My TFNation Mini-Con haul. Well the toys anyway



I also got Scarenthood from Messr Roche and several pieces of art, three of which featuring the greatest Autobot of all time, you may have heard of him, THUNDERCLASH!

 

In terms of my March Transformer hauls, it might only be MP Hound. However, we've been full of random extra things to improve the photography, including this gang:

Holo matter avatars? Partners? Mech Pilots? I'm not sure where I see the story going, it was more about just making the shot work.

Speaking of which, does this work better? Less blur on the bots in the back, but some stuff at the their feet at the front. Still trying to work out this forced perspective stuff:

 

So piecing this together from comments here...the full price Studio Sludge I got a couple of weeks ago...was/is on sale from hasbro for 30ish quid?

  I buy ONE mainline figure this month. One...

In other news. Think I have one more big shelf for a big figure [thinking FH Armada Prime] then...display space used up. Scary!

 

  I asked my sister to grab that G2 Rage but she said it was gone when she went back. Now it all makes sense   

 

Not going out due to being poorly = drinking dosh to spend on toys. Thus, ROTB in da house!



Crashbar: "Welcome, gentle reader, to Buck Dollar's Pre-Loved Automobile Emporium. One size fits the whole family!"

Scraphook: "In Junkion Empire, car buys you!"



Crashbar is of course fab. I think the Junkionisers work better than anything in this vein since the Titan buddy-bots.

Normally I complain about clear-plastic Scout-sized Studio "Deluxes", and then buy them anyway. In this case however, I heard good things about Riseformer Bee...and they were true!
The clear plastic is all separate pieces as with the Studio Series Wreckers, rather than whole sections being molded in clear and then partially painted, and the rest of his plastic feels nice and thick.

As Bumble is my favourite Transformer (if you can't bee-t 'em, eh?) I couldn't resist....I like the look of Battletrap too, but not at nearly 40 bob! Scourge I'm not sure about.
The cat and the birb look nice, but I think they'll end up on discount.

 

Love seeing these guys together!

G1 Sandstorm is just beautiful!

 

It may make you feel a little better to learn at least one of the folks who took a punt on him got their order cancelled, so stock may have been very limited!

I was all about to defer delivery of the Baroness & her B.A.T. due to their ETA of Monday now but on consulting my rota it appears that I can have a Happy Monday as my return to work is belated due to the shift patterns, fly, my pretties, FLY!

Was it about a month or so ago now? Some SS listings dropped that included some (SS Sunstreaker among 'em IIRC) that appeared to be mislisted Bay MVs numbering when they are likely SS86, try a word search for "Sunstreaker" in the Spec and/or SS found listings news threads?

 

At the price I couldn’t continue walking, if it’s any consolation I did take him off the bubble to inspect (was opened and stapled back to the card) part of one of his clear plastic hinges is broken (part is still there but still quite sad to see) despite the bargain price

 

Yellow Warpath ??????

 

@Fort Max THIS News Post for Core Rumble, THIS for Core 86 Frenzy.

 

Who are those figures?

 

Some more Thunders love.

Last couple of shots utilise every single joint he has. Impressive range for such a bulky bot.

 

I remember seeing those posts! Puzzled now.   

Core Red Tape I was expecting, but I thought that was to go with Core Blue Tape, who we already have (or would if he wasn't such a boojum). Perhaps I need more caffeine!   

 

It will be from Blueshift/RockLordsRock
Blueshift's customs on Instagram: "Seven custom resin cast Warpaths in all the colours of the rainbow! These lads will be available at Toy Fu at the March TFN Minicon in aid of the charity Mary's Meals. (I'll be adding rub sign stickers to each one as well!) Which is your favourite? You might have seen these on Gav Spence's YouTube channel in his latest video, you can also win one of my custom Repugnus Warpaths, details here: https://youtu.be/x9oBuUOTHIU #transformers #g1transformers #customactionfigures"
I have an action master Xaaron that he did for the big broadcast

 

Frenzy could still be a new Bayverse Core but I also can't see Hasbro not milking that mould for every potential Deco.

Still a bit miffed I prevaricated on snagging an AM Xaaron, he's a great size to go with the WFC Impactor bod!

 

The Erl King sits upon his throne in the smothering heat of Castle Perilous, surrounded by his most trusted advisors.

They are Grand Vizier Starscream, High Priest Fallen, Techno-Adept Shockwave, and his favourite son, Prince Galvatron.



Prince Galvatron (thinking): "Soon..."

 

Nice!

Scarenthood is a great read, hope they do more.
But how's the thunderclash glamour shots? Tastefully nude?

 

Cheers, think I did see those but glanced over rumble assuming it was one we just got.

 

Meanwhile, in a muddy field, Prince Optimus takes counsel with his Chamberlain Sentinel, the wise Ratchet, Doctor of Physick, and his loyal household knights.

Exiled by his brother's treachery, the rightful heir to the Bay Willow Throne wanders through hollow lands and hilly lands, seeking what? He does not know.



Sir Jazz: "If we might only find the AllSpark, sire! It would surely light a path to deliver us from our sorrow."

Chamberlain Sentinel: "Good Sir Jazz, the AllSpark is but a story told to protoforms! We must seek the Matrix, and in seizing it seize the day and all tomorrows!"

Sir Lod: "Non, we should, ow you say, look for l'épée Excalibur! With eet Prince Optimus may cast down ees wicked brothere and at last la justice shall prevail!"

Court Jester Skids: "No way bruv, we should travel to the legendary world planet of Earth, and live there in disguise innit."

** crickets **

Sir Crosshairs: "Don't be bloody stupid, Skids. Why in the name of Primus would we ever wanna do that?"

 

My God! It was Hasbro swapping figures all along.  





Someone ordered Crosscut from Pulse, lol.
