    Impractical, if you ask me.


    How is the Transformers: Devastation version in-real-life?

    I haven’t used Firefox for a while. Does it have a built-in VPN, or maybe a ‘feature’ of your phone :)  Try another browser if you can.

    Edit: I see you had it working with Safari

    Velocitron Hauler arrived today (after an unexpected return trip to Kapow Towers courtesy of DPD). I have to say I prefer this colour scheme to Graple, but that face - worse in person than in pictures - and (although it could be just me) the plastic quality seems much worse than Graple and Inferno, both of which felt quite substantial in hand. Hauler on the other hand feels very thin and flimsy.

    I can never tell if you're screwing with me for shits and giggles or because I have genuinely upset you at some point.

    Pretty neat, thinks he's the best looking one of the Siege mould, though this is partly due to him being the closest thing to having no battle damage. But he definitely has a nice presence.

    nah, the only user I troll is @Fort Max - he doesn't get it yet, but I never bought any Diaclone toys, all that money went to gym subscriptions and gluten-free vegan water

    It's the kind of thing I'll need to get one of those fancy acrylic boxes/cases for, because god help me if I damage this thing.

    Bravo!

    I think that mould does. I've got the 'spoiler pack' version, and it genuinely feels like the biggest figure on the shelf, even though it's not even close. It's also the CHUG Decepticon I pick up in the morning and put on the desk most often*. Megatron might be naughty, but he has charisma.

    Ah, now I know!

    I'm liking this for the effort, I strongly disapprove of the result. :) 


    *Apeface and Galvatron would round out the top three, in case you were interested**.

    **Which you almost certainly weren't.

    I have every version of this mould bar the green and white Combat Hero... Which looks shite but I'll probably buy it once it goes in the Kapow sale again.

    Decided to throw an homage to Death's Head's first outfit on his shins, using the moulded details to pick out something akin to the rather extravagant kneepads he first appeared in, as well as pick out his front bumper & headlights in Lockdown-ish fashion...
    DSC_0149.jpeg DSC_0150.jpeg DSC_0151.jpeg
    ...and now I'm sorta stuck again, I've gotten in a quandry about whether or not to do some Lockdown decals on his car mode, or just leave him as is? Sticking with mostly black does seem like it would fit having some Movie Lockdown in the amalgam, seeing as he already has the cyclops visor face option, and kinda works as an homage to DH's later post Dragons Claws outfit.
    I think this is something to sleep on, Hmmm...

    Well, I thought I could get away with only buying one SS86 Snarl...until I remembered how good he looked with his stickers on.

    Whoops.

    it's easily my most awaited figure since Galaxy Force Soundblaster. I have been waiting to recreate that duel for most of my adult life.
    WHY BILLY, WHY?
