And I am not ashamed to say that my first thought was, "Oh my God, I need this in my life!" It can hang out with my Disney Label Convoy and they can play a nice game of cat and mouse.

'Nuff said.

Evanglelion units one, zero, and two. Though you've probably seen more pics of unit zero in blue than orange, since it gets a new paint job early in the series.william-james88 wrote:Who are those last 3? I remember Va'al's avatar looked like the first purple garbage truck figure.

Her purpose: to siphon knee-jerk fan-rage away from Bronies."
...that's all I got. Had Joe on the brain for a week since a leak in my basement ruined several MISB sets from about 8 years back, including that Target set with the MOBAT and red HISS tank. It claimed my sealed Nightmare Moon gift set too. A mere fraction of Seib's pain from that flood, since most of my TF stuff dodged the bullet, but a sliver I share.
Back on topic, does anyone else think the shape of the lil' seekers' cockpits makes them look like they come with egg-laying action for a belated Easter assault?

Also hilarious that it shares its mold with the EVA Units, considering how the two are virtually polar opposites (uber kid-friendly vs. uber NOT kid-friendly).

1. Hello Convoy: awesome in a twisted sort of way
2. The Crimson Hiss from that set kicks a whole lot of ass
3. I thought the seekers reminded me more of those old super deformed macross planes, but now I can't un-see the eggs

If I had a Mickeymus, I'd probably be tempted to do the same thing, but getting one now seems like it'd be... Impractical. Though unless Hello Kitty is bigger than or the same size as Mickey, this could wind up ridiculously-scaled anyhow. Like, you know, most things involving multiple Transformers toys.

Well, here is how big Mickey is compared to a standard height DVD case:
And grabbing the measuring tape, he comes up to about 4¾" in height. So if this is true:

...then I guess Mickey will indeed tower over Kitty. But I am okay with this. They will still be the best of friends in my collection. And on hot days, they can even hang out with my popsicle mascot transforming vaguely Optimus-ish guy, for extra corporate mascot fun.
Man, add Pepsi Convoy into the mix... and too bad I never got Sports Label Convoy. I could have a whole bunch of fun with Mascot Primes! (What is Sports Label Convoy going for these days... Checking eBay... And... Yeah, never mind that...)

Well, up until recently, Takara's toys had always had one character name on their packaging. Now, some of them have two names on them.Seibertron wrote:Sabrblade wrote:More cases of Takara names in Katakana with Hasbro names in Latin script.

Take that new good guy truck QT-19 toy seen above, for instance. The Katakana says he's named "Convoy", but the Latin script says he's named "Optimus Prime". Whereas the Katakana and Latin script for the other guy, QT-20, both call him "Megatron", thereby avoiding such confusion. One toy has two consistent names, while the other has two different names.

But Convoy is Optimus Prime and vice versa. Megatron has always been called Megatron by both Hasbro and Takara. I think what you're really seeing here is how Takara's products are enjoying a life outside of Japan (and thus are being marketed as that thanks to the Internet) so they are putting the Hasbro (or English) names on the products as well as the name from their local market. I wish they would just drop Cybertrons, Destrons, Convoy, etc, but this is a good alternative to that as well (though it continues to fuel these characters having two names which I feel is really bad for marketing purposes).
