It's worth it. You can do so much with him!


My only complaint so far is that one of the two sword halves doesn't peg in properly into the gun barrel.

[robotmel]

Aah, the good Doctor strikes again!

Dr Wu - Vanguard - Seeker Null Rays

These lovely little beauties turned up the other week but I just havent had time to photo or unbox recently.

Looking sweet but the proof is in the pudding, so my MISB Thundercracker needs pulling from 'moving house' storage and unboxing, Starscream and Skywarp pulling from their display shelf and let the customizing commence!

More photos once I get to the storage box etc!

Yep, got another one, but this time it's not necessarily a KO but more like an off-brand. Maybe a KO of an off-brand? Anyhow, a trip to the Rotterdam Zoo of Blijdorp netted me these:

Wow, you actually found some flying dragon toys. I've wanted to get those for a long time. I did find this Happy QBot coloured dolphin KO recently though.

Well I'll be damned! Even the packaging matches from what I can tell. Thanks for the ID, Paul!

After a long wait I decided to make the jump and purchase MMC KM-05 Screecher. I gotta say I'm really impressed with the figure. Great detailing with the rivets and gears. And I'm pretty pleased with the paint apps too. Now to pick up the other two.

[robotmel]

So I went a little crazy and ordered some bits over the last couple of weeks, and this little fella arrived a few days ago.

SXS R-01 Continuosly Variable - Classics Gears!

Still gotta transform him!!





After seeing and reading more on the recent Masterpiece Tigertrack, I thought I would pick this up and customize him cos its a lazy one that even I can mess up!

WIP Classics Tigertrack!

I finally broke down when BBTS had this in stock:

I opened it up and spotted something odd:

And then:

Apparently it was packaged upside down. The figure itself was fine once I took it out of the package, but I couldn't help but wonder what led to this sort of packing mistake.

It's the cheaper version of the Shattered Glass variant, clearly.

I was thinking Australian edition?

KO classics Cliffjumper (to be repainted) with Beelzeboss kit, deluxe movie Bludgeon with Headrobots kit. Really happy with Bludgeon. Cliffjumper's plastic quality is near perfect.



Fansproject's Insecticons. I'll take pics of the other two one of these days. But I just love this one.



Perfec Effect's Reflector. Smaller than I thought but still great.



Perfect Effect's Motobot/Arcee. Nice robot mode, lots of weapons... but I'm really not happy with this figure. Too fragile, transformation process is so tedious, etc.



Mech Ideas Demolition Crüe. I absolutely love these guys. Perhaps my favorite 3rd party TFs so far. I don't think there's anything I don't like about them. Great quality/price.



Igear's Mini Warriors Hench/Brown. Nice, if only a bit too simple and pricy.



KO classics Punch/Counterpunch. I love this mold and I love the fact that it was used for this character... except for the ridiculously small head. This KO has some QC issues but I still like it.



One of my last acquisitions, Igear's Mini Warriors Veer/Swerve. I like it, but kibble often gets in the way of what could have been a better posability. Still, fits nicely with my other classics/generations/etc.



Generations Kup + Igear's new head and weapons. Dig the head, but the guns are so plain and blocky.



United Perceptor with sniper rifle (included the same set as Kup's guns).



KO Henkei Wildrider (Botcon/Ehobby exclusive or something). Quite happy with it.



Got it about 3 weeks ago (spanish retailer Iacon Toys was able to ship it quite early somehow). Kicks ass.





I still have to take some pics of City Commander and KFC's not-Magnificus

[Genocide G2.0]

Cool photos

Perfect Effect's Motobot/Arcee. Nice robot mode, lots of weapons... but I'm really not happy with this figure. Too fragile, transformation process is so tedious, etc.

I have that and here's a tip from me to you. Do you see that tripod piece you have on the gun? Take that off, set it to the side, and pretend it doesn't exist. I broke mine even after being careful.

Also, the hubs on her legs? The ones that lock her legs into place during transformation? Take an exacto knife and shorten them. There's much less chance of breaking her ankle stirrups (I don't know what else to call them) with those nubs shorted slightly. Again, I was careful and still broke that thanks to the amount of pressure needed to snap those legs into place.

I broke one of her ankle stirrups (nice word for them, BTW) so I sympathise. Motobot is a brittle nightmare, but is undeniably a beautiful figure.

Well, what mine got broken wasn't any of that. I moved her hands and one of them fell to the floor, the wrist had broken just 10 min after opening the box.

Anyway, we all know the whole thing is really fragile, yeah...

Ive been a bit naughty recently... very naughty!

Ive been seeing a 3rd party behind Hasbro/Takaras back.
I promised Has/Tak I wouldnt do it again, but I couldnt help myself.

Theyre just so sexy!



Thanks to the recent sale at Kapow Toys, I have managed to get my hands on Perfect Effect PE-12 AFX Assault Force X aka Classics Reflector, also the recent version of Fansproject Crossfire 02SP Explorer and Munitioner aka Classics Blast Off and Swindle!

Finally I can upgrade my Hasbro Bruticus so he can hang out with my upgraded Hasbro Superion! Phew!

[craggy]

got home yesterday to find a card from the postie telling me a package was at my local post office. and rushed right back out again, as I knew it was my latest TFSource order.

got TT Gen Ratbat (nice nice colours. not too obviously Scourge)
MP Prowl (keeping him for Christmas, unless I don't...)
Dr Wu Skybreaker Sword - blue (already have the silver, and the purple is still in my Stack. cool weapon, gorgeous colours)
and...

MMC HEXATRON!
Didn't even transform him for a few hours as he is so nice in robot mode. Have tried Wolf and APC modes now, and there are a few finicky bits, but the transformations are still awesome. Very glad I didn't let the price put me off.

got TT Gen Ratbat (nice nice colours. not too obviously Scourge)

I love that figure. I had been eager to get it since I got generations Scourge and saw that new head in the instructions. Got mine about 3 months ago from Robotkingdom. I've never had a tape-deck Soundwave so I'm not that interested in Ratbat turning into a cassette anyway...
