"I found something odd in Wal-Mart today. They had a large display with Movie Prime and Megatron BubbleBath Soap.
The best part is on the back of the robot toppers are push buttons that activate a punching feature to help knock out filth.
For cheese sake I had to get them. They had Spider-Man too, but somehow he seemed less rediculious"

They weren't even $3.00 a piece, I'm leaving them on a shelf though as I bet that soap would give one a rash.

Punching action is quite good, and the arms can be swung around so they can uppercut, punch behind them etc.
The Bubblebath itself is plain and clear, and the bubbles last ages.

I don't care though, the more I look at Prime's punching feature, the more I think he's going for some of "Sam's Happy Time"

You mean these could get worse!
***and yes any katamari game can easily consume your soul. I would love to see the Prince show up in the TF movie game(looks good, but thats about it) though as I'm not enjoying it, and that little guy could spice it up nice***

I wouldn't mind some TF flash drives. The tech is cheap enough, hell they sell them next to the Tic-Tacs at Target. I would realy like it if stuff like that was worked into the RealGear line.
Maybe if I can get some figs cheap on clearance, I'll break out my exactos and some epoxy and see what I can come up with. I've been toying with the idea anyway.

Gah! Maybe the Soundwave Flash Drives aren't that bad of an idea... Let me see what you can do with it IF you finish it.

Sure, I was actualy looking at an extra slim phone that I have and the speed dial guy. It looks like I can work it into the top half that just hangs there. If I strip off the real phones casing and use just the guts. it might work.
And as to your capital "IF", yeah, I'll probably screw it up! Thats why I'm waiting for some cheap doubles

I love those too! I have those, the lolly heads, and an Energon Candy Cube.
It erks my though that my friend Mike has 4 differnt variants of the cube!
What I like about these though over the candy guys is that they don't have bars running from their chests to their fists. I think it would be great if they did a G1 version of these though.
Another cool thing I noticed on these is that the toppers are not attached to the bottle(they are on tight though, thats why I thought it was one unit) If they did a G1 version, that would be a very nice freature to me as I am of legal age and enjoy my drinks!
Prime goes on Jim Bean, Megs goes on Jack Daniels.
Why, Jim's your friend, and Jack makes you fight!

Trust me if these cost real money, the pics I posted would be of the on the store shelf. Stuff like this to me is like a B-Movie or an ugly puppy.
It's just so bad you gotta love it!
Also, Prime does look like he's getting ready to, uh...
...well this is a family site, so use your imagination.
I have a Disney Tarsan that does the same thing.

How pissed am I that they don't make those sheets in king sized. I just had a knee surgery, and outside of this trip to Wal-Mart, I'm layed up in bed right now(hence the million posts) and these beige prints just aren't doing it for me.
I demand, adult sized TF sheets!
And to those who worry about the reaction from the ladies when they come for the lovin', well I'm sure once they walk into my place and see all the other weird crap I have laying around, they wouldn't be suprized.
That is if they stay after seeing all the weird crap laying around!

That's why I'm getting a futon. Those take full sheets. I have a queen bed so I wouldn't be able to use them on there.

No Way!
I spent 6 years on a futon, now that I have a bed and couches, I'm not going back even for TFs.
However I do need a new door on my main display room, and I was thinking about just getting some of these sheets and hanging them.
But I'm also looking to get a dog, so knowing how much I love my collection. I think the door would be a better way to go.
What realy gets me is that Softimus ans SlumbleBee are so little. When I first saw them online I thought they where going to be pillow sized.
I did get them though for my brand new niece Bridget, and she loves them. She cries if you take them away.
Gotta get them while they're young!

Then again, I've turned down alot of cheap TF stuff myself. Hasbro realy needs to get off that repaint kick!

I gotta say thanks, outside of this trip to Wal-Mart, a quick knee surgery has had me bed ridden for a couple days. I've submitted many articles before to no avail, and am glad after my time registered here to finaly have one spotlighted.
I had a great time interacting with you all, and to those who ventured into the private message relm, well, alright, hope you enjoyed he pics, I know I did!
Maybe it was the slow news day, but I think it's great that some wayside junk made 3 pages of coments while more relavent topics barely broke 1!
Anyhow, have a good one everybody and thanks for helping me pass today with something far better than stairing at the walls.
For The Glory Of The Colony!
Till next time, Liege Evilmus

Not mentioned in the article is that the bubble baths are surprisingly well articulated- Prime bends at the elbow and Megatron bends at the elbow AND rotates at the bicep and wrist! Genius.

I may have to get a couple.
