Half my childhood dreams. Please do a Decepticon’s one and a robot mode one for each faction. I really appreciate all the photos you are posting up.

 

First Transformer of 2020 and Spinister has some of the best damn joint tolerances I’ve ever seen, no wiggle in any joints if shaken, everything moves without forcing and the joints still move with ease. 10/10 figure this guy

 

Brendan, got my little lad a PS3 for Christmas as my little girl with DS loves a Karaoke sing along so Nana bought her Singstar and mics for it and Pro Evo 18. Also rocking it at ours at the moment is Gran Turismo 5 which a certain young man looks like he wants my crown.

Is it up on your site Liamado?

 

I think Hardhead pisses all over the other two released so far. The three arrived together and yeah, he's just a better toy. Chromedome's alt mode is much improved but his headsculpt is pretty off to me. Weirdwolf is visually very cool but no updates to his articulation aside from a head swivel hurts at this size. They're also biiiiiig - this is that Legends+ bollocks, innit? Works here, for me anyway. Headmasters are big lads.

 

That head looks great. And though the gaps on hide don't bother me, there's no denying ratchet there looks phenomenal.

 

A FFVI bonus run about to start ? What a night <3

 

We all know a Transformer's general proportions = massive chest and limbs + tiny head. But Aunthentics Statscream takes it to "Goomba from Mario Bros movie" levels.

 

I opened mine up a couple days ago. Initially I couldn't get the copter mode's undercarriage to close up properly (and once again the instructions have been printed on reality warping paper that refused to be viewed clearly) and I was getting really frustrated with him.

Then I figured out (just) his left hip needed rotating 180 and suddenly BAM everything fits together snug as a bug in a rug. Genuinely amazing figure... but until that little revelation I wasn't sure he merited all the praise he was getting.

Hmm. Still have a few to open... including a SS Soundwave and Siege Ratchet... as well as a few things from (and from before!) TFN... like Ectotron.

 

I’ve cut right back as well. Don’t pre order or go early anymore as the QC just isn’t there. I’ve focussed a lot more on 3p stuff like the MMC tapes and recently nabbed the WJ versions of Chromedome and Hardhead. Sorry for your woes chaps.

I love how there’s so much white knighting of TT, but genuinely, 3P/KO versions genuinely seem to have the better quality.

Used to prefer PES back in the day - Master league teams that included Miranda (slow but creative) and Castillo up front!

Hope you’re feeling better soon @incapable hulk  

 

It most certainly is.  

 

If I were to order from TokuToyStore I’d be paying nearly a tenner extra, so as inconvenient as it is, it still comes out cheaper than the UK alternative for me.

 

anyone else ordered SS Scavenger from Amazon.com? - seems to have gone very quiet since i placed the order before xmas - and the 'expected delivery date' is today, so unless it's piggybacking on the next ICBM heading over to the middle east, it's not going to be hear today...

 

Say whaaaat!?

 

Its interesting to see how much the MP line seems to have been abandoned. I just slowly seemed to lose interest in it, with increasing cartoon accuracy and increasing prices, I was just getting better value elsewhere. Plus, 2019 was a..... financially challenging year. I think that the last MPs I got were Cordon, and before that, Road Rage and Bumble. Given my lack of interest in MPs, and not really seeing the attraction with the Legends scale stuff beyond a couple of key releases, but purchasing has been at an all time low. I am finding that I am rebelling against the cartoon accuracy trend, and going for 3P releases that are stylised and sticking to companies that I trust the quality with - Generation Toy, Toy World, MakeToys. Currently I am 2 deep into the GenToy Protectobots, First Aid and Groove in hand.

The reminds me that I need to crack open my ToyWorld Hardhead. I picked him up to go with my FP Brainstorm, Chromedome and Highbrow. No regrets at all. I am sure FPs Hardhead will be along any time now..... yep..... just around that corner......

 

Dude, with your timescale of opening figures, you might just prove yourself right. Also, Hardbone is an awesome toy.

 

Ooh, I am well out of touch. Really sorry if it’s already been asked, but what exactly is this/is it part of a pack, and any recommended sellers?
Sold on that photo alone!

 

get well soon, man!

He is really looking fantastic. Great work, as ever!

And who are we to kink shame?

So ER Inferno has got to be coming, right? With both Artfire AND hauler as exclusives repaint fodder I really feel like he's going to be a mainline release too. Doesn't seem like he'll need a massive retool from Grapple either. The hose hand is already covered. Swapping the crane for ladders is a given. I just can't imagine them not giving him his 'ears'. I just hope they won't scrimp on them like they have with Wheeljack's 'ears'. Likewise his 'head hose'.

Also, this photo is fuzzy due to all the smoke from fire fighting, k?

 

I used to be an avid MP collector up until 2015 but the rising cost and mixed qc on some figures made me move away from it then.

I can accept a degree of qc issues and paint application variability on mainline releases like potp, generations, studio, siege but not on MP.

 

Also...
Better Galvatron soon pls? I'm really hoping this 'Voyager E Megatron/possibly Energon Megatron' is a prepaint/pretool for a new Galvs. He really is one of my great wishes for the trilogy.
