Some random photos of my most recent acquisitions.

 

Digging Menasor. I might have to acquire one of those. Swerve and Cosmos look like they are dancing. Very cool.

 

Fair warning, know what you're getting in to if you get him. He gives complex transformation new definition. Lots of vulnerable tabs and joints also, easy to break him if you get careless.

I just ordered Generations Skywarp and Thundercracker. Absolutely love the FoC Starscream mold so I figured I may as well have myself a proper seeker set at last and the photos I've seen show they go incredibly well together.

Besides that I'm waiting for my preferred seller to list Maketoys new IDW Swerve and Gears, definitely getting them two as they look fantastic. Swerve even comes with his MFB gun, drink table and alternate blown off face head. Ultimate TF comic fanservice figure he is.

Then I need to order MMC's Rampage, the last of their Predacons I need to get. Their Razorclaw hopefully shipping in March.

Also bought TFC Toys Gumball (Streetwise) and Masterpiece G2 Sideswipe other week, hoping they both ship by months end.

 

Love the hooligan from G2 lol I can't wait to get mine back

 

Here's how my 86 collection is looking atm:

Autobots



Decepticons



Still in need of modern classics versions of:

Trypticon, Galvatron, Tankor, Unicron, SkyLynx, Hubcap, Outback, Pipes and Wheelie.

Figures I'll have in the not too distant future:

TFC HotSpot, FirstAid and Blades which will finish up my Defensor and Warbotrons Vortex n Onslaught which will finish up my Bruticus.

And theirs a few figures I'm in need of replacing since I'm not particularly fond of the ones I currently have anymore, those being Genertations Metroplex who I'll soon replace with Maketoys Utopia. And I'm really hoping ToyWorld gets their UltraMagnus out next year since I really need a new one to replace the craptacular TMazing Mebsuta I have. And while hasbros gen Tailgate isn't the worst figure in the world after seeing Maketoys amazing looking Rearend (pretty funny name they picked for him) he's certainly going to replace him just as their Trashtalk replaced my gen Swerve.

I've also realized that if Arcee actually had a figure back then it would probably have come out in 86 too so its a good thing I have mmc's Azalea on the way.

Besides all that lets see I've got Felisaber on the way, MMC's redeco of their Rampage figure that has been made to look like Pretender Catilla. He's even now coming with a helmet for his cat head to mimmick the armored look of the original pretender shell figure. Theirs a bunch of stuff I still intend to order this year. I'm about to get in on the third party dinobot madness currently going on and I've decided to collect both Planet X's FoC figures and ToyWorlds classics figures which are extra cool as they can combine.

Still need to order MP Magnus and Starsaber, the two coolest looking mp's I've ever seen and I'm usually not an mp collector. Still wanna pick up KFC's Haiku (Captain Shark redeco'd as Skybyte) and I think Maketoys might get their Nemesis version of their latest battle tanker out in December but who knows, god does he look awesome.

Otherwise holy crap is their so much amazing stuff coming out next year. Highlights will likely be Maketoys insane looking Scorponok who's going to scale nicely with their Metroplex followed by MMC's DJD figures of which the first out will be Vos followed by Kaon and then hopefully Tarn, Tesarus and Helix. They also have a Lockdown, Strika, Roadbuster, Solus and Elita coming out I'm really hyped for. Hoping they get their Overlord out next year too.

And since Defensor is my favorite autobot combiner and Maketoys stuff is amazing I'll be getting their Guardia next year who easily looks like he'll be the best combiner ever made. And since I already have their shattered glass deco version of their Strafe figure I'll probably end up getting the remaining four if they end up doing them too since Quantron is amazing.

Overall I'm kinda glad that their seems like their should be a lot less things out next year I actually want compared to this year and 2013. It'll be nice to finally have money for other things again.  

 

Nice collection! I have to say, it's really cool to see fans get in to Transformers that got in to the brand when it wasn't as popular. If you were born in 86, the brand was in it's decline by the time you were 5. So to find the original Transformers cartoon, and be a fan of the 86 line, I think is awesome!

 

Good stuff

 

Very nice and most impressive!  

 

Pretty much, I was an early 90s kid so the g1 show was in re-run, the g1 line was pretty much dead almost, I missed the films release and didn't know it existed until like the mid 90s when I found it on vhs haha and most of the transformer toys I actually "grew up on" and owned were the various weird incarnations of g2 and beast wars.

The handful of g1s I had like optimus I had no idea how rare they were at the time and ironically he's literally the only figure I have left from that point in my life and boy has he seen better days.

So on the one hand I have much more personal nostalgia for g2 and beast wars but on the other almost none of those characters have had new figures since those original lines so in recent years I began to slowly become more of a g1 fan and realized all my favorite g1 characters from the show happened to have toys that came out in my birth year, which is really freaking weird so I decided to make it weirder and make it a goal to get them all haha.

If I was really crazy I'd try to get the g1 originals too to have them side by side but geezus that'd be an investment I simply can't fathom affording at this point in time.
