    The battlemasters are pure awesome. Get them all! (I would, if the wave 2 bastards had ever actually been available.)

    I take full advantage of those moves by giving them to Deadpool in my Marvel Wrestling Federation so he can "Cock shot!" his opponents :D 

    Speaking of Mr Pool, I had some custom accessories arrive this morning,

    Got the Hulk hands from an ebay seller called liselome. Just had to heat the stock hands up to get them off and the Hulk hands slid over the forearms pretty nicely.

    Even with 80th Anniversary Juggy imminent I still love the Select one for it's heft, paint apps and overall presence and Gwenpool's a fun figure I was able to get for just £16 MOC which is pretty cheap by modern ML standards.

    Bizarre isn’t it. I bought/buy most of my siege from Kapow but knew these were a gift from friends and thought I’d be way behind everyone getting these...

    I can totally understand that, especially if you're after something closer to his original appearance.

    A bit of enablement and temptation is a small price to pay for hanging out with great folks.

    Spotted this in Wilko for £1.50 and couldn't resist. They made a figure of a Die Hard henchman! I'm calling him Franz Trooper (geddit?).

    Looks like they've basically rebranded a bunch of unsold The Corps! figures, and for £1.50 each that's fine with me. Fun little toys.

    Ack. You lucky sod! Of all the stuff due out in the next few weeks, I think Jetfire is my most anticipated.

    Fixed that for you factoring in Hasbro UK's efficacy. :p 

    Today's intermittent arms tests are going well, no longer does the action even eject the Cog twin cannon from it's tower hardpoint, Max's most precariously-pegged weapon.

    I will admit that it would probably work really well in a Cyberverse collection


    Also can someone help me out (most likely @Maz) was G1 Punch/Counterpunch ever released here in the UK?

    My custom ‘Gorillaz’ Scavengers shirt for TFN arrived yesterday - print is a bit dark and I’m not convinced it will last, but it’s guaranteed so who knows - with a £5 off next purchase voucher, so I ordered a shirt with my signature image from here on it. I may not be able to buy much but at least I’ll look cool :D

    He was not, alas. Though I should add that the list omits the Throttlebots, who were definitely out in the UK.

    Yes. Bombshell is the best of the three, and Kickback, though has some gangly arms, is needed to finish of the trio.

    Not that I have any favouritism with the Insecticons or anything. :confused2

    I need to pick your expert robobrains! On the very last page of the new Transformers #10 there is a
    giant blue female Transformer. She's a spaceship, Omega Supreme size.
    Any idea who it could be? (The bit in spoiler tags is just a description of a TF, not really a spoiler, but I know some people like to go in completely fresh.)

    That is really weird. There was a toy shop in a town not far from mine that had a few Punches/ Counter Punches on their shelves in the mid 90's (at £4 no less - kick myself to this day for not getting one). Wonder how they got their hands on them?

    I agree with Insugent that Bombshell is probably the best of the three. If you like Skrapnell, you'll like the others!

    TASTE THE NEON FUCKAS!!!
