We've seen it before, but here are a few pics I snapped in-store a bit ago of the Unite Warriors Grand Galvatron coin:

 

I'm with you there. Personal pet peeve of mine anytime I see a nice collection/display of figures and they're all standing straight at attention and not even a hint of personality to them.

I try to display mine at least where they don't look like they're front and center to their drill sergeant or packed like sardines  

 

The only reason some stand like tin soldiers is because I'm trying to save space but there are plenty I have in unique poses like CW Blast Off.

 

Mine are posed at attention at the moment because I'm rapidly running out of space...

But once I get my display cabinet I'll be posing them, give 'em some personality.

 

Welp, I guess I've got the set of 5 CW Sky Reign 'bots on the way. I only actually want Sky Lynx and Hound, but £65 for the set is a total steal, and if I sell the ones I don't want at retail price, I basically get Sky Lynx and Hound for around £17, which given I probably wouldn't have been able to get either individually without paying through the nose is really rather fantastic.
Also I finally got Prowl yesterday and I am super impressed. Considering he's "just" a redeco with a new head he totally owns the mould, way more than Streetwise even. Love the headsculpt as well, makes the one on '08 Universe Prowl look like total ass.

I've gotta be honest, I've thought this on a few occasions as well. I totally get it for reasons of space, and it's not like I'm say here thinking "you're doing it wrong!" either, but for me personally I can't leave my TF's just stood to attention. It doesn't have to be anything dramatic, just a slight bend in the elbows and knees and turn the head slightly, just something that brings out the character of that toy.

 

This literally sucks. I paid $60 for shipping for Bruticus and postal service is going on strike.

 

Same here with MP Shockwave. Paid for EMS shipping and he got delayed for a month in the CBSA backlog. It happens. It sucks, but it happens. And hey, maybe they won't strike or get locked out... You never know.

I just sold a UW Roller and will have to look at alternate means to ship since I don't want my buyer to have to wait until the strike is over to get his item.

 

I tend to try doing that myself, space is at a premium for most of my shelves (on average there's easily 30-40 crammed into a space about the width of your average shopping cart's bottom) so even the smallest alterations from stock stiff straight can make the footprint of one figure problematic - I.E. My ROTF Bludgeon (who due to having had the hand snap and super glue was not strong enough to restore the ability to hold the sword) has to have his giant sword shoved into the tank barrel both out of it being so soft in the rubber it's the only way to keep it straight, but also because the sword sticks out so far behind him in the hip slot it made it impossible to have him in a tightly packed display otherwise.

But I do manage some things. I have CW Buzzsaw sitting on FOC Soundwave's opposite shoulder while his left hand (thank God they molded it right) reaching for the Eject tab, while FOC Laserbeak is balanced on CW Megatron's right shoulder while his left is supposed to be making some kind of fist clenching pose (but it admittedly comes off more as fist pumping  )

I do also have on the reserved bottom shelf, where all the 'big boys' go, my original Armada Unicron holding the Gold Matrix (from the Battle in Space two-pack) in his opened left palm, while WalMart MP Skywarp is...pretty much doing the Sonic the Hedgehog finger wag  

 

it is? crap, what happened this time????

i'm hoping the components of takara's femme team is esmeral from pyra, nightbird from dustup, lyzack (coptor) from skyburst, and maybe flamewar from jumpstream, airachnid or idw swift from stormclash......

i'm also hoping they call it "grand victory"......

 

Yessssss (still need to do hip surgery though)

 

Looks nice! I can't wait for my UW Bruticus to arrive.

 

sweet!

 

Get ready for us!!

 

You call that a kick?!

Take this!!

I'll rip out your spark, fleshling lover!!

Not today

"You got the touch, you got the power! Yeah!"

 

I have several Combiner Wars sets for sale if anyone is interested. Link to my sales thread is in my signature below.

 

so if i'm correct, my perfect bruticus will have to be UW blastoff and onslaught, CW G1 swindle and vortex, G2 brawl and shockwave.......i like bright colors.....

 

That's an awesome Galvatronus.

Those are Transformers Collector's Club limbs, aren't they? Too bad. It seems like every Galvatronus limb I want aside from the Combaticons is outside my range.

That's a really cool pose.

 

Thanks, I finally got my Nonnef hands and feet and I'm having a blast with them.
