Now I know we discussed acrylic risers at length, but those look like Shay-Jay style collector card cases. Just how far north is this " 'nother Mother"?

And... Is that a Figma stand?

Because I just discovered...

... Figma stands work for TFs too! ;)^

Also, what's that Death Star, and does it light up?!

@Cobo - way north, eh. And yes those are baseball card boxes.

Obitsu body stand - got a steal from Amazon with the card holders as an add on and a 5 pack of the stands for 25$.

And yes figma does work if the TF has the correct peg hole. Most now have either a 3 or 5 mm or like Scourge, he has both where gen Arcee only has a 3mm. The Obitsu stands has 5mm pegs, 3 mm pegs, three different sized claws, three different sized arms and an extra clip to use two claws at once. They are the dope ****!

That is the perplexus death star. On clearance for 9$ down from 40$. It does light up and if you're not familiar it's one of those ball mazes. It's a real mind bender too.

I can't wait to get some sweet poses with them flight stands. ;)^

Well let me really open the enabler flood gates.

These are great. It has so many pieces and you can actually use all three arms at once. The only thing I don't like is the arms are a little thin and may not hold a voyager class figure will. Scourge was a little wobbly but the joints are screw tight. Figma stands are a little thicker.

I'll test a voyager and see if one will do. I'm still hunting for a reasonably priced stand to hold Superion :michaelbay:

Maybe a larger gundam base :-?

And them card holders.

I'm a little mixed on these. I didn't know at the time the inside part had a lip to form an airtight seal. All the means is that it won't sit on its side level. That may not be a problem and the one I'm currently using is bottom side up, so no problems.

Clicky the pics to be taken to the listings.

I used clear legos to prop up Wheeljack in my monster mash photo. I sure could have used flight stands then. (I was also thinking fishing line but Grandpa has my tackle box)

Petrified forest?! Looks like a bunch of dirt and rocks with some trees around :oops:

That's no Perplexus Puzzle Ball.....that's a spacestation!! I have one of those too, got it last year for my birthday!! When we were staying with my brother he had one of the regular Perplexus puzzle balls and I thought it was cool. We hit up the local TRU down there and they had the Death Star one to which he said "you can't buy that" :lol:

3 weeks later, birthday gift from my brother ;)^

AND THEN!!

One of my buddies got the regular Perplexus puzzle ball for his birthday earlier this year and somehow never noticed my Death Star one before. He was super excited about his, then I said "where have you been I've had this for 6 months". He says he punted his into the river :lol:

In other news!!

Figma stands and card holders as risers. I need to do that with the MP seekers!!

Errything looks great Cary. As per usual. :DANCE:

Fantastic exposition Cary, congratulations :APPLAUSE:

News Credits: 131 · Tue Oct 11, 2016 8:20 am

Those perplexus balls are equal parts intriguing, fun and frustrating. I have another one but the death star takes the cake.

Glad you enjoyed, thanks guise ;)^

"Rumble Frenzy. Ravage Ratbat. Eject. Operation: interference."

How much fun are those lil guys?! I'm very tempted to jump. All the way in. Knees deep. :lol:

Gotcha

How much fun are those lil guys?! I'm very tempted to jump. All the way in. Knees deep.

Well the cat mold is kinda ass. Transformation is fun, table mode is cool, plane mode seems superfluous and kitty mode looks good from only one angle. Articulation is aight, but limiting. I'll be able to do what I need, but I'm glad I only paid $5 for him.

Bird is the word mold is perfectly fine and fun. Transformation is a bit cumbersome, but works. I'm ok with but confused about he forklift/pallet jack mode. Jet bird mold is where the show is; a very fun and good update. Head articulation is nice and its fun to move the jet boosters and winds around to achieve different looks.

Laserbeak and Ravage were some of my favorite toys as a kid, well the cassettebots in general. As you know I have a few variations and the MP line fills the nostalgia bucket perfectly ;)^

Rumble - The mold fits him better than Rewind, but I'm really happy to have a Rewind for my LL shelf. Transformation is intuitive and works well. Tank mode is a thing, unnecessary but works fine. I feel that they could have dropped the triple changer aspect and focused on the two primary modes more :-?

Bot mode poseability is pretty much exactly what you expect from a legends class and works great. I mean they can break dance

For Rumble the silly thick arms work because they become his pile drivers. If I could improve anything it would be having two guns that peg into his back and that they were a little thicker.

One of the best things about the "tablet bots" is their tablet mode. They really shine here. They look the part and the stickers (those pore misaligned stickers) have all sorts of fun and relevant to the character information on them. They are fun to hand to other bots to use or goof around with, hell they even have real life sized headphone jacks :shock:

Red lasers, blue lasers ;)^

TL:DR, buy red Rumble and hope for a blue Rumble.

Holy SNAPDRAGONS!!! I just took a good look at them tablet-to-cassette bot stickers :shock:

the FIBRIR stickers are hilarious :lol:

Brought these two miscreants to work to play with the poseablity options on old Rumble dem bones. Mini Trypticon (Typtiminicon?) was just a bonus because he is such a fun and awesome figure and I wanted a TM to play with.

Rewind and Rumble swapped guns. I felt they needed a little color break. I like it ;)^
