    I quite like the mixing of retro and vintage here. Who says you need the original Targetmasters, these look great together?! It's strange how many artificial barriers we create as adult collectors but I never would have thought to mix these two toylines.

    Thanks! I remember picking them up when they were in the shops because I liked the fact they mini triple changers, but never really got anything else from there line so just ended up joining my g1 micromasters until now. The only issue is I thought I remembered they had 5mm pegs but can only find them on one of them so the other 2 are just balanced there.

    This is awesome. I’m imagining it with “No easy way out” from Rocky IV playing:)

    I managed to score a complete Weirdwolf for $30 and a Firebolt for $5. Now I need to track down a Targetmaster Hotrod to go with Firebolt.

    I know I posted pretty recently, but I've got three of my cabinets lit up now and couldn't wait to share. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

    I'm very pleased with just how clean it looks. And I'm only six autobots away from my goal of having every season 1 and 2 autobot car boxed! I don't count Jazz as he's not an original release.

    Birthday present from my sister, for some reason I have his headmaster in the loft dont know how I ended up with him?
    Will be nice to reunite them after all this time.
    Need to custom up some heads for the thr other g1 headless headmaster bodys I've picked up over the years. 20210808_145103.jpg 20210808_144832.jpg 20210808_144847.jpg 20210808_144810.jpg

    An appetizer before the main course – all my Dinobots together, both the G1s and the G2s.

    Quick lazy HotSwipe custom from a few years ago. G1 and G2 Swipe part swaps (I really like the slightly lighter red colour differences) and a very old repro labels set (which wasnt cut properly so I had to carefully scalpel cut the sheet).

    I wonder why G1 Galvatron has not been reissued. Sounds like a no brainer to me.

    It was reissued in 2005 or so, but in a new colouration (light purple). The eHobby variant was, curiously, the original grey colourway.

    Let's take a moment to appreciate how ripped G1 Spike is.

    Those abs look like they can crunch steel.

    That purple version of the G1 mold is one of my favorite reissues ever released. I have a vintage G1 Galvatron and I still appreciate the purple reissue version more.

    Couple more G1 part-swapped customs...

    Edit: Seem to remember I called the Police Jazz "Beats", but have never settled on names for the other two.
