    Tempted by the fanstoys fortress for obvious reasons but who knows how that's going to turn out. o_O 

    Also, slag is an absolute winner, buy, buy, buy!

    The entire wave sans BAF parts unfortunately, I'll post again once I have them all to hand as then I can ship out to people more quickly.

    I'll try to remember your interest in JJ though :)

    I'd like Miles and Integrated Spidey if no one's called dibs on them yet.
    EDIT: Maybe Strange too.

    I would be happy just with the head, if it was compatible with TR Fortressplex

    Good job on installing the kit, but I spent much of the post being amused by Optimus looking like he's having the time of his life :lolol 
    "Higher Fortress, higher!"

    Lol :lol 

    Hahah, I guess old habits die hard! :D 

    Given the scale, wouldn't that give him a rather bobblehead look? :D  Not that I'm complaining, that'd be hilarious :lol 


    ...

    One for the Marvel Legend Squad: Does anyone know of some casually dressed figures that fit in and can fit ML heads' balljoint sockets? I'd quite like to have a figure to put my Spider-Gwen's unmasked head on - and maybe Silk though less fussed - but I know for certain that the retro cartoon Gwen does not suit Spider-Gwen. Something with like a band t-shirt or something would be perfect for her ^^

    ...

    I'm also continuing to greatly enjoy Cygnus... seriously considering using my OmegaLock refund on the Dark Cygnus version :D

    I’m in for all three kits next month. Can’t wait!!!

    Sandman looks like Sandman. This is a good start. I feel like I may enjoy it more in live action than comic form, unlike Y: The Last Man....

    I will always maintain that people who buy any old tat are contributing directly to the bad distribution and iffy quality products out there. If no-one bought that crap there’d be less lines to push so we’d only end up with the good stuff.

    Some absolute balloon on Twatter said that there’s nothing wrong with the design, it’s a lack of skill that’s the problem. I wish I could have stepped on his face through the screen. Dickhead.

    Personally I have to say that compared to Grimlock Slag has more issues, BUT, you KNOW you need all’a dem dinos. :D 

    Yesterday was a total writeoff for me. Ate four YumYums at half two and went into a sugar coma until this morning :(

    @Knightdramon - re: SS86 Slag

    Add me to the list of those that think SS86 Slag is a great figure. The pros outweigh the cons. Despite some irritating aspects that have been mentioned by others, they are far from being a deal breaker.

    I was thinking this the other day but given FT Fort Max is going to be 40-50 inches tall, that Cerebros head is going to be rather oversized on the TR Maxy.

    Haha - thanks. That one screw was a royal pain in the arse. I thought I might have to force it out and potentially damage the original upper thigh section. Fortunately perseverance paid off.

    Nobody noticed Arcee giving Slag a cheeky tug of his horn ;) :D  and his face says it all:

    I’ve got Core Optimus now nestled in Max left hand.

    My intention was to try posing Scorpy with his longer legs and ended up doing more with Max:

    Batting practice below - Scorpy is bowling

    Catching practice:

    @Ottertron - I might get one more Scorpy kit but when you total all three they exceed what I paid for Scorpy. I do like all of the sets but that is some serious outlay on top of the figure. Will look forward to your pics when you have them all installed.

    Ha, a lack of skill. He's possibly forgetting how long it took him to get that bastard mold into shape! Either that or he's the 'Well, my copy is fine' sort of a berk.
