L.O Peeps

Spent the last week doing some rennovating of the nerd room. All the comic long boxes have found their way into various cupboards in the gaff and I've used the free space on the floor to arrange my combiners.

Managed to get my hands on a Revoltech Gambit figure and he looks fantastic, although he is a bit fiddly to pose. But once posed - WOOF! He's next to my X-Men trade collection on a shelf along with my Longshot bust and Wolvie-Sabretooth bookends. God I used to love X-Men...

Anyhoo - robits!

Got a MiB MMC Roller I'm looking to get rid of. £65 for anyone who fancies him? Drop me a PM if so.

 

Don't suppose anyone fancies this Bastiony boy? He's a whole lotta bot for £65!  

 

Got this little grumpy boy in the post today. Keeps shouting for Adrian for some reason...


Bubbled up fists live yet. As a test I’m declaring them 100% successful


Just occurred to me the colour isn’t unlike that of blackcurrant chewits

 

MONTH IN REVIEW!
Check out what I've been collecting in May - some lovely stuff going on. Link in my sig below.  

 

What a sweet little morngy bastard!

Thunders is coming along nicely, stunning work as always. I still need to commission you for some Flame Toys kits at some point!  

 

Slightly annoyed I never went there with RockE, my brain went straight to "French Pronunciation", worra ponce!

 

I think I'm gonna sell my G2 gang to fund my new need for legends scale

Spot on with the Chewits. They look delicious!

ooo err! I say

 

Going off the rails on a crazy train! Whilst wearing priest socks.

 

They've just dropped those silhouettes that broke earlier on the Official TF Facebook page & Instagram, absolutely 100% confirmed!

EDIT: FB Post sez "9hrs" ago, so less "just" then, D'oh!

 

Yep. Ss Ironhide kit can be added to the awesome 3p kits we've been discussing. The ankle tilts are fine, if not a lot of movement, the guns are ace and the bumper is perfect, making a great figure awesome!

 

Feel free, what would you want doing with them?

 

Putting together and prettifying, basically what you do best!

Also, if you're all not Team Needlenose, you're wrong.

 

I am definitely up for that!

And Team Needlenose all the way, all I’ll say is he best come with Sunbeam and Zigzag

 

So back in the day Head Robots were popular add ons.

 

I'm thinking about trying my hand at some customisation, can anyone recommend any good guides? I'm particularly looking for tips on working with TFs specifically. I have the basics down thanks to a yoof misspent with Games Workshop's lead and plastic crack.

 

Whaaaaaaaat? Why is Generations Gears so pricey?

 

There's loads of 'How To' from seasoned customisers in the Radicons section that's pretty well linked and curated.

Well, crazily the only place that got him in the UK was The Entertainer AFAIK on grey market import to boot, I believe his wave was skipped by Hasbro UK, and at one point they were selling him and T30 Cliffjumper for a FIVER!?! Thing is they weren't well distributed throughout the UK (I never saw any at my nearest branches and I don't think I missed them to scalpers or owt as there weren't even any stray Cliffjumpers left because they hadn't shifted their OPs & Bees - which were friggin' everywhere in the UK clogging shelves up if my memory serves me) so effectively he's a pretty limited release over here as far as I'm aware.

 

Oh damn, that is a great resource.

 

Very much enjoying David Tennant's Bill Nighy impression and general Hhgttg style whimsy of Good Omens so far.

 

If anyone has 5 minutes to waste, I just came across this super cringey G2 presentation from 1995 Toy Fair.
