Recent acquisition, just missing the shield but pristine otherwise (and it's not like he can raise his arms to use it properly):

 

Nice holodeck backdrop.

Computer, save program!

 

So this is a wee bit random, but does anyone here own Encore Omega Supreme or the eHobby Omega Sentinel? if so how does the new face work? did they remold the head or is it just an additional piece you could remove with disassembly?
I've wanted the mold for a while, and I'd prefer a fresh copy over a vintage, but I've always preferred the empty space helmet look of the original over the weird new half face on the encore.

 

I have it (Omega). The new "face" is a separate piece that's easily removable.

In fact I posted pics just recently, on this very thread.

EDIT – Here it is:

The Generation One Toys Appreciation Thread!

 

Oh Sweet. time to get an encore omega.

 

Love the background!

Ta! That prime/ravage one probably isn’t norem as in his other tf art he isn’t using toy based refs (Earl Norem - Transformers Wiki) but it’s got that same oil/brushy blends. Looks kinda like the masters of the universe painted art?
Hm, actually, someone else on Twitter commented that something by the same publisher was Norem: https://twitter.com/prime_kiwi/status/1020955394321993728
Great stuff!

 

Yes I know who you mean now, he did some very interesting and unique transformer art.
With the colouring books they are based on the toys, you would of thought the artist would of signed the work I'll check next time I get them down.

 

I didn't know it was removable, I might take it out of my EHobby Drone and pop it in my original G1 Omega.

 

Here is the piece taken out.



It just sort of clips into place, so tools are not really needed. Just open the translucent canopy and gently pry it out.

 

Triggercons. Had these guys most of my adult life but they need a bit of work to get them up to a decent standard. Windsweeper needs new labels, Ruckus needs a new trigger mechanism to hold everything in place, Crankcase is pretty nice though.

Ruckus



Windsweeper

 

Had Ruckus as a kid, he’s one that I’d love to pick up again at some point soon. I’m sure I started to like him due to the comic?

Appreciating some re-issue Starscream love.

 

I snagged the version with yellow arms/turrets a while back… love that set!

and Javil is the last of the color variants I need from those 2 sets … although, I did just paint the face yellow on a junker for Wildspark  

 

Yeah, Sizzle and WildSpark are hard figures to justify, I'm glad I was offered all six as a MIB set as it made the decision much easier.

And that's a stunning display you shared. Makes me really want to replace my detolfs.

 

My Japanese Battle Patrol Team arrived this morning and I just got around to opening them, and they are gorgeous.



Here's the Super Car Patrol Team.but not quite in the same condition...

 

G1 molds in G2 colours

 

Scored a Powerdasher Jet, I guess Cromar now? Now I just need to find a normal priced Time Warrior.....

 

I need to locate a junker downshift, mine is missing the pin for one of the hood flaps.

 

G1 molds in G2 colours, more pictures in the G2 thread.

 

Minibot recolours.

I think the colurful trio were all convention exclusive keychains circa 2002. Rook, Tapout and Glyph. Weird there was no Brawn repaint. I think grey with green windows as an inversion of Rook would work really well.



Then there were four black blindpack repaints also on keychains, that didn't have names. I like to call them by their Japanese names with a "black" prefix. One day I will get around to replacing the stickers with Decepticon logos as I think they'll work a lot better like that. The stickers are a bit cheap and rubbish on all seven of these figures.
