    So this is a huge long shot, but I've had this guy for close to two decades with absolutely no clue what he is. He was a gift and I have no clue what store he came from, though I'm pretty sure he was purchased in Texas. Pretty sure he is a combiner and his arms are separate pieces. Anybody know anything about this figure? He's actually held up really well. The chrome has held up better than most of my officials.

    I had a hunch based on its looks and looked up the Brave series. It looks like party of a set called (I think) Brave Express Might Gaine. There appear to be two other reasons in the set that form the arms, just like you said.

    I'm not super-familiar with all the Brave Series bots, but that definitely looks like Might Gaine to me.

    I think Brave Series KOs were quite common Chinatown finds in the late 90s - early 2000s

    Yep, that's 100% the Locomorizer.

    We really could use more, updated figures from the Brave series. While the different series were of variable quality they were mostly quite enjoyable, and the 'bots were generally all very cool. Advenger is a personal favourite (turns out I like trucks and steam engines - who would have thought?).

    An English released - subbed or dubbed - would also be nice. I wonder if the fansub of Might Gaine was ever finished past episode 29...

    Picked up this set from an Aliexpress seller. Not expecting much from it for $8 something for the set but looks decent enough. The reviews say it's good quality and I always liked these figures. Anyone have these yet?


    Also does anyone have the undersized G1 seekers mold ko's?
    How is the quality? Just picked up Dirge so curious

    I have Ghost Starscream. I've had him for quite a few years now.

    The quality is great however, the neck has broken on mine. That's not to say that's the case on all of them but just thought I'd mention to be careful with it.

    Finally decided to ship my second delivery from Sirtoys ever. Funny thing. Turns out I did end up having several orders on hold for over 6 months when I thought I wasn't going to.

    Oh, that looks neat! I hope it's good!

    I find it totally depends on how often cool stuff is being released (and Paul gets it, of course). Some orders fill really quickly, others only accumulate gradually.

    @SirToys shipment arrived... the OSKO kingdom optimus is bigger than I expected:

    Cell/anime/cartoon MMP-10E eye to eye for a comparison. :D

    That is even bigger than I expected, somehow.

    I think I'd sooner wait for one that's only like... a BPF level of oversized.

    This definitely seems to be geared towards 5-6 year Olds
