I would...but I don't have fancy lights. The closest thing I have is a cheap flashlight.

Mess around with it, phone cameras can be quite fun once you've found your groove.

(I only use my cameraphone for toy photography. Can be frustrating at times, but usually fairly pleased with the result. Example below of indoors lighting!)

Impressive...I'll have to give it a shot soon. Hopefully once Rioter Despotron shows up I'll do a battle scene.

That Striker Manus is a pretty dang awesome looking figure!

It really is. High quality, fairly fun transformation, SUPER pose-able...like I said, can't wait to get the Megatron to go with it and do some battle scenes.

...my only real complaint is that MakeToys are releasing a Nemesis Prime version (Striker Noir) that comes with an additional 'Giant Weapons Pack'. I really hope they sell it separately later on...

Rioter looks awesome too. The reviews of both figures have been glowing!

I'm fairly certain you'd be able to contact them for that weapon pack after he's released. Most of those companies seem to do fairly well in regards to customer service. For example, all of those "fix parts" that come with subsequent FansToys releases are available if you contact them direct.

Fair enough.

...oh, right, forgot to update Rewind's Adventures! I should probably go do that now.

those fix parts are also common with another company too
i hate it when they release parts for another fig with a new figure
now i have to get andras to get better ball joints for apollyon. supposedly the best ones. then that will make me want to get eligos and abbadon/soverign.

i love those pics. really makes me want him.

yes go update i love it. looks good so far

I've been enjoying this thread for awhile now and the Manus shots are great. I think I'm going to order my Rioter tonight since TFsource got their restock. I can't decide between Manus and Noir and I don't like it. I feel like getting both is the only option at this point.

Glad you like the thread! Honestly...get Manus first. Then Noir, only if you want the weapons REALLY badly.

Either that or the newer MP version. I'd rather have the MP.

I kind of want to get noir since I don't have a nemesis prime.
Sorry about double posting

*unnecessary bump*

Big disjointed post!

First off, Nightbeat!



I've been having fun messing with him and Blurr. If I ever get the Takara version, this'll become a generic named 'Bluesteel'. Still need to figure out how to properly integrate the drill tank into the alt-mode, though...

Next, Rewind and Domey. Because



I enjoy these two way too much.

Also, finally got proper better lighting in my room! So, hopefully more pictures! Here's a TWINFERNO



Lastly for now, team Sky Reign!



Despite being mostly redecos, these guys are super fun. They're my only full, official CW team, so I'm happy I finally got Sky Lynx.

Not a big post, but it has a big thing! (Can you find all the secret details in the image? Some are more obvious than others.)

So...

-There is a Primus in the background
-a 3P Sword
-a 3P blaster
-TR Hot Rods(?) gun on the left forearm
-some wolves in the background
-a BBTS Box

anything else?

Pretty much. As for Primus, I dunno why I put him there. The 3P weapons are both from Perfect Effect, and improve the figure immensely. That is Hot Rod's gun, the other is on the other arm. Fort Max basically got all the guns I don't really use, but you can't see the rest. The wolves are all my father's, he's really into wolves for whatever reason. And, as for the box...



Soon...

There's a masterpiece in that box

So..? So? SO?

Today, the box will be opened. Tomorrow, the contents hinted at. The day after, revelation, and the day yet after, pictures.

Okay, okay. I'll tease it tonight.

Why. Why.

I bet there's a Rioter Despotron in the box.
Edit: well I'm glad you've lessened the wait.

I'll be honest, I don't know what's in the box, it's a gift for my birthday today. Pretty sure I know what's in there, though.
