The Generation One Toys Appreciation Thread!

archieboy · 05-17-2012, 12:33 AM

I've just started watching Masterforce (just finished episode 9, the first appearance of Darkwing and Dreadwind, iirc). While definitely not the best anime series I've seen, even compared to shows aired around the time, it sure is a damn effective way to sell toys. I'm now very tempted to complete the show cast; all I have now are God Ginrai and Overlord.

Who has this set complete? Can I trouble you for a cast picture? I'm betting ^WingSaberX has this covered

I'd so enjoy being able to own that.

Also, brr-icy, congrats on Snapdragon! He has been one of the few TFs that have flat our cursed me to my face. It and Apeface are so totally cool, though

Yeah, I'm dreading the process of chasing down parts to the one I got coming. Only plus is that it's basically free.

Skids may have a serious threat in Tailgate for my favourite G1 TF. His and Swerve's headsculpts are just wonderful.

Also I think Encore Bumblebee may be the deffinative G1 Bumblebee toy. I'm very pleased I got the Encore Minibots. Pipes and Outback are also great, though my Pipes has lots of chrome flakes on him. (but bizzarely none of his chrome has flaked, it's not from him or any of the others)

I think I have the full cast except for Black Zarak, but they're all in storage so I can't help you. One day... I did season casts shots for BW, never thought to do it for the G1 stuff.
