwolf, Chromedome, Skullcruncher, Fortress Maximus, etc. It's crazy stuff.
I guess I just needed to get my thought process written down for feedback. Anyone else go through this kind of stuff?!
thanks for sharing
