Have you ever considered putting together a book of some type? You’ve amassed a wealth of information over the years. I enjoy reading your articles...even the short “oddities” articles. Case-in-point, perusing your website just now, I happened upon an article about G1 PM Prime. I’ve had that guy since 1988 and don’t think I ever knew that there’s a spot in his trailer where the large head is supposed to be stored. Mind blown.
Hey guys, thank you so much for the kind words! I would actually love to do a Transformers or Diaclone book, a few in fact, but the issue has always been one of licensing. I'm not actually sure how those like @Ryan F have approached the writing of TF material without incurring the attention and interference of Hasbro and Takara the way others have. Maybe if it's a for-profit publication is when you will be asked to cease and desist, but on a very small scale where you're just covering costs it wouldn't be? I'm not sure I am in a position to do one to just cover costs at this point, but maybe one day? All the best Maz
Maybe you can somehow get in contact with someone to do an official book. Pixel Dan also got to write an official book about MOTU toys.
I have an orange/yellow one I tend to consider it as the equivellent of a pre-alternators Decepti-charge.
Mexican tailgate! that is too cool. I love the idea of a book. if that were to happen I think it could become the best selling transformers book ever. your collection of rare figures is absolutely incredible. your photos are just as amazing. [and] those are words I dont use often. you are certainly a credit to the craft. thank you. keep up the good work.
That is supremely kind of you, mate. I certainly do not own all the things I have written about down the years any more, but I could easily do a photography book for what I do own, and an informational book with photos of what others own alongside it. I do wish it was an easy thing to undertake in terms of permissions etc. All the best Maz
God yes. I'd also like every CHUG mold to be done up in all the wacky colors from Diaclone to Antex, to whatever. The fact that we don't have Salt Man and Robot Man repaints of Topspin and Twin Twist is criminal. It's one of the many reasons I miss the club, but they were too shy to actually hammer some of this out. How many times did they pass on some obvious Diaclone decos when they had the chance? Hell, they had SG Soundwave in a set that had a direct Diaclone reference, yet couldn't do black Ironhide? Don't get me started on them actually doing Diaclones of Hoist and Skids but casually breezing past any of the other decos from the same mold.
