Actually I did, but was in a super huge hurry that day. I thought it was neat but was bummed to not see a Donny version. Do the figs come off them bases?

When they've made packs like that they've usually started with Leo or Raph, I would hope they finish out the set! I think they come off the bases, that'd be a deal breaker if they didn't.

I'm not sure if I really mixed toylines as a kid. Since I have 2 similarly-aged siblings and our parents tended to give us things to share, we'd often get a sizable chunk of a toyline. We all had Rugrats and had all the Rugrats, so we'd just play Rugrats.

Those are some great micro-match-ups man, especially Sunstorm X Acrocleve. I'm loving all the micromania tonight.

I used to display my Transformers with my Halo Mega Bloks collection, and even scrambled around parts of my different minifigures to make little partners for the different Cybertronians.

I can't take some new ones, but have some older ones to share.

Red walls are no more. Not only am I not living there any more, the new owner/tenant has repainted them cream white. [-(

I agree, those are awesome. Did you paint them to match or did it just really work out?

I know. That's why I said that. Oh the memories. Those red walls made such a nice backdrop for your photos.

Yes!! Where'd you get Rock and Blues?!

Also, the History of TMNT multipack can have the figures removed from the bases, after unscrewing them! And they left out the 2006 CG version as the molds had been destroyed?!

Great photos so far everyone!!

Kotobukiya model kits, and yes they are as awesome as they look. I'm thinking about nabbing Roll and if Zero ever hits a price point I like, he's mine!

I need that D-Arts Bass and Treble, and have no idea why I didn't pick up the D-Arts Megaman and Rush with Met!! Those Koto kits look awesome, and now that I know how big they are I should divert some fundage!!

I kick myself at least once a week for skipping all those various D-Arts MM stuffs. But guess what I got in my last PoL; Zero Type 2. Saving that sweet unboxing for a rainy day!

Thanks! None of those are painted, and as far as I recall, none are stock off the shelf - I just had a very large number of the older model Halo minifigs in different colors with different armor types, and I stripped them down to their base pieces (Head, torso, pelvis, upper arms, lower arms, upper legs, lower legs) and mixed and matched colors armor types to suit. I had a pretty good Zarak too, but I don't think I took any pictures of him.

They aren't quite in scale with each other, but I love how well they fit together nonetheless.

Everyone's just hangin' out, having a good time.

But then, Soundwave's cassettes get into the base!

This looks like a job for the Wreckers!

And as many dudes as we can fit on Metroplex as possible.

Fortunately, help is on the way!

Finally, on the return to the base, everyone stops for a heroic pose!

Unfortunately, he's in storage now, so all I can give you is a not-too-great closeup I took at the time.

Edit II: Most of my stuff is split up now, but Metroplex still hangs with the UNSC.
