I used a 5 ml coupler from an old Robolinks (i.e. Takara Block Man)set.

A tad off topic, but I'm curious too. is that a modern Dan Cougar?

S.H. Figuarts Cure Black from Pretty Cure.

And I believe that's Revoltech Dancouga.

Ahahaha, I've been found out! And just for the sake of completion, the edgy girl is Figma Ryuko from Kill la Kill.

Glad to see everybody enjoyed my picture!

Join the dark side, Cobotron! We have cool color schemes.

'ave an Abominus:




From Figure King #241.

I'll take it!

I was unsuccessful today in my hunt, though the symths near me did have two Dinobots and both wave 1 voyagers, that was it. I may of nabbed grimlock but it was on a higher shelf than I could reach and I was a bit short on money so I unfortunately had to pass. Did we solve why swoops box shows red chest while the toy itself is blue?

Predaking as a Titan Class toy will be released as a box set in all markets. But I wonder how difficult it would be....to create a customized mock UW box for Volcanicus & Abominus?? I know that 3rd party accessories are very popular, 3rd party packaging would be something appealing to me in this case.

Abominus looks fantastic, as do the rest of the individual Terrorcons! Can't wait to catch 'em all.

I had forgotten that G1 Hun-gurrr had a base mode, so I did one up for Power of the Primes.

Apparently the story goes that Hasbro tried play testing both decos, with the kids liking the blue more. Which is good, since the red is toy-accurate while the head is based on the cartoon. Furthermore, the alternate head of Swoop is the toy-accurate design with the visor, as shown by Pete's Robocon Custom SG Swoop:



Release that in red and we're golden.

Thanks jelze I regret not picking him up but looking at my current budget, I won't be able to get him for a Lil while yet. Other things come first

Better get him fast if you're getting Dinobots, he's not set for repacking AFAWK, only Slug/Slag is.

I do wish we get that red Swoop/Strafe with that visor head, I need an extra Hand Armor One of mine has a thumb with a raised marred area from the sprue, so it's scraping plastic off the hand whenever I want to move it.

Now you tell me -_-

No recent sightings of wave2 deluxes -- hoping they appear in numbers and at other retailers soon.

Would like to see Submarauder too, but unsure where Alchemist Prime fits in my head-canon....unlike Liege Maximo.

i just found Sludge, Snarl, and Rippersnapper two days ago.
Edit; the sightings are still on the bottom home page.

A few random thoughts and photos of PotP so far.

I was really hoping that Dreadwind and Blackwing could form a great mutant double forearm, double elbow combiner limb, but really it is just a mess. I'll have to try again with Dreadwind collapsed and see if that is any better.



For anyone with either Rodimus, what do you think of the space winnebago alt mode? I personally love it, even with the visible hands from the front. But I do have to say, the side profile always makes me think this is what the child of a garbage truck and an El Camino would look like. I think that makes me like it even more.

Hah, I should've clarified -- none in Oregon in the last two weeks, besides the few days they were at my Walmart. I wanna see them readily available in Target in OR.

Sorry can't help you there. Good luck

In response to your query Kev, I love the space Winnebago myself, only have Roddy U., so it's more the Winnebago of doom, but it is fun! Never really thought trash collector till you said something though.
Though his Hot Rod mode is nice, personally I am loving the super beefy Prime mode. Funny enough, I hadn't stood him next to his brother from another universe until just now. He towers over TR Galvatron, so once I get the proper Autobot version I already know just how huge he'll be with Galvy. Thankfully scale with the toys isn't something I fret over, as long as I have fun I'm happy with them.

LOL I wasn't asking for much! ;p

Still having fun with Elita-Pr1me....

You take that back!

I'm too lazy and too short on time at the moment of posting to take another pic so here's this one again


I forgot to mention this the last time but the original inspiration of getting Rodimus in that pose was a post a few weeks ago complaining about his poor poseability. So suck on it, whoever said that. I think it was WJ88.

While I'm more than glad my local TRU had a full wall of PotP stuff (and two Chaos on Velocitron boxes from TR, no less!), it was mostly full walls of Voyagers. So judging by how well that went last time with shelf-warming Galvatrons, these Grimlock and Starscreams will be there for a damn long time.

Possibly these Leader Class figures too.
