Found Siege Mirage and Barricade at Forbidden Planet.
Barricade was an unexpected surprise, much, much better than many Deceptions, and it's already a great mold.
Mirage... well, for months I thought Siege Mirage was crap, now I am certain it's a piece of shit. Unstable, bad QC, illogical alt mode, out of scope for its toyline, lazy design and I will stop here to avoid remembering I wasted 18 bucks on it.

 

Bad cop meets worse cop.

 

So, ever notice how Hardhead's chest plate looks like a horrifying screaming skull? Because now I'll never not see it.

 

Can everyone stop saying how great Siege Barricade is please? I was in Smythes today with the wife when I saw him (looks fantastic in the package btw), and she told my that Christmas is coming soon and I might get him then. It's like being a fucking child again! I should have thrown a bloody tantrum right there and then!   

 

Actual question: Who are these redecos representing? I'm not familiar with Micromasters but I know for sure these are new.

 

Given what his redeco Quake has been doing in the new comics, it seems highly appropriate.

 

Without consulting the wiki, the police car is the one from the Sixturbo combiner, the red plane is the Japanese version of Airwave, the Military redecos are the Japanese versions, the yellow fire engine is one of the Metro squad, the white aeroplane is the guy who goes with Whisper, Stormcloud, and the other one, and I think the red one is supposed to be Tote, although I'm not 100% on that one.

 

I saw someone elsewhere say that the people behind the company aren't getting on so well and they've had one too many setbacks of late so, yeah, we may not see much more from them. Apparently Cross-Dimension didn't do half as well as they'd expected and they took a hit with the seekers.

I'm keeping everything crossed for another run of their seekers at least before they cark it as I still need Thundercracker and Skywarp  

I've given up hoping for a Wei Jiang OSKO of Quake now  

 

Kids, trouble sleeping because your toys are literally the stuff of nightmares? Don't worry because now your existential dread can come with you everywhere with this beautiful and cheery pin badge.

 

I think you’re right on the money, though for me I treat the police car as Holi (Stakeout’s Japanese ID) rather than Road Police simply because he doesn’t have a new head (colouring is right positioning for the Operation Combination release though)

 

Yes, Road police should have a hat and tie.

Seriously.

 

Tried poly cement old chap, or is that what you mean by fishy glue? Personally find the poly works great for styrene and is a damned sight cheaper than epoxy!

 

Well that’s Cyberverse season 1 completed. It’s bloody good actually, really enjoyed and probably more than any transformers series since Beast Machines. The final few episodes of the season were spot on and has me looking forward to season 2.

On a not so good note I opened siege Jetfire last night, and there seems no way that battle mask is going to stay on....

 

Classics soundwave is now complete. Much better clean.

 

Seems to be a somewhat common issue, how would you feel about disassembling his head to get the spring out and work it a bit to lessen it's sproing? I only suggest that first as I've read some have tried nail polish/other additional friction fixes that have then caused an issue with the stowage port in the chest armour. If that's your preferred method (and I wouldn't blame you, seeing as I won't be splitting his head again if I can help it) then you might have to remove a wee bit of material from there too to accommodate any peg thickening and maintain proper stowage.

 

I had the opposite problem, the battle mask was quite hard to remove. I fixed it by putting mask and chest armor in an unlabelled box, at night, with no recollection of which house it was.

 

I always feel like
Somebody's watching meeee...

This stuff. Utterly hopeless. I'm only making a small bit of landscape anyway so I'll have enough epoxy to get pieces stuck on. Question is do I stick them on before taking the blowtorch to it to help smooth down joins? I have no idea how it might react.

 

Pre-ordered Marvel Legends Stan Lee with Star Action Figures who's out in March. Looking forward to swapping the headsculpt onto various figures  

I also have a package on the way from my pal in the States who I sent the cash to get me the ML vintage wave 1 brown costume Wolverine and Vision from wave 2 and he's also put the left arm for Sasquatch in as he got it with Deathlok and wasn't going for any of the other figures in the wave so I am now literally an arm and a leg away from completing the big hairy fella.

As @Seeaich says, giving the spring a workout is probably your best best bet, followed by shaving some plastic down from the peg.

The head is a bloody nightmare to disassemble though. The screw cap is your first hurdle, then separating the head halves - on mine these required ten minutes of gentle persuasion to part.

 

Anyone know when Siege wave 5 is released in the UK? Can't seem to find a consistent answer and I need me some apeface
