    Though, I do wonder about maybe adding some kind of detail to one of the Air Vehicons to make him like a Sergeant or something hmm

    If you'd asked I'd have assumed these flopped over here, I remember seeing them once in total then something similar in Home Bargains decades later.

    In the Takara toylines for Prime and RiD they had vehicon generals coloured silver, black and red although that might be more effort than you're willing to put into customising them.

    CALENDAR UPDATE

    The 2021 calendar... is DONE!

    The covers are a bit of a 'greatest hits' what with the reuse of the Shitbot bits I've produced over the years, but there's a reason for it... because now it is Hubcrap's time to shine!

    The picture quality this year is fantastic, you lot have outdone yourselves I swear. There are a couple of new contributors in here as well as plenty of regular ones too, but I have to say picture choice was up in the air right up to the end. One picture I found hilarious was only given the boot because it just didn't look good on any page! Such a shame I couldn't get it to work.

    Anyway a massive thanks to all contributors, Simon Williams, @Avon, @Brooticus, @Sixo, @incapable hulk, @nice sideburns, @Rotorstorm, @Maz, @MyTea Boc, @Napalm, @kgorman79, @scubaboy31 and @IronicHide! A super special thanks to @OptimusTimelord for allowing the use of his amazing Gif!

    Please have a peruse through the pages and see if I've made any eggregious errors (like birthdays or names/credits) and feel free to point out if anything is amiss.

    And with that... PREORDERS ARE OFFICIALLY OPEN.

    Having spoken to my printers the 2021 Calendar cost will be £15 plus P&P, same as last year! If you want one of these lovely calendars for next year PM me and I'll whack you on the list! Make sure I respond to you because if I don't, it probably means I've missed you.

    Oh and shall we say final date for preorders is December 2nd? Same day as Lockdown 2 end... fancy that. With a little luck I should have these in your grubby hands before the end of the year!

    So far I have sneaky pre preorders from @doucoo, @Napalm, @simond, @MyTea Boc, @Apollux, @Brooticus and @Underlord. If I've missed anyone (and it's likely, what with this shoddy 3P operation) just PM me again!

    Phew.

    Real long shot here but I don't suppose anyone here bought the Marvel Legends Endgame Hawkeye/Widow 2-pack and doesn't want the Black Widow head?

    Just found out it looks great on the ML movie Widow fig

    Imagine if Hasbro made a calendar around their release schedule, you wouldn't know what month it was :lol

    I think I vaguely remember seeing those as a kid.

    Yeah, that's a bit more extensive than I had in mind :) 

    Beautiful :)

    I'll probably get it but there's something off, somehow. Can't put my finger on it. And when you've got an unopened Select one... Urgh. And do I get Rogue or not?!

    Pretty much everyone I knew had a boglin growing up. It was the mini boglins that were the big craze at my school though.

    Fantastic work, kit! Let's hope this calendar represents a better year!

    Were they expensive? Like I remember so many toylines from the time, even who specifically had them that I knew, but next to nothing of these.
    ...

    Could arrive tomorrow of course...!

    The film is called rise of cobra, but the name cobra is never said once. Not even when he becomes cobra commander. That confused the wife and i had to explain afterwards what that scene meant and how the movie utterly failed the villains. Then said that they actually name them in the next one and cobra commander doesn't look so stupid. She then told me to stop because i was spoiling too much. When the fact your villain organisation is named in the sequel is considered aspoiler, you gotta ask if its a good movie?

    Commander does look bloody stupid in that movie. Awesome in retaliation though.

    I didn't mind them as I watched them but then I knew I was also forgetting them as I watched them!

    And you really have to specialise in bland to take that many characters and motifs and still come up with 'dull'.

    Applied Toy Galaxy's Golden Rule, and have left one for the next fan by cancelling my US Paradron Pre-Order because I have more faith in the Vanbro bod than the Datbro one. Plus I get to shed -1 x Greed!
    Goodnight, All!

    Could be worse, I am thoroughly kicking myself for painting my silver one blue to be Jetstorm rather than leaving him silver (in reality a silver plastic that hides details)

    maybe I should consider stripping it back to the grey plastic then painting it show silver colours
