    oh lol, I was joking about future sales of MP-23 in general, but I did order two and they're both on the way. I replied to your message.

    Damn! That looks fantastic. I can practically hear Megatron saying, "It's over, Prime."

    Fantastic shots and poses. One of the best I've yet seen for SS. Gonna have to swipe that!

    TCracker, it speaks a lot to your abilities with photography and posing that you can make ho-hum figures come to glorious life and look epic doing so.

    I need to play with him more and come up with a way to have saber's arms out while in this pose. I love the Russian nested doll look for combiners like these where they fit inside one another.

    Exhaust's face actually makes him one of the more threatening looking decepticons. Plus he represents the dangers of smoking

    Planning on squeezing Apollyon in on that 'Con shelf.

    Funny thing about Star Saber was that my Mrs first words as she saw me posing him were the same as my first thoughts as I got him out....

    "That looks cheap compared to the other ones"

    Didn't even realize it was Apollyon. Thought it was CW Megatron. Still think there's some room for improvement.

    Lol if you thought that CW Megs I really think you need your eyes tested man. They don't look anything alike.

    Oooo I like that pose. Might steal it.

    Wow, dudes, thanks for the condescending remarks - assuming I don't have a good eye or that I'm a liar because I'm "rattled". The hell?

    Yes, I genuinely thought it was CW Megatron, whom I've only seen a few times a while back due to not having any interest in TFs outside of the MP line. Apollyon looks better than MP-05, but still not what I'd expect Megatron 2.0 to be. A lot of it is in the face sculpt and feet.

    Anyways, TC's pics are awesome.

    never being a fan of the jp series starsaber appears in, it just NOW occurred to me the small ship into bigger ship thing is REALLY recalling the legioss/tlead alpha figther/beta fighter from mospeada/robotech....and the colors make it a "i wanna be a gundam really badly" vibe. i guess TF must have been in a low point when the original design first came out that they had to kinda want to be other things. this design seems to have been exceuted marvelously but it speaks to en era in tf history i have no assocaition with.
