I am willing to bet the reason for Arcees delay is the hand change from closed to open.

Lol nah, I was just super excited. This toy I'd seriously my new favorite for all of 2014!

Cosmos is pretty sweet, but Swerve is my boy. I've got one for my shelf and one that rides around with me for photo ops.

Thanks for the heads up Cyber Bishop. I ended up stopping at Media Underground and got the last Arcee (open hands, but whatever). She's a great little toy, and even though I had to pay 20 bucks, it was worth it. Between gas money and wasting time driving to all the different Walmarts, Targets, and TrU's, 20 dollars isn't a bad deal. It's weird, I've been to Media Underground quite a few times with a friend of mine who's into comic books, but never noticed they sold Transformers. I've gotten Figuart Power Rangers and PAK figures from them, but never Transformers.

Oh well, I also stopped at a few Walmarts and Targets before I decided to just go to Media Underground.

Walmart in Gentilly didn't have anything new Transformers wise, but I did finally get TMNT Bebop and Rocksteady.

Walmart on Veterans had a bunch of Snarls and Hotshots, but that's it,.

Target in Kenner had nothing new.

I saw all four comic turtles a few times in Metairie and was tempted. But in the end I didn't get them because I don't think they look better than my NECA ones. Hopefully they make a Comic Shredder though.

Oddly enough it was original comic Raphael that eluded me the longest.

Speaking of comic stores. Does anyone know if Double Play in BR sells Transformer figures?

After my dental appointment I might have to swing by and have a look at them.

I've been there quite a few times and haven't seen any except maybe the odd Masterpiece figure. However, I do know that they sometimes buy pieces from customers and then resell them.

Cool, thanks. I haven't been there in years. Last thing I picked up there was that sweet Space Ghost figure, from way back.

I'm just to lazy to swing by.

From the images and videos, that warrior Grimlock may need a spot on my work desk. If you go, mind dropping the deets on how they look in person?

They all remind me of Transformers Animated. They are small for deluxes; but that's nothing new. Grimlock is solid and his dino mode hides most of his robot features. His transformation is simple but fun. All of their paint apps are simple as well. Only 2-3 different colors on each figure. I picked up Grimlock, Strongarm, and Bumblebee. I like Grimlock the best; although he's the only one that doesn't come with any weapons.

Mon Dec 15, 2014 2:11 pm

I haven't seen anything of interest from double play in months.

News Credits: 104 · Mon Dec 15, 2014 5:05 pm

The only one I picked up is strongarm. She is ok.. I'll stick to generations figs.

Good to hear Grimlock is a solid figure. He's the only one I was interested in, along with MAYBE Bumblebee. I'm still not sure if I want him because of the green color scheme. I just can't get with a Grimlock that isn't traditional G1 colors. Here's hoping for a G1 inspired repaint at some point.
