    :lolol 
    I really wanted a Hordak figure because to me he is mone of the coolest looking characters from the series and none of the new toys of him was able to slim up the head or shrink it a bit to make it look more proportioned because imo it has always been too big. The "classics" line did him the most justice. Does the wind raider still have the string that winds up when the dragon head spins? That was a fun feature.
    That's a good price on the land shark!

    2 bottles of rit synthetic dye, equal or less than equal amount of water, a thermometer to keep the water below boiling, lots of stirring over low heat for about 4 hours.
    I took him out several times to bend the joints to get it in all places and to cool also.
    I've been talking to a cool guy on here who has experience and has given me good advice to go further.

    Soundwave144 is turning this into a He-Man thread quick! LOL. Looking great, though. Dying is always an interesting process... and a gamble. Never know how it's going to turn out. After you apply the Patchouli to Stinkor, he's going to leave and start following the Grateful Dead or Phish on tour and you'll never see him again.

    I mean wanna talk robits? I’ll probably get that new ss arcee. Best arcee figure in years by a long shot. Contemplating wheeljack and soundwave as well. Also apparently there was an omega sentinel repaint just open on one of the hasbro dudes’ desktops during the interview sooo yeah, more selects Titans after black zarak.

    boom done.

    Also enjoyed MOTU revelation part 2 for the most part, hopefully season 2 happens because it ended with a tease I want to see fulfilled.

    Also also highly recommend arcane on Netflix, it was really good and doesn’t require you to know anything about the source material which is really good because I didn’t going in.

    I am really digging that SS BB Ratchet myself. I love that alt mode.

    For the most part, I really enjoyed Revelations part 2. I know there was one big tease at the last second but there is another tease right before I am hoping pans out also.

    I didn't see all of them but I did see the one that hinted at Omega Sentinel. I'm not much on Titan Class repaints but I might just have to get that one. Omega is my favorite of the Titan Class figures.

    Russellville Wal-Mart got some more SS86 deluxe class Gnaws but no Kingdom Blasters.

    Nuh-UUHHH!! :mad: 
    You want robot talk? FINE! :) 
    I picked this up from Dewayne in Sheridan today! 20211205_151738.jpg 20211205_164631.jpg
    20211205_214054.jpg (its nice to complete a shelf)
    I've only seen a couple in person before; one being at one of Jeff's meetups a few years back.
    He's ONLY missing a peice of track and one of the small yellow clips on the back of one of his legs.

    Yoo want MOAR robit talk @gothsaurus ??
    I also picked this up from him too! 20211205_164649.jpg 20211205_164807.jpg
    I've actually NEVER seen one of these in person that wasn't broken. But I'm happy finally own him because he's hard to find unbroken and for sale. I didn't get his weapons or spoilers but they shouldn't be too hard to locate, but he's gonna stay in alt mode anyways.

    Not enough robot talk yet for ya? HUH??!!
    FINE! Thanks to @gothsaurus , he ordered himself and me a Dracula crossover. Yes its the same mold as mindwipe without the headmaster gimmick, and yes his hips suck just as bad as mindwipes. But dang! This paint job, head and cape make this a much nicer figure! :buttrock 
    Obser-rev... 20211205_211836.jpg 20211205_211853.jpg 20211205_212443.jpg 20211205_212755.jpg

    Yeah, dyeing this figure has been an experience for sure, not sure I want to do it again any time soon... it will be a few weeks before I can get around to painting him and battlecat but stay tuned here!
    The stinkor re-scenting turned out pretty good, the house will smell like hippies for the next month or so but it better than smelling bad I suppose. :thumb  If he runs off with the Grateful Dead, he's got more problems than I do... lolz!
    "back on track"... 20211205_151738.jpg
    :lolol 

    I will likely get soundwave just to have him but I still don't like the human proportions they made him have.
    I hope they continue revalations also!!

    What other tease????

    Same here. I admit that Kup looks a little better with the painted chest but I'm not going to go out of my way to get them. Especially being Target exclusives. I'm just going to stick with the CJ and SS Kup I already have. Now if they had given Kup a brand new (better looking) face, that would be a different story.

    Speaking of SS though, the new SS BB figures went up for pre-order today. Got orders in for Ratchet, WJ, and Brawn. I was not too interested in Soundwave after seeing his alt mode, but that visor design makes him more like SADwave instead of Soundwave. :lol 

    Also for a RED figure, I am really digging that new Knock-Out

    The cape seems to make the figure SUCH more fun!

    Yup.
    Just like Butt-head said to Beavis once. "You can't polish a turd Beavis... huh-huh-huuh..."
    But i do have my eye on that slammer! ;) 

    It's funny you make the joke about Soundwave looking sad. I noticed that today myself.
    It looks as if he lost his favorite mix-tape. *sad trombone*

    Was gonna buy this toy but now that I can't unsee it, I see a human in a good cosplay costume that's sad that he didn't place in the contest and now I don't want it... :(

    Anyone back the Haslab Skystriker? I ended up ordering 2. Really glad they got enough to make the Night Force Ripcord figure, that was the one thing of most interest to me.

    Hoping to make it. Is there a time you might be going?

    They seem nice enough... a cartoonish deco on Cliffjumper and an appropriate aged/cracked/damaged deco on Kup... I'm still passing on them, but heh, maybe it's better than repainting/re-releasing more and more Bumblebees for Buzzworthy.

    I'm glad the Sky Striker succeeded. I really wanted to back it since Im an F14 fan but after paying for Victory Saber and the funding ending this close to Christmas, I couldn't.

    And no meet up for me this weekend. :(
