I just checked and both the face and waist are easily removable so it'd be a pretty easy paint job. I think I'll do that the next time the weather is good enough to go out and spray.

 

I wanted to thank both of you for encouraging me to keep an eye on Toy Dojo/ping Toy Dojo directly to see if they still had any Lucullus left. I emailed them, got a prompt response letting me know their distributor had one left, and got my order in. Mine arrived yesterday. I'm so relieved I got this guy for US retail instead of being stuck with crazy eBay rates or nothing at all.

Newage vs Magic Square (I really wanted NA's Delta Magnus because of the separate cab, but I also find I prefer the colors and bulk of NA over MS's more lithe attempt)

 

Finally got my Shining Magnus in from TCP:





House of magnus!

 

Should snap a pic with them in that same position but armored up.

 

I do wish the skull face of Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus showed was actually visible in pictures.

 

add a coat of silver paint on the back side of the face and it'll show much better.

Anyone else's Shining Magnus or any Magnus have this back panel that refuses to fold flat? Mine folded up fine at first but now when I try it, it just slowly bounces back into this position

 

New week, new Magnus:




Heh, I wasn't gonna buy two of the ex version just to display with and without armor, so since the EX version is more detailed, used the unarmored Magnus for the EX-armor and display the unarmed EX corebot unarmored:

 

Not quite to that degree, but yes, that part is a little finicky and refuss to lay flat once no longer being held in place. But it's always been like that on my Piss Mag and it doesn't slowly move, it's more or less instant once no more pressure is on it.

 

That's how mine was. Granted I was finally able to get it to stay by holding it in the right position for a bit

 

I want to see more pics of your custom fortress Maximus.

 

Damn. Makes me kinda regret passing on the toy Galvatron. I set a rule for myself, though, that I'm sticking with S1 for toy versions just because I don't want a whole other giant collection in addition to all my other collections. Um... hm. I kinda forgot that rule when I got Magnus. Damnit.

 

Well the good news is if you decide you want him, baba still has him in stock

Damn you and your temptations. LOL!  

 

I guess an exception can be made for both City Commanders, right?  

 

Damnit! Why do you do this to me? Now I've got an order in for yet another toy I don't need.
 
But seriously, thanks for the tip. I did kinda regret passing on Galvatron.

 

LoL… i had no intentions of picking up toy Galv, as well i kept telling myself i won't get toy UM. but yet here i am now!  

finally just gave in and got toy UM. in the end i couldn't resist the new face sculpt and colours. and while getting that, i rolled back and got toy Galv while i was at it, as i wanted the clear cannon for the EX.  

BTW it's laughable how frick'n stupidly large they made the matrix that comes with toy Galv compared to the actual matrix that fits in Prime.  

 

The Matrix is like The One Ring. It can grow or shrink in size depending on the wearer and its purpose in that moment. And also haven’t you heard of mass-shifting?
