...and yes... @Ikkstakk is our most favorite, most brainy, remembering fools we "don't" know and we loves him for it!  

 

Merry Christmas everyone!
Now its time for a new challenge, Teke!!

 

Happy Holidays, everyone!  
Hope Santa's been good to you.  



As you can see, Dirge is overjoyed with his Christmas present.  



It's Hasbro's Heroes of Cybertron Dirge, and it's easily distinguished from its (much rarer) Takara counterpart by the blunt nosecone on the head, the paint slathered all over the translucent plastic, and the light-piped eyes.

Oddly enough, it's also the only Conehead Hasbro released in the line.  

 

Looks like he's making the "doll" growl...lolz!

 

Okay, today's challenge is an easy one.
It's a yellow, electric creature who only says his own name... and you have to catch it. Can you guess who it is?  

No, it's not Pikachu.  

 

Kremzeek?

 

Kremzeek!



Specifically, the Kremzeek that inexplicably came with the Refraktor (sic) Reconnaissance Team 3-pack.

 

New challenge is cyberverse spark armor grimlock

whose armor inexplicably takes the form of a garbage truck

 

It looks fine as a garbage truck.
Just keep it as far away from Grimlock as possible.  

 

The armours head looks somewhat like animated Grimlock

 

Overloaded-lock?

 

 

Darn, I has that kremzeek too... Lolz! Stupid sleep cycle...

 

Little early

ReAction soundwave



I kinda want the whole set, but I just can’t swallow the 18$ price tag, maybe I’ll cave later

 

ReAction Figures? Isn't that the company that produces deliberately crappy toys?  

 

I think the word is "retro"  

 

Why yes, yes it is

 

lol, coming from mister walls of Star Wars 5poa



I LEARNED IT FROM YOU!!

but yes it’s that company, and they recently increased the price of everything they put out in response to tariffs or something

it was all fine whatever when they were like 10$ but idk about 18$ even if I think they would look nice on the wall

 

I needz that...

 

Dude, it ain't even like that.



Sure, I got a wall of poorly-articulated Star Wars figures...



...but poorly-articulated doesn't mean poorly-sculpted...



...or poorly-painted, which they aren't.



In fact, they're among the most accurate figures ever produced at this scale.

Learn this from me, then: five points of articulation may mean "retro," but it doesn't mean "crap."
"ReAction" means "crap."

Mind you, that packaging artwork is fantastic.  

 

point taken, I certainly feel as though I now better understand people’s attraction to classic style SW toys, thanks

in this particular case I would argue that the lack of detail and simple paint is acceptable under the pretense of being cartoon like, but I won’t even try to make excuses for the majority of the re action line

other than hardcore nostalgia for the full aesthetic of vintage 5poa, or collecting them like funko pops because they have stuff from a ton of licenses, I really don’t get the appeal, especially with the prices going up

Agreed, the packaging is definitely the highlight, and also was the perfect size to fit all of them a weird place on my wall, but for the price especially after messing with soundwave I rethought my plan as I’m not certain it’s worth it for what I’m essentially treating as a poster

still tho makes for a good challenge lol
