Yeah, Magnum leans as much too far forward as ol' uncle megatron leans too far back.

They're pretty silly together, really.

 

haha, magnums like 'cmere buddy dont be shy' and megs is like 'shit dude get away from me', ha ha ha

 

yeah, I'm glad I didn't pay the $600 that he usually bin's for on ebay. even after I got him I was like, "I paid that much for THAT?" oh well. he's still pretty neat.

 

Browning should´ve been Megatron at first place

 

Nice gun-bot collection. How about a group shot?

 

yeah, I was thinking about that, OK, I'll do one soon.

 

I've been thinking about it, and now, man, I really want a Magnum. I want one to pose standing way too close to Megatron.

Yes, I am prepared to pay that much money just because I think it's funny.

 

It irks me when people post collection pics and don't give a name to all the toys pictured. Have a heart for those of us fans who don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of TFs and can't ID every TF at first sight.

With that said, what's the name of the brown and black Magnum shown in the first pic? That's one I'd like to add to my wanted list.

 

Magnum

 

yikes. all you gotta do is just ask, yeesh.

 

Really? Wow, they really put a lot of thought into that one.

Hmm... tfu.info doesn't have a listing for it. Did it have another Japanese name?

"Magnum" is too general for a google search (and "magnum transformer" is right out too, thanks to it being a manufacturer).

What's the history on it: series, year of release, etc?

 

its a pre-tf. try googling microchange magnum.

 

microchange. pre-TFs, think 70s.

 

tag, you're it!

 

Oh crap. That means it probably costs a sh*tload of money. Yipee. Another likely unobtainable "holy grail" to add to my list.

By chance has it been reissued?

 

you know, it's kinda funny because I HAD mentioned everything about the toys names in my original thread. they were just so obvious you didn't notice   anyway, nope, hasn't been reissued and probably wouldn't be since it was never released as part of the transformers line. but it HAS been bootlegged. I'm pretty sure wheeljaxx has a bootleg. since you kinda asked, mine was mib (opened, however) and I paid $300 for it. misb ones are usually $400-$600.

KA--you photoshopped my pic! sweet! I still have no idea how to do even something as simple as you did. oh well.

 

You beat me to it. Jerk.

 

Nope, won't help. His hip joint ( the one you had circled ) is nice and tight. It's the ankle ball and socket joints that are too loose.

 

nail polish time! Or the super glue method (which I use because I don't have any nail polish... need to go buy some)
