Remember when we were just little tykes and all of our toys would just hang out together and we didn't have such strict shelving rules? Well this week's challenge is going to give us the opportunity to mix and match our toys again.
There are only two rules to this challenge; the picture(s) must feature a Transformer and must feature any other toy. That's right, I didn't say just action figures (they are of course welcomed). Let your imagination run wild! Any scenes or styles are welcomed.
Because the holidays are approaching and because this is a fairly open ended challenge; we are going to run this one for two weeks to give everyone plenty of time to participate. TFPC#8 will run from 11/15/15 to 11/29/15. Let's take our time and post some really fun stuff.
Submission post use TFPC #8 in the subject line. Non submitters, please feel free to join the conversation. Multiple submissions are welcomed and encouraged!
And remember to keep your browsers pointed to Seibertron.com for the latest Transformer news, the largest galleries and the most fun you can have this side of a space bridge.

Nope. Even as a kid I kept my toylines seperate. The MotU stuff on one shelf, ThunderCats on another, Transformers had several to themselves.
Aw damn someone already did TMNT/TFs though to be fair mine was gonna be the recent movie versions of both franchises so I can still do it I guess. Or maybe I'll try something a bit different. I'm a bit of a stickler for scale though and not many of my figures are in scale with others.

Slightly off-topic: has anyone seen the "History of TMNT featuring Leonardo" multipack at ToysRUs?! It looks amazing, and took a lot of effort NOT to buy it!! It's on my list to buy at some point

Actually I did, but was in a super huge hurry that day. I thought it was neat but was bummed to not see a Donny version. Do the figs come off them bases?itscramtastic wrote:Slightly off-topic: has anyone seen the "History of TMNT featuring Leonardo" multipack at ToysRUs?!

When they've made packs like that they've usually started with Leo or Raph, I would hope they finish out the set! I think they come off the bases, that'd be a deal breaker if they didn't.carytheone wrote:Actually I did, but was in a super huge hurry that day.

I'm not sure if I really mixed toylines as a kid. Since I have 2 similarly-aged siblings and our parents tended to give us things to share, we'd often get a sizable chunk of a toyline. We all had Rugrats and had all the Rugrats, so we'd just play Rugrats.

Red walls are no more. Not only am I not living there any more, the new owner/tenant has repainted them cream white.

Yes!! Where'd you get Rock and Blues?!carytheone wrote:Brothers at play
Also, the History of TMNT multipack can have the figures removed from the bases, after unscrewing them! And they left out the 2006 CG version as the molds had been destroyed?!
Great photos so far everyone!!

I kick myself at least once a week for skipping all those various D-Arts MM stuffs. But guess what I got in my last PoL; Zero Type 2.

Thanks! None of those are painted, and as far as I recall, none are stock off the shelf - I just had a very large number of the older model Halo minifigs in different colors with different armor types, and I stripped them down to their base pieces (Head, torso, pelvis, upper arms, lower arms, upper legs, lower legs) and mixed and matched colors armor types to suit. I had a pretty good Zarak too, but I don't think I took any pictures of him.

Everyone's just hangin' out, having a good time.
Riding around in conspicously small hovercraft.
But then, Soundwave's cassettes get into the base!
They're stealing tactical data for the Covenant!
This looks like a job for the Wreckers!
And as many dudes as we can fit on Metroplex as possible.
The Wreckers lead the way - right into Shockwave's ambush!
Fortunately, help is on the way!
And they're into the Fray!
Finally, on the return to the base, everyone stops for a heroic pose!

Unfortunately, he's in storage now, so all I can give you is a not-too-great closeup I took at the time.
Edit: Forgot to show Metroplex busting out his robot mode on the Covenant:
Edit II: Most of my stuff is split up now, but Metroplex still hangs with the UNSC.

Mostly to give people more time post, especially with the holidays coming up. Also just testing the waters, it was starting to feel like a lot of pressure to get a post up in a week time limit. I went with a week and a half on the last one and there seemed to be a lot more breathing room.Autobot Genocide wrote:carytheone wrote:Yup, runs 'til 11/29Autobot Genocide wrote: IS THIS CROSS OVER CHALLENGE STILL ON ?

Anyone else have any thoughts on the time limit? Is a week too short, is two weeks two long?

And now I also wish I'd bought Cy-Kil when I had the chance.
It occurred to me I should plug the work of a friend of mine - if you're really enjoying the mash-up photography, and want to continue seeing more after the contest ends, be sure to look for stuff by Symon Six.
