I didn't really want to make a post in the usual haul spot, but I wanted to share with my friends my new shinies.
First up hailing all the way from Japan; TF Prime Arms Micron War Breakdown. This is a figure I've been pining for a long time. I had some birfday funds laying around burning them holes and decided to splurge. This feller showed up at the house Monday, but life. So, I swung by the house to see the Mrs and my new play pretty on the way into the office. This is my first AM figure so expect more thoughts and pics of epic BD vs BH battles later.
Then these two fine young purple fellows showed up Tuesday at the office. That's why I didn't post on the haul page considering all the shipping delays I've been reading about, but I did want to rub it in a bit to those closest to me
. You probably already guessed it RID Warrior Fracture and CW Legends Shockwave.
I gots a little something to say after the pictorial break, but here is a little spoiler: DOPE and DOPE! Also, pardon my terrible office lighting, I was too excited to wait until I got home.
I don't care what Chuck says, the guys with the goofy hands can hold Shockwave just fine. You do have to get a little creative though.
And if you didn't see these next ones coming, then you really haven't been paying attention.
OK, both figures are awesome and have fun and intuitive transformations. Fracture is just plain cool and is going to boot that sad deployer wannabe version. His weapon is neato and can almost store on his back. It actually can, but it's very loose. Speaking of loose, the kickstand was off in package and doesn't really like staying in and his hands pop out real easy. Great figure, highly recommend if you're into RID or just dope ass motorslickle bots.
Shockwave... DOOD, SHOCKWAVE! He is an awesome
legends figure. A lot of his awesomeness comes from necessity. For example he has thigh swivels because of his transformation. Regardless I feel this figure could be upscaled with just a few added extras to deluxe or even voyager with no issues what so ever. Ok, the small nick picky negatives: his hands and pew pew are totally visible in gun mode and yes, his forearms and lower leges are painted clear plastic. That doesn't really bother me, but I remember reading a little hum bug about it on one of the threads.
So, if you are expecting these two figures in the near future, be prepare to be delighted. Hope you enjoyed the poorly lit pics.
