    Snapdragon came in and I'm re-living quite a few memories with him. Only bad part is how hard it is to get the Headmaster to snap into the dragon part. I keep fearing I'm gonna break the little guy's neck.

    I preordered Nemesis Prime. Not *entirely* sold on him as a Nemesis Prime (but I do like the choice of the Siege mold), but the black trailer with Netflix Wave 2 Optimus Prime will make a killer G2 Optimus Prime.

    This looks like a silly crossover with scooby-doo that I didn’t know I needed.

    That’s fine. To each their own. Still it’s what I pictured when seeing your photo. Regardless of the scooby, it’s still a silly photo and I love it.

    Snapdragon is so awesome, he's everything Apeface wasn't.

    Cheers!

    The helmet on the original toy was black, and a scroll through TFwiki shows it was black in Marvel G1 and orange for the majority of the cartoon except for one episode (Auto Berserk).

    100% agree! No space poo paint, that hip swivel, and transforming Snapdragon is so much more satisfying and not frustrating.

    Feels good having them together for sure though! :D

    I had the exact same experience with the unattached Quintesson faces. The first face was tough but went on with a little force. The red/wrath face was IMPOSSIBLE. I struggled for a good half hour. First I tried boiling water. Then I tried trimming plastic off the face peg. When that still didn't work, i trimmed around the slot. (yeah, yeah.) That finally did it. I also needed to step away from the damn thing for awhile. Was it the red face for you too?

    Very nice display! Makes me wish I'd picked up the Quint Scientist when he was on clearance for twenty bucks.

    Re-creating the "Return of Optimus Prime" Had to use Combiner Wars Sky Lynx as the Earthrise version is too big :D

    As @daimchoc pointed out, Sky Lynx is in his bird mode in the cartoon screen cap, so I took another pic with Earthrise Sky Lynx!

    I found the black square pieces on ER Exhaust’s hood irritating, so I painted them white.

    Painted with Elmer’s Painters paint marker (ultra fine tip).

    Guess what I just got.

    20200829_160525.jpg 20200829_160757.jpg

    I was initially not interested in a dead deco of Earthrise Optimus... but that was before having the main figure on hand and realize it was the best Optimus mould ever so now I'm willing to get as many variants of the figure as I can.

    This Optimus in comparison is not as great. The joints are starting to get loose but then again, isn't it fitting that Optimus is deteriorating after being dead? Plus, I'm also considering him as an, er, "Alternate Universe" Optimus like the Shattered Glass version. Probably from the Dead Universe or something.
