    Taking what chance? I’m in my apartment, that’s my window sill. And if you read at all, everyone is safe. I did think about it before posting and decided there’s nothing wrong with reminding people about our Firefighters.

    I’m not losing any sleep if any one likes or doesn’t like my post. Carry on with your evening.

    I'm not what you could call a "real alt mode guy", but I genuinely appreciate them. I often display my TFs in alt mode ... because "robots in disguise"

    Wow. Some of these scenes look gr at. I just recently found out about the MP line of figures, and it totally renewed my love of beast wars- my first favorite show and interest. I have already purchased all the BW MPs. What a hit to the wallet! Anyway, what are the solutions people are using for stands for these things? I don't see a lot of stands in here. I wish the dinobot stand was sold separately but takara. I ordered one off eBay from a 3rd party, but idk if it'll be tight and have the same quality as the one that came with Dinobot. Tamashaii national sh figuarts stands are too small. I see G1 Megatron on a stand in a lot of these pics, so I'm guessing that's one that he came with. That would be a nice one to buy too. Any help and links to items for purchase is appreciated. Merry Christmas to you all!

    Do mp-3 and mp-11 use the same shoulders? I’m eyeing a ghost starscream with a broken arm and wondering how easy it would be to repair

    These photos are driving me nuts. I do have MP-21 and I think he’s great.

    ...But sadly I’m a sucker for the toon-accurate design...

    I keep jumping back and forth as to if I’ll ever get an MP-45! Going kind of crazy! The only thing is...

    ...those baby arms.

    Imagine that you have long, slender legs, and your arms just barely pass your belly button. It’s an eyesore for me and I think that’s what’s ultimately stopping me, but everyone’s photos are so great! :p

    Yeah, they’re a little stubby. They look better if if you pose him in a way where they’re not just hanging down like that. He’s a great little figure, with a couple of eyesores. I love him, but mostly because I love the toon accuracy. Mp21 is a great figure too. But 45 just fits my shelf better

    What does the breakage look like? The shoulders are unchanged between the two molds. Main differences are the wings, legs and waist.

    Look up the Tamashii Nations act 3 stands that are used for the sh Figuarts line. You can tighten the screws up in the joints, and they become fairly study.

    First rate acting all around in that display shot, man! They all look alive! And you know what, I actually use Bumblebee's adjustable knees quite a bit. Sometimes creating that knee gap is necessary for a pose, like that knee gap needs to be there to give the leg enough length to be balanced in a kneeling pose. Here's what I mean (with a bonus stray cat hair)...

    Nice pics guys!

    Anybody else experiencing an issue with thread views not going to the first unread post? I often need to scroll up to see posts I haven’t read. Maybe it’s has something to do with the new iOS update and Safari, since I’ve been having this issue after updating a few days ago. Pretty annoying...

    For me it only happens on threads with lots of images. I just go back once and click again, and it snaps to the right post.
