    I love the sideswipe mold, and awaiting the kingdom one even more, but personally I hope they leave it at Sideswipe and Redalert at least for a year or two, the kingdom remold is already similar to the siege one and that was done to death, even as selects, I hope they use the slots for otherbots....

    That said I do want to see some 90s euro transformers like the turbo masters, they would be perfect, but maybe they can create a new mold to do the 4-5 bots that could get out of it....thinking Decepticons like rage etc.

    With potentially Skids comming and the Stunticons in legacy hopefully we'll have plenty of selects opportunities.

    Just finished watching the final series of "Man Down".

    Sooooo bloody funny especially the christening episode and the final one :D :D :D :D 

    Bought a Basic Bret Hart for £13 shipped off ebay so I can swap the headsculpt onto the WCW Bret I got in the pack with Goldberg.

    It's the same sculpt as the Attitude Era Bret released in the Defining Moments line which shares the body mould so I know it'll fit OK.

    Trying to find somewhere to pre-order Ultimate Edition Kane & Undertaker after their reveal and may just wait for Ringside Collectibles.

    There's now actual proto pics of the next Mattel Bret Hart,
    Bret Hart - WWE Elite Survivor Series 2021 WWE Toy Wrestling Action Figure by Mattel! (ringsidecollectibles.com)
    One of the goofy smiling faces again :rolleyes: 

    And a very cartoony looking Hogan,
    Hulk Hogan - WWE Elite Survivor Series 2021 WWE Toy Wrestling Action Figure by Mattel! (ringsidecollectibles.com)

    All they need to do for a decent 80's Hogan sculpt is shorten the 'tache and lose the stubble on the different heads from the Ultimate Edition Hollywood Hogan.

    :lol :lol :lol  Bravo! Very glad that tape was found, and that modern technology allowed recovery of the data. Thought I'd never hear that tune again! Can't keep 'em down, indeed. :thumb :thumb :thumb 

    (Today's Internet has definitely been won.)

    Oh I totally remember that tune! I think I must have been a little young when it aired. Maybe my older brother was into it.

    So Tyrannosaurcerer leads some skeletal dinosaurs against Dynomight and his living dinosaurs, who also ride giant dinosaurs? is that right? And Leo Rex is Dynomight's side kick?

    Quick question for the Kings of Customisation, if you don't mind: am planning on repurposing Netflix Ironhide & Deep Cover as Shattered Glass Evil Autobots. Toyhax will sort their badges, but was wondering how best to make their eyes red; is there some sort of fine marker pen that would work (the Molotow chrome pen worked very well for me, but I don't think they do a red one), or would I be better off buying some paint?

    I personally would suggest something like the Gundam markers, but the pros will probably have a better solution. I use them for quick and dirty jobs like colouring in the shoulder parts on the Siege Sideswipe mold.

    Cool, thanks! Had thought of cutting "eyes" from red stickers, but they'd need to be so small even with tweezers they might be difficult to get on. I ought to go and look in the Radicons section really! :)

    That is a nice looking Cheetor. I may have to look this one up when it gets closer to release.

    That’s a cool custom job. Very nice work.

    Is Snapdragon still available?

    Cosmos or Aileron would certainly work.

    And sold out. Damn me for being out for the weekend…

    Try BBTS, even though they are in the states, with postage, it works out the same price, roughly, as ordering from a UK retailer

    Actually Netflix DC is G2, isn’t he? They’ve palette-swapped him like Sideswipe. So his baby blues can stay that hue. Netflix IH is definitely SG IH though, so he’ll still be changing sides.
