These fellas arrived this morning from Kapow! Towers:


The fella on the right is for a work colleague. The White Ranger is my very first Power Ranger figure. Not had chance to unbox him yet but he looks a mighty fine addition to the top of the Detolf.

 

Super review, 'palm. Have you thought of making a career out of it?

 

Yes.

 

 
Good morning!

Unusual Saturday off for me plus Mrs Robotmel and minibots are visiting family, so I'm here listening to A Flock Of Seagulls, looking at robots, eating a sausage, cheese and onion sandwich with fiery sauce, all washed down with a lovely cup of tea!

Life.


Such a fun little guy if not a little loose! Some nice leg articulation but a little limited on the arms. Still can't work out a torso lock? Not even sure what the 'correct' transformation is!  

 

G1 Landcross

 

ARE YOU USERNAME LADIESMAN217?!


Wait, I'm g1 barricade. Wrong continuity.


Yeah yeah, g1 barricade is a Micromaster. Well, not anymore.   other than some very minor paint issues, he's done and looking mighty fine. Ha. Haven't shown it, but he does have the squad number on the front left of alt mode to match the one on his chest.

 

Nice Barricade, good Barricade!  

 

Ah, Roadblock. One of my all time favourites.

 

@Decepticreeps100 Got an Important addendum for Galvy face-swapping, Bobby, Ignore version 1 instructions because you can only really get away with popping the neutral face off like that because the other mugs have more mass and shape, instead always slide the front horned part of the helmet off straight forwards leaving just the inner block and face, then swap the face out and slide it the rest of the helmet back on. I could see doing it the lazy/incorrect way leading to some damage if one is unlucky. Safety first, innit?

 

Saturday deskbot and the last work deskbot for a while as starting Monday I'll be working from home for at least 3 months.

 

Alright! Wheels up on Spiale & Rocke! Meanwhile, and amusingly quite in-character, my Aimlesses seem to have gone slightly astray! Their tracking display page has rolled back to Pre-Shipped status but the full tracking indicates they went on a wee tourist jaunt to Dunstable, Bedfordshire (maybe for a bit of a rest), then set off from there, and the final tracking entry so far is:

So they're in the UK...somewhere? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
To be honest I'd much rather have this with a pair of Battlemasters from Big Evil over the same with my (Thank, Primus!) safely-arrived Galvy upgrade!

 

Are you buying via Amazon US? If so Amazon UK have a distribution Centre in Dunstable!   If not, I dunno!  

 

Ahhhh! The Mystery is revealed! Yup, it's Amazon US. This is still the first time I've seen it go to an In-Country Amazon Depot after clearing customs though, so still slightly mysterious! Here's hoping neither of them have fallen out of the jiffy bag or summink!

 

Oooh, 'fulfillment' centre if that makes any difference?  

Edit: TITAN METROPLEX!

Can anyone recommend an decent replacement for the big red gun and large black guns from Titan Metroplex? Does the new Sixgun work with him? Any pics?  

 

Sixgun (like Cog before him) sadly doesn't make any robot-mode holdable guns but he can be festooned around the big fella, it ain't cheap but the best replacement straight gun he could actually hold IMO is the PE Titans cannon re-done in red for Grand Max.


Or if you could maybe track down either a TFC-009 Gear of War 3 Sixgun...

Or a Before & After's Six Sigma?

 

 
Transformers Action Masters Rollout with Glitch and DotM Pinpointer!
Saturday afternoon.

 

Picked up Ricochet recently thanks to thread enablement. Honestly, I think @incapable hulk pretty much says it all.

RTS Jazz is pretty much the perfect CHUG transformer. The POTP Jazz mold absolutely pales in comparison. The head sculpt is terrible, the not-all-the-way-through hands suck and Nebulon would have been an easy win. All that said, I love it as Ricochet. The deco is all kinds of fine. And he's just like Jazz enough to give him the nemesis effect, different enough for them to own their seperate molds.

Does anyone know a way to mount a target master onto his shoulder? In hand it's way too big. Megatron Arm cannon style is cool but Nebuloon has a sticky outy bit that means he doesn't sit properly. Maybe is his wrist swiveled it would fit in his hand hole. But I don't think it does.

Edit: Also, this guy gives me Armada Blurr vibes.

 

I had that with my replacement Laserbeak and Ravage. Weird. Got them fine though.

 

That's a corking condition Rollout, my old one's chest paint went crazed with paint cracks from just lookin' at it!

 

Appreciate that broadcast C
