    The worst to me is probably Ravage, steeljaw, ramhorn, and slugfest. While I like these figures, they are also very much one "sided" figures that have no ability to stand, since they are so flat. While I don't care at all one way or another about articulation, I do care if a figure can stand. Although, I am sure there are people how have gotten them to stand. But I have never been able to get mine to stand. lol

    But I still like the figures. Great figures. Ratbat can at least stand.

    I particularly love the magic head and chestplate!

    I really love the Double Targetmasters. They do feel so overlooked.

    I love going into the "reusable" buildings at 3 local dumps every now and then. Found this lot yesterday in just one of them.

    From these pieces was nearly able to complete these figures (Motormaster still needs his weapons and Menasor's right hand, Jetfire still needs his gun clip)

    completed G1.JPG

    Now to start hunting down some G1 Seekers :D

    Finally got a piece that I've been lusting over for a couple of years: a Takara Microchange MC-13 Walther P38 U.N.C.L.E. set, a.k.a. Megatron! This one is unused and includes all the original paperwork (stickersheet, instructions, catalog, targets and name card), two sprues with all bullets still on them, and even the transparent plastic sheet that goes over the foam.
    I already own a TFC #6 Megatron, which is approximately the same figure, but I always loved the look and layout of the U.N.C.L.E. set.

    Dammit Barry, I was going hold off on TR Quake since I wasn't all that impressed with Hardhead, but I love the G1 figure so much and I think that pic seals the deal. Thanks a lot. :p 
    Now if I could only actually find one.

    Eeeeek! Landfill's naked!
    But srsly, Landfill is one toy I always liked to take off the shelf and fiddle with. He's just fun to transform.

    Anyone have any advice on how to keep my G1 seekers heads and torso from flopping backwards in robot mode? Is there a way to strengthen the friction without using glue or something similar?

    That looks amazing. I wish mine looked like that. Mine has started to slightly yellow a bit, def discolored and not as crisp as yours.

    if you take them apart, push the pin out and squeeze the shoulders together, then reassemble him. should work great. I did it to my main three seekers a few years ago, with no reverting to looseness.
