    yknow, vangelus is pretty much what pulled me into the fandom

    strangely, it's refreshing not having him this week :)

    While I do like Vangelus being the host, I've really enjoyed the three episodes without him. Seth and Gogdog do seem to have a nice cadence together.

    I really want those Beast Saga figures, Seth's twitter pics of them really cemented that for me. With moving and holiday expenses coming up I'm sadly holding off but Jeebus this brought that whole thing back for me - especially with there being a gorilla in an upcoming wave.

    Another possible combiner team is the Chinese/Japanese four gods: Seiryu the Azure Dragon, Suzaku the Vermillion Bird, Byakko the White Tiger, and Genbu the Black Tortoise. Huanglong could either be a fifth member or an alternate combined mode.

    Also, a motorcycle combiner. Specifically, a third party version of the infamous ROTF Arcee/Chromia/Elita One team. Just take out the movie aesthetics and add, say, AN ACTUAL COMBINATION.

    Gog, I'm surprised to hear that you like lunatic over shinkenred-
    well, I mean not character-wise, but even though shinkenred has weird biceps, I think he's a more entertaining figure than lunatic. Lunatics feet make him really hard to pose and I think are over-engineered. His cloak is kinda garbage too- being of hard plastic when it could have been softer and just slip over. I put it on once and stopped.

    Not to say lunatic is a bad figure, but he's not top tier either. If you like T+B, go for sky high if you haven't. He's my favorite figuart.

    Gogdog mentioned the wheelie had Chinese charters on it. My one that was bought from Asia had none. [​IMG]

    It makes me wonder, do they even have a plan?

    The one with Chinese on it also has him packed in vehicle mode. Weird variant. I wonder what the deal is.
