ok... that's just fucking creepy

 

I mean... you posted it on a public forum...

 

No judgement here.




*judges immensely*

 

I never got to talk about this and, since I can't find a recent Beast Wars appreciation thread, I guess here could be a good place for it.



Got MP Blackarachnia last year and this is pretty much where the price of MPs start increasing. This is especially obvious when you compare it to the previously released MP Cheetor that is a bigger figure and yet, is cheaper. Sure, Blackarachnia comes with more accessories to compensate for that but I don't believe is enough to justify it.

Sorry, had to get that out of my chest.



The beast mode is... not the best. I think that has been said several times by many people but it always need to be repeated whenever you see it. Is just not successful at depicting a believable animal, especially compared to the previous BW MP releases. Yes, this was the clear sacrifice because of the mode that most people are going display her but hey, one can always wish for something better isn't it?



And this is indeed "something better". Masterpiece Blackarachnia's robot mode is one of the most successful, if not THE most successful, robot modes from the entire line. Is just the perfect representation of the character from the show from basically any angle and the amount of accessories she comes with manage to depict many of her most famous scenes. Articulation is also pretty good as expected and scales beautifully with the rest of the line. No complaints here whatsoever, many of my previous complaints seem worthless now in fact.

I'm still deciding if I should get either Lio Convoy or Tigatron for my next BW MP purchase but I guess I will get the former since that's the easier to get right now for me because of this goddamn pandemic and import issues (Despite that Tigatron is no doubt the better looking of the two).

 

The Appreciation thread's right here: Beast Era (Wars/Machines/etc.) Appreciation Thread

I actually had all my BW MPs out earlier, and man this line is fantastic. Each one is damn near perfect and they look so incredible together.

 

Anyone have any good paint matches for the gold on her robot mode hand? mine has a little chip, and due to my extreme pickiness I am trying to learn to fix minor flaws like this rather than buy six of these things to get one with no minor flaws.

Much appreciated

 

Got BA back into spider mode for Halloween! Poor arachnophobes...

 

I’m putting all my beasties in beast mode so I can safely pack them up for moving day. They’re the last figures I’ve kept out on display for obvious reasons.

I’ve stuck a clear plastic coin-stand under Blackarachnia to get her elevated. It just makes her that touch more creepy looking.

 

I have tons of those coin display pieces!!! Thanks for the idea buddy!!!!! I’m flabbergasted that I didn’t think of it myself. Genius!

 

Looks like the stand for the disk that dinobot has

 

Beautiful.

 

I was going to say something about the bones of thine enemies, but I guess that doesn't work.

 

gorgeous photos!

 

Why aren't anybody compalining about her analog mammary glands? Are they accurate compared to Arcee?

 

MORE accurate...haha.

 

  CGI more accurate then. Hand drawn cel are not?  

 

So... when's Takara going to release the silver deco from when she gets powered up by that Vok island?

 

Along came a spider! Nice!
