I rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaallly need to get Captain Modesty too. I put it off hoping for either a 3P or Shapeways kit to fill in his hollow bits or one of the rumoured 3P versions to actually be real but neither of those things happened and now he's twice the price. Grrrrr.

 

I believe you'll have to fight off Dara O'Brian for her - he famously has a crush on her.

 

Commander Modesty! Any ignoramus should surely recognise the sheer superior elegance and might of Sky Lynx ill befits the rank of a mere Captain! Lieutenant Commander at that (and you can bet he pronounces it the proper British way of Lef-tenant), Rank 9, don't you know!

 

All this Blue Peter talk and not one mention of Katy Hill?

Shame on you lot  

 

@Seeaich Check your email? I've just had the dispatch mail from Kapow. Says it'll arrive Thursday. Huzzah!

 

Isn’t Konnie Huq with Charlie Brooker now? I mean, I could Google it, but who has time for that when you need to discuss Blue Peter presenters on a Transformers site?!  
I love Charlie Brooker! His articles in the Guardian and his Screen Wipe TV show we’re awesome! And now he’s gone and done Black Mirror! I can’t really begrudge the guy stealing Konnie away from you lot!

 

Maybe, I'm sure they'll get around to me soon. I actually had mmc tyranatron arrive today, and a few tfcc figures due on Thursday so that'll keep me ticking over until then.

Dammit Imperator, you've made me want that which we will never get.

Do tell!

*frantically check inbox* dammit. Whatever. I'm cool. Pffft.

 

Definitely Konnie Huq!

 

There's a gap in the torso that kinda sorta looks like it could work as an open door of a dropship with a little platform for figures to stand (Look at the figure from the side in robot mode and you should see the area I'm on about) so I got to wondering whether Dianauts could be put there. This may yet prove to be not the case but it looked plausible enough in the early hours of the morning when I watched the review so I'll give it a shot when my figure arrives.

It's not usually the kind of thing I'd notice but after looking at all the little things @Seeaich has done to get the absolute most from Fort Max it's opened my eyes to such possibilities with other figures.

 

Yeah, much to Daragh O'Briain's annoyance. The panel on Mock The Week got a few shows' worth of mileage out of his crush on her.

 

I have indeed, with the same ETA too! Cheers, bud!  

Current Mood:


And this time I didn't even have to send a grovelingly apologetic email for jumping the gun!
(Sorry, @MyTea Boc!)

Janet Ellis for me too. Konnie fell on that "Too Plummy" RP Sloane-y side for my taste that a lot of the BP ladies also had, Miss Ellis might've had the equal amount of plum but she had that twinkle. Honourable mention for Katy Hill.
Never got the appeal of Michaela Strachan either?
Spoiled for UK telly ladies by early exposure to Erin Gray and Julie Newmar's Catwoman maybe?

 

She was really wild... 

Jenny Powell from Ghost Train was the queen. Screw all this Blue Peter lark  

 

I've always like Yvette Fielding, but I am notoriously wrong. I can't go for Janet Ellis since I've had a thing for Sophie Ellis-Bextor since I was 18...

What are the chances of a voyager Shockwave being in the new WfC line? He already has a Cybetron mode so would be a perfect fit!

Also, I like Michaela Strachan. She's very professional.

 

Sorry to butt into your actress conversation, but are there any accessories for TF figures on thingiverse? A friend just got a new 3D printer and I might have to ask him to print things if possible.

 

That impulse buy from a few weeks ago was opened this evening... I didn't really want it and have no need for a transforming Cybertron but I must admit the figure is kinda charming.
Shame the articulation is a little bit gimped

Actually, dammit, you're right, Liam! Miss Powell was a bullseye for Wee Chris's libidinal development!
I'd been wracking my brain because I can't think of many female kids TV presenters I did actually fancy, and I could only think of the tragic Charlotte Coleman who I had a crush on since Marmalade Atkins but of course OBVIOUSLY Jenny Powell!!!
Yvette Fielding seemed like fun company but not "sexy" to wee me.
I'm sure there're more I'm forgetting, throw some 80s kids tv Icons at me lads, I can't remember 'em!

Too young for Janet Ellis, too old for Sophie Ellis-Bextor* may as well accept my own perviness and fancy 'em BOTH!

* = Only two years, mind, but as an older brother dating down-age seemed weird, even if not the full five-ish (4 3/4) years between us, when she debuted as a public figure she'd have been, what, about 18/19 and me 20/21 still trying to believe/convince myself I'm an actual adult, and teenagers are kids aren't they? So of course my first serious relationship was with a woman younger than my sister, D'oh!

 

Ooh, pretty. Here's hoping for some heavily discounted Primuses (Primusi? Primii?) in the not too distant future. I kind of regret getting rid of the original.

I am the same age as Sophie. Clearly it was meant to be!

(Before her, I think it was Clare Grogan in her VH1 days & Melissa Joan Hart in her Clarissa Explains It All days. I'm clearly part of the MTV generation.)

 

I have a Trailbreaker forcefield and replacement G1 ravage missiles up on my Thingiverse page, there are some guns and combiner wars bits on there as well - have a search around.

Also - a bit of a different generation, but Kate Humble is my cup of tea - My Dad also goes to ex-IBMer lunches with her dad too...
...and Susie Dent while we're on thinking mans totty...
