    Love that Scavengers tee, Redbubble?

    Takes ages listing stuff doesn't it! Danbot's sale thread can be found there. I've tried to keep prices fair, but if anyone is interested, and the price seems out of line, I'm sure we can do something.

    For a moment there, i was trying to figure out who the 250 throttleb0ts were an how i missed so many.

    Those two i remember seeing in tru at the metro centre. Also had optimal optimus. I only got the optimus.

    Though many many years later, i was able to grab a tm2 Megatron second hand.

    Ended up dipping back into the Gunpla myself, once again for TF appropriation!
    I'm taking a punt on a Gundam Builders parts set that I think will most likely be too small a part for Max's arm...
    [​IMG]
    ...but I'm sure it'll come in handy for, er, something, and it's only just over four quid.
    Plus it'll help pad out my latest other rabbit hole order, while trawling for possible parts I have stumbled upon HiQ Parts Aurora seal/stickers that seem to be a sticker-backed polarizing plastic films for use on Gundam eyes and visors which, if I've parsed the fragmented translated info across multiple listings on various sites correctly, is actually transparent to boot! If that's the case it might be a way to really make Max's eyes pop whilst preserving his light-up function too, and should that be the case it'll blow my lightly-painted over Toyhax eyes stickers away entirely!
    Sadly nowhere seems to have my first choice of the blue version in stock so I'm taking the punt on the two shades of green, green and mirage, because Max already has that sea green transparent thing going on. Mirage looks like it might be the better match but I'd rather compare and contrast in hand.

    I bunged the first part of my Gunpla build chronicling up on my Patreon. I've kept it short, as I figure it's better to be able to provide smaller, more frequent updates. Please give it a read and share it about!

    Picked up some essentials for the upcoming weekend: beers/rum/JD/coca cola/crisps/chocolate/monster - all very healthy!

    List wise, I don’t really have anything on the agenda...probably just wander and pick up anything that catches my eye.

    Looking forward to meeting up with everyone who helped make last year so enjoyable and meeting new peeps!

    I’ll be wearing a variety of t-shirts in order to combat any funkiness that may occur but my face will largely stay the same:

    Looking forward to seeing everyone, to those not attending, I hope you enjoy TFN from afar!

    Yep, it is, although it belongs to someone else. It's fine, very tight joints. I saw your note about the leg on yours - very bad!

    I just realised earlier, i have my custom classics warp and cracker still. Think orange on one for sun storm and gunmetal the other to be one of those generics from the toon pilot.

    Exactly!
    When it comes to realistic model making, well, that's getting a bit too real!!!
    That it's a mass-produced model to boot, mindboggling!

    Picked up an on sale Ultimate Riders Wolverine whilst browsing Comics & Cocktails the other day and think the eyepatch head is way better than the snarling sculpt so it's staying on for the foreseeable future although I'm looking at a couple of custom options as well.

    [​IMG]Trouble by Brendan Mitchell, on Flickr
    Bullseye arrived a couple of days ago but didn't do much with it straight away as I was searching for Oreo and by the time he was safely back in HQ I wasn't in the right mood. Very nice figure overall although the extra hand with the effect that's supposed to look as if he's throwing some knives looks like a big, floppy claw when it's on the figure so I'll display it without that.

    I really like both headsculpts and it's one of the newer ML bodies with the butterfly joints at the shoulders which I really like as it increases the options for various poses.

    The wad of cash he's holding was bought off ebay in a set of 10. I'm going to see if I can get some playing cards for him next.

    Now I have Kingpin & Bullseye I'm itching for a red costume Daredevil but will either wait for a new Hasbro one on a better body as the existing ones are a bit clunky or see whether Medicom do a MAFEX version.

    [​IMG]Black Cat by Brendan Mitchell, on Flickr
    I've had Black Cat for a little while now and am pleased to finally get her in a decent pose as the heels make standing the figure without using some sort of stand a bit awkward.

    "SORIGHT?" "SORIIIGHT!" was the first thing to pop in my head. That Uniskull just tickles me for some reason.

    Uh, Can I maybe just buy that head?

    Loving the smashed eyes look, I guess that'd be an alternate faceplate maybe?
