Order seperately?

 

Any of you boys pick up the Moon Studios Raiden bots ? If so are they any good ?

 

Yep, the legs and arms are the best out the 6. But its a damn good Raiden when put together

 

thanks   anything specific to watch out for

 

Shouki seems to be the only bot people had problems with. As long as you watch a transformation video for him and for the overall combining (there are lots of things the instructions don't tell you which solidifies it all), you will be fine

 

So Legacy Breakdown is a repaint/ remould of Wildrider? Cool! Those calves are gonna look nice!

 

So pretty. Arguably the prettiest seeker.

 

If anyone wants one of The Madness' Kup heads, I've printed a few off already. They just need priming and painting right now. Give me a shout.  



Me cheap HMATMOTU stuff arrived from IDT today. Beast-Man and Battle Cat are absolutely two of the best in the range - although, as with everything else in the range, they're somewhat lacking in deco. Orko is stuck to his cloud and has hardly any real articulation, which is a shame, and the two larger figures are great, but, once again, really lacking in deco.

One thing that the lack of moving parts means is that painting them will be easier as I won't have to worry about paint damage around the joints.

Finding decent reference pics for these versions of the characters is annoyingly tough, though. I can't seem to get any decent pics of Man-E-Faces at all :S

BTW, heard back from my friend after her visit to A&E and was frankly disgusted at the lack of treatment of concern she received - they sent her home with some fucking leaflets!!
The thing is, though, that even if she's been given what passes for help in the NHS it would have either meant an 18 month+ wait OR something deeply ineffectual and/or basically useless as that's all that's on offer these days - assuming your local health authority can even offer THAT.

People like us fall between the cracks as no-one can be arsed to deal with us because we can't be simply helped with a box-ticking exercise and what passes for therapy is useless since we already know damn well what's wrong with us and why.

 

Paid up Armadascream and Hollywood Star Skullgrin at IDT! Due in the next 5-7 days apparently. Every wave ever arriving simultaneously forever! Next year: All of Evolutions in one week!

Oh well, should be fun. Replies to follow Thrediati! Busy packing to exit this tiny frozen town!

Edit: oh great, this was my post #5000? Didn't even notice until the site gave me a trophy. Bawww! I wanted to do a proper Significant Post with lots of photos! Oh well. Any way the wind blows...   

 

I've been having a run around with NHS mental health services lately too, she (and you) have my condolences.

 

In defence of the NHS, it is royally stretched to breaking point, badly mismanaged by higher-ups who say: "Ooh, me, I can run that service! Yes I can" and of course painfully under-funded. I worked for NHS Mental Health 18 years ago and we were feeling the weight of cuts, deficits and debts back then.

A&E staff SHOULD be better, front-line service SHOULD be better, but I'm still immensely proud that we offer a no-cost service and if you present with any kind of illness or injury, no-one is asking for your credit card before they look at you.

TOYS: Those HE&MOTU look great. The show is awesome and the toys really capture the aesthetic of the show.

 

Bit late now but i started working on a digibash of Furai IDW prime in grimlock colours, before hating it and then totally forgetting about it. i just did a bit more work on it and i dont hate it anymore

 

Yeah this guy feels a lot better to me than Shouki. Once you get your head around the legs it's plain sailing from there. Feels great

 

Ah just assumed this meant any pre order you had with them even if separate orders

 

Spoiler alert for Friday.    

 

Well a good day started with a very promptly arriving Dinoking. So top marks for FedEx, this thing arrived fast!

Initial thoughts…

He looks fantastic, great paint (only a few overspray issues) really nice colours and bold as hell

The ratchets, such delightfully clicky ratchets at the arms

Look at that headsculpt!!

No instructions… Yep, nope, just the figure clamshelled in a box made out of basically tissue paper. BBTS shipped it well, but the box itself makes the legacy packaging feel premium

The legs don’t errr combine, I am pretty sure they will fit in just fine if I had errrr instructions but in the box they are just loosely in place

Loose bits of plastic… I don’t know what this part in my palm is from because…. there’s no instructions or pictures besides a black and white rendering.

 

Nope, it's per order. So if you throw everything on the one order, it all waits. If you order everything on separate orders, but at the same time, and pay for individual shipping, it'll all go out as and when it comes in. So you should be fine putting the 5 pack preorder in.


Man. Today is just a heavy day. Like... really struggling to stay uplifting and positive. Or motivated. Anyone got any good jokes? Or some dad jokes that @Siege Fan likes to post?

 

I believe he's a 1:1 KO of the FE mould. I can't really say for sure as I've never owned one before but he isn't much bigger than the standard voyager BH - he's about the same size.

 

I think all the useful points have already been made, so I'll simply say hi and welcome!

Hear hear. The majority of my caseload with Leeds Mind are NHS workers needing counselling due to overworking and burnout. State of the nation.

BTW, I do believe the severed head has arrived. Thanks @barry
