    There's some screenshots/pics of Reboost in this review - Masterpiece MP-54 Reboost Pictures Review. - he's at least a head taller than ER Hoist

    @SJW and whoever else is waiting for Omegalock to deliver TE Prime...

    TFS-Express just updated in twitter to say they've got it in stock. Given they supply Omegalock, it looks like it’s a delay on the Chinese side... not sure if this means they'll now ship to Omegalock, or if they've already done so. Last time I saw something like that Omegalock posted the same thing on twitter just afterwards, so perhaps TFS-Express got stock in a few days ago and are now ready to ship to non wholesale customers?

    Whatever, your figure is definitely on the move!

    Mostly disapointment unfortunately.
    Biggest ones that come to mind is PoTP Rodimus, his concept art looked amazing, and the concept art for Kingdom that included Polar Claw :( 

    Oh and TR Overlord looked much better, I feel his tooling budget got cut fairly dramatically.

    Sky Lynx also looked a bit better and included an astrolabe minicon, but I give him a pass as the end product was actually still really good.

    Wednesday.
    Discovered a Christmas episode of Gone Fishing is going to air on Boxing Day. Wondering if Bob will have leftover turkey as his car meat :D 

    IDW = I've always said I struggled with how much the Transformers were humanised in MTMTE, but it did provide THAT exchange between Swerve & Red Alert which tickled me and I liked some of the character designs including Swerve & Tailgate who were brilliantly recreated by MakeToys for what're still up there among my favourite 3rd party figures.

    And there's Last Stand Of The Wreckers. So they've got that going for them.

    @Xaran Alamas,
    If I recall the story about Karen Gillan was from someone who worked for Big Chief Studios and they described how she sat there with her agent pointing out all the changes she wanted making to their prototype sculpt and they had to go along otherwise they wouldn't have been able to make the figure.

    On the flipside Clark Gregg was so excited to get a figure of himself as Agent Coulson he leaked an image of it before Hot Toys did their reveal! :D

    Hah! I think I've heard before that Clark Gregg is practically the biggest fan of them all xD or rather that Coulson's fanboy nature is not much of a stretch from him :D

    There's been a few other MCU stars that have had pics with their HT figures but Clark was likely the only one that was genuinely into it....he's even got an extra Coulson figure he's said he won't ever open :D 

    Dave Bautista was also blown away when he got a Lego minifigure for Guardians of the Galaxy and said it meant more to him than any of his wrestling figures :D 

    He also has a bit of geek in him as one of his hobbies is collecting metal lunch boxes.

    Man would love to see the Rodimus concept. Makes me think of how Powermaster Prime's various concepts were so cool.

    Lol, that's adorable. I always love when it turns out celebs are genuinely huge geeks :D 

    It'd be cool if Hasbro did a big old art book with concept art and the like, kind of like that Generations book Takara did over in Japan but in, well, English (well, failing that, American English :p  )

    I finally have my Rainmakers! Thanks Collectors Kingdom.

    Problem is, I've remembered why I skipped them back in 2019. They look a bit cheap *ducks*. Not sure if I'll keep them. I wanted to paint the silver highlights on the chest but that will just make the blue one another Thundercracker.

    I guess it's still a decent price for 3 Voyagers, so no complaints on that front.

    Never! It's how I buy my soul back from Satan!

    True.

    I prefer the tlk one, but always prefer the head sculpt on aoe scorn. Didn't have that Jimmy Hill chin.

    Love it! Time to get the Xmas cheer rolling!

    That minicon with skylynx sounds awesome. I always suspected there was maybe a wee budget cut involved with Overlord.

    Think this is it?

    Been published a while ago.

    I'd be down for a commander class priced version of that in the future

    Thanks for this. Man, this really is gorgeous, though must admit, i can't see the journey from here to the figure we got. Presuming they scrapped the whole thing and started again?
    Bwahahah! what is this nonsense? I love it. Someone grab a few elastic bands and CW arealbots and make this please!
    Also, what value is jazz adding here? Maybe he brings the playlist?

    Ridley Scott calls Gucci family outrage over biopic ‘alarmingly insulting’

    Mate, that movie looks like an insult to everybody's intelligence. Like an ITV reality show trailer with a budget.

    I wonder did Gucci weigh up saying nothing and hoping for the best, or think 'OMFJ, this lump will actually hurt us'. Maybe they're playing a long game and deliberately making headlines. But that film looks like it was written by a fan fiction zealot.
    ...

    I'm assuming mint GI Joe prices are insane then? Forgot I screenshot these, the red ones are actual sales :eek:

    Ah thanks, awesome.
    I don't think its too bad, but I do see where you are coming from, especially since he's supposed to be a small car and in that pic he's stood next to a sports car and some kind of maintenance truck.

    Perhaps I'll stick with the £20 one when it comes out and if in the future I decide to start really slipping into MP scale get him then ... but who knows.
    I actually like the look of the Legacy one and I don't have a big attachment to him due to his lack of screen time in the G1 cartoon, but I have been reading the Marvel comic of late and he does feature in quite a few stories in that.

    The lunch box collecting was something that he revealed during his wrestling days so it wasn't something he invented since getting on board with Marvel in order to come across right with the target audience.

    Just goes to show that you can't always judge a book by it's cover, most people see Dave and likely think his only hobby is working out but there's a bit more to him.

    EDIT,
    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 - Nendoroid Rocket and Groot Figures - The Toyark - News

    Haven't got a new Rocket for ages so this one is somewhat tempting although to be honest I'm a bit bored of the first couple of movie costumes.

    If they do an Endgame version I'd be much more tempted as that's his best live action attire so far.
