Well it has been a while since I updated and I'll start with a double whammy.

MP Shockwave version 2:

Fully articualted. Ball jointed head, fully ratched shoulders and swivel feet. This is going to a new home but I will be building an identical one to replace my version 1.

Once dry MP Reflector version 2 will go live

Are you thinking of replacing your iGear Thundercracker with the US Masterpiece release later this year?

By the way, your collection is excellent! Nice work on the recent Shockwave and Reflector(s).

Cheers dude, here is Reflector complete:

On the Hasbro TC....no way. I really don't like the MP11 design, the feet and head are downgrades IMO, plus the deco they have gone with is too busy. iGear's is far superior in every way for me

nice collection,

Cheers guys! Really appreciate it

I'm just putting the finishing touches to a MP Swoop commision and after seeing this pic have been having a serious think about a huge change in direction for my collection:

Swoop (and therefore MP Grimlock, MP Seekers, MP Shockwave, Devy etc) looks absolutely friggin' perfect next to classics Jazz......this has got me thinking about chopping in my customs for their classics alternatives as I'm definately going for MP10. iGear Ratchet/Ironhide would look even better and so would MP Sideswipe (as he should be bigger than Wheeljack etc to me).

Decisions decisions......

LamboTwinLove · 07-26-2012, 11:06 AM

Huh... that's an interesting idea. I would think about it long and hard because your current collection is AMAZING!

But if you go that route some of the classics figures are not that hard to find. I know a lot of members have classics figures for sale here and the prices tend to be pretty good.

TigerBlade · 07-26-2012, 11:22 AM

Well it wouldn't be a wholesale change.....just Wheeljack, Prowl, Bluestreak, Hound, Mirage and Jazz. The only sticking point is Jazz and Mirage customs....they aren't a simple rebuy if I think I've made a mistake and I don't want multiples of characters!

The positive side is instead of the separate factions being in scale with each other the whole collection (bar Megs) will pretty much be in scale with each other.

I hate being a scale freak.

Although I could always reshell Jazz.........

LamboTwinLove · 07-26-2012, 11:56 AM

I wouldn't do it.

I mean look at how perfectly awesome your Prowl, Hound and Blue and OMG ARE YOU NUTS!??

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I think your customs are 150% better the classics line. The classics ones to me would look... kinda cheap by comparison...

But that's just me.

TigerBlade · 07-26-2012, 12:16 PM

Your probably right, they'll probably look alot cheaper.....if only I could find a Nissan Fairlady 280zx at 1:32 scale then I'd be 99% there.

I might compromise, reshell classics Jazz first with a Porsche 935 and then see what he looks like.....if I don't like the size decrease as much as I think I might then I'm sure I'll find a buyer lol
