There's just something about that Devastator that makes it so much nicer than the G2 Dev...and it could be as simple as seeing rubsigns on it, just like the rubsigns on the Red Tracks make it...special All the best Maz

This week's offering explores the value of toy paperwork. Hopefully what can usually be seen as a topic less interesting than the toys themselves is spiced up a bit by some of the more interesting literature we've seen released with toys globally: Who Cares About Paperwork? | TF Source News < - CLICK TO READ All the best Maz
I think a favorite that was left out (as a photo anyways) was the collector cards that came in the Japanese releases.
Yeah I'd already done a bit on that in the first article. There are plenty more important things left out, I hope to gather more significant material for a second part at some point in the future. But yeah, featured the cards in the first article I did for Curt: Japanese Transformers 1985 – 1987 | TF Source News All the best Maz
Hi guys, I wanted to give my light tent and lamps a good run out so I picked up a variety of toys to photograph with the new equipment, see if I can improve my article photography. Here are a few of the highlights, but I notice that unlike before when I was taking photos by the window, some of the feet of the robots are out of focus, almost as if the depth of focus has reduced for some reason despite me using the same settings on the camera. Could it be that I need to lower the lamps a little? Anyway here we go: 1) Diaclone Black Honda City Turbo (Skids) 2) Human Alliance Sideswipe 3) Masterpiece Grimlock MP-08 4) Mexican Black Prowl: 5) Mexican Smokescreen/Bluestreak hybrid 6) Euro post-MB Starscream (hard nose, black wheels - source of Mexican mould) 7) Human Alliance Barricade 8) Joustra Diaclone Corvette 9) Mexican Iga Ramjet (hard nose, black wheels, metallic wing finish) Thanks for looking All the best Maz
