    Hmm. Interesting reveals, but I can't help feeling that the designs are overall a little... safe? Like they lack oomph somewhat (and I include Bulkhead in this). Arcee is probably the most visually interesting of the bunch, but I feel they haven't gone quite far enough with the Gen1-trification that the face just looks odd.

    I'm still definitely down for Bulkhead and maybe kickback. I'll wait for the Scourge Repaint of laser prime.

    Black Series Khetanna - 3.75 inch scale
    Black Series Razor Crest - 3.75 inch scale
    Black Series Rancor- 6 inch scale

    £330 just doesn't seem good value for money compared to the previous two SW Haslab or even the Marvel Legend Haslab. I guess if the stretch goals are four carded 6 inch figures it might feel a bit more justified.

    I'm happy with the POTF2 version, the Beasts from that line were particularly good, Bantha and Dewback being highlights.

    It's Pulse so there's no consequence for cancelling when Wave 1 turns up everywhere else in late December rather than "1.7.2022" but that's preorders for the Lot (yes, even Bulky and Ugly Skid Joe) ........just in case*

    Laser Op looks both fantastic and hideous in one confused package. Cannot wait for Scourge/Nemi repaints.




    *The World ends and the Cockroaches see some benefit in honouring Pulse Orders.

    Funnily enough I had a browse of the Listing galleries on Pulse when I popped by in case of stealth Kingdom Wave 5 drops of Slammer & Pipes Pre-orders, and as I was perusing L Prime I suddenly recalled @Apollux telling us he was an ER Prime partial because up close it was so obvious by his legs. In his case he really does seem to be demonstrating the limitations that even the smartest re-uses can run up against, the nose of the cab is pretty much entirely Joan Collins power-dressing shoulderpads, innit?
    Arms up the back is hardly the most egregious Prime transformation cheat of modern times though, I'm pretty impressed with how well they long nosed him but not enough to displace TR/Velocitron LP.

    I'm feeling gradually more aggrieved that Toy Colours Galvy is more expensive than the Purple Candy version, it's those damned stickers, innit? They really seem to boost the expense whilst also being foily crap these days.

    I feel like the estimated ship date for the Legacy pre-orders are playing it well and truly safe to allow for delays and such and will likely change.

    Drag Strip and two Kickbacks, mostly because the site glitched on me a bunch of times and I had two of them without realising. Helps that that payment is basically due next year, so can add the money to the slush fund and forget about it for a while. It’s a very Autobot heavy preview so that helps, and just wait to see about Crankxase, Iguanus, and hopefully a Voyager Con or two

    Purple Galvy plus a stand and a bunch of mini figures... I was a bit miffed having missed out on toy colours, but this is cheaper and more lary, so even better as far as I'm concerned.
    It does also make that ravage set an even more emphatic nope for me.

    Yup, he has the common problem of his wrists oriented at the wrong angle to his elbows, though that does mean he's good at putting up his dukes. Good thing too, as the accessory he comes with is a spinny rotary blade. Fine if he wants to do some carpentry, not so much for fighting.

    Any ideas for names?

    If you stepped across the interdimensional threshold and found you'd grown a nose, you'd be smirking too. Presumably it drops off again when you step back over.

    None that come to mind right now, no :-/


    :lol  It may turn into a look of disgust depending on where you landed... especially if you had no sense of smell before and freak out! :D
