    Absolute scenes at Amazon UK... those are £2 higher than they should be and from the EU with much later dates than normal. Which is all kinds of strange currently... ordered them as curious safety options. They've other standard figures like Hordak but at 20 quid they can do one.

    He isn't fuelled by the ongoing massacre of innocent Ribenaberries either, so one can forgive him being made out of metal and hate. :) 

    Probably the same way Optimus pulled off so successfully and for so long! :) 

    Here we see him in his disguise, accepted unquestioningly by the Decepticons' fiercest and most brutal warriors.

    (It was the same in the New Mayhems, too, except half of them shelfdived when I put Barbie Prime back to take a picture so they can do one, the clots. :p )

    Ooooh! Netflix Sandman cast is dropping on the Twatters, intrigued by the diverse casting and if we'll see any meltdowning because of it, I actually quite dig the idea of Cain and Abel being played by fellas of mid-eastern extraction but they'd better be festooned with the fabulous wolverine-ish hairstyles, by Jove! Tom Sturridge, I am not afmiliar with any of his acting work that I can recall but he strikes me as a bit of a Woody Allen-y casting of a posh Brit actor what looks like an idealised Neil Gaiman for the very Self-Insert lead. *Yawn* Definitely disappointing after Joseph Gordon-Levitt was circling the role for so long.
    Gwendolyn Christie as Lucifer though?

    Got a message this morning saying Hot Toys Nebula is en route :) 

    Whilst checking my other pre-orders I discovered I actually cancelled my order for Revoltech Cable around the time I dropped a few things when anticipating possible ongoing vet costs for Oreo.

    C&C still have some in stock but I've got quite a few other invoices imminent so I'll give it a miss and to be honest I'm not entirely sure Revoltechs and my patience levels are a good match so waiting to see if there's a MAFEX Cable with the same costume might well turn out to be a better move.

    I watched a review of Newage Galvatron earlier and was suitably impressed. Definitely amongst my next robots I plan on ordering.

    Still extremely excited for SS '86 Hot Rod. This'll be the 2nd year running a toy of a character that's nowhere near my top 5 will likely be among my favourites.

    Super 7 Ultimate Starscream (that'll be at least £50 I'd think), and in hand Inferno. No, not that video your dad had in the wardrobe, red Grapple. Oh, FFS. Look, you know who I mean...

    Inferno is looking fantastic, might end up buying him AND Dinobot together.

    So, um, I just ordered POTP Sinnertwin and Cutthroat from Bubble and Squeak Toys. Guess I'm going to have to track down a Hun-Gurrr at some point soon as well.

    And I now have a GvK Kong Monsterarts figure on pre-order from Kapow.

    T'was thinking that myself. Tilda did a good turn as Gabriel in Constantine, she would make for a good devil!

    Kid to bed on time, quick bit of work to go and then hopefully I’ll get to gaze at the goodies obtained from @AllSpark Ferret

    Super psyched to get my hands on a proper Windblade.

    Isn’t SS86 Scourge supposed to be hitting anytime soon? I’m sure my pre-order initially said February, but now Zavvi is saying......

    77680171-28B3-4D67-B1D5-851543F8599A.jpeg

    30th April?? Say what? I bet he’ll have hit Smyths long before that surely?

    He's April at BBTS for what that's worth. Maybe a deluxes first then voyagers later deal?

    Edit: Confirmed - going to @Fort Max (assuming price is right) - Had to check post history as I've got a memory like a sieve :oops: .

    Fingers crossed it's actually happening, as the charge is visible on my card :) .

    I decided I'd rather have the option to replace than having to hunt the older versions down once they become more desirable.

    I was all set on a reasonably priced Waspinator but then the deal fell through (seller claimed he couldn't find the figure :( ).

    So I guess it's the new version Waspy for me!

    Shattered Glass Op and Minty Ratchet dispatched from ID - so I'll see that about weds/Thurs next week if lucky.

    I like the T30 Beasts - Waspy and Rhinox look great but agree with m'learned @barry that they aren't all that well articulated by current standards, so if "better" versions are due I suppose I will end up swapping out.

    I got the same email. We'll see eh?

    It's too much to ask that 'Classic' X-Men will finally give us the bloody Cyclops that only came with Jean Grey in the outrageously priced box set isn't it? AOA my arse.

    I feel like one of the only people in the world more interested in the TV version than the comic. Read the first few issues but didn't care for the art OR Gaiman's tweeness. Went back later on to see what I missed and some of the later stuff was better but still a bit too....Alan Moore for nice middle class goth girls who like ponies FAR too much.

    VERY happy about Christie as Lucifer - for...'reasons'...and particularly Baskar and Chaudhry as Cain and Abel, as it makes sense that the sons of the first humans wouldn't be white and they're both more than capable of doing a great job in those roles. Don't know the others though. I just hope it's more entertaining than the Locke And Key series.

    Speaking of comics on telly, check out the first episode of Resident Alien starring Alan Tudyk - it's on Sky One and very entertaining and enjoyable. Likable characters - particularly the sheriff and his deputy - and a very amusing central performance. Wasn't too fussed by the comic but it comes off SO much better on TV. Get on it!
