    My MP Megatron is pretty loose so it took a lot of wiggling to get it to stay that way. However if somebody touches it he's sure to crumple over. Despite the design flaws, he's still one of my favorite MP figures.

    Thanks for all the compliments guys!

    I'm waiting for my iGear MP Thrust, Dirge, and Ramjet to come in to complete my MP seeker set.

    I also have 2 RTS Wreck-Gars, 2 United Wreck-Gars, and a Scrapheap that I'll display after I get MJ's custom add-ons.

    Love your display Clintfca. Each of the units stands out with their pose and it's not overwhelming. Yeah, sometimes less is better.

    haha, no problem. If there was a job of just coming up with poses for action figures/models all day that would be one of my dream jobs ;)

    Nice stuff!

    I might steal some of your display ideas... particularly the MPs set up in front of the reissue boxes. I like that a lot.

    I just picked up the following from RK.com in Hong Kong today. I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for these. I'll take new shots with the rest of my collection when I bring them back to Canada in December:

    The colors on all three are more stunning in person than previous online video reviews of the samples. I was hesitant about Dirge's blue being too bright in the reviews but it's actually quite muted and very close to the G1 color in my opinion. The other two just speaks for themselves.

    I don't suppose you have mint condition boxed coneheads to go behind those Masterpeices? (just going on the style I saw in your first pics)

    I actually have been purchasing original G1 1980's seekers and coneheads MISB C8+ in the last month or so. I'm only missing a starscream and dirge, been scouring ebay every day but so far none fit my criteria.

    decided to take Fortress Maximus out of storage ... just need to figure out how to display him in one of the two cabinets.
