    You're the reason I don't have a spare Kup head :p  I'll need the head back off of yours when we next meet.

    Damn, the shotgun looks great as a shoulder cannon! Does that peg in without mods? And any idea of the cost of the Metal R figures?

    I think they're not mutually exclusive. :)  The head's alright, but the toy as a whole leaves me pretty cold.

    Not really a fan of Drift. Still desperately want that PM Prime set though.

    Had chance to play with the Brawny I got from nellie131 tonight. Cracking stuff. Nice transformation and two very solid modes. Very impressed.

    [​IMG]

    Hey there, welcome! You're good to go with any of the below:

    Kapow
    Masterforce
    TFS Express

    All three ship their stock from the UK so no risk of a customs bumming. All very reliable, too.

    Haha, glad you the randomness. It was by chance, it caught my eye and thought I'll just chuck it in there!

    Whats its about Drift you don't like?

    I'm considering shifting this PM set on, I'm doing some sorting behind the scenes, ad decision making as I need to downsize, lots need to go.
    I'll let you know if you're interested.

    :thumb 

    Banjoted hit the nail on the head, see above post!

    Thats a corker of a drawing Dan :thumb 

    I really badly want a Brawny, his alt modes a Land Rover, i love Land Rovers, especially ones that transform.

    Neither. Make your own mind up when next we Pube.

    How about this Wednesday?

    Masterforce.co.uk and Kapow Toys are great places to start.

    Beautiful, mate, I am loving this spurt of productivity from you here and on Twitter.

    All the best
    Maz

    Spectacular, Dan! :bowdown: 

    Tonight I have solved the mystery of the slumping Superion, I thought his Alpha Bravo rucksack putting too much weight on the joints was why he kept sagging back against the wall.
    Turns out after some exploratory posing later, I find that it's actually one of Silverbolt's elbows being out a click that had his right thigh out of alignment. Now he once again stands squarely like a boss!

    Thanks!, I love that add on set

    No it's modded,basically just drilled a hole into handle, and decided it sat to high, to I cut off the 5mm peg and drilled a hole into sculpted handle, then you just plug it into the smokestack, the missile is from an unrelated figure

    In the price point, they haven't announced th yet, but if the first entries in the line are anything to go by, they will be around 10000¥, but who knows with bandai, here's a LINK to most of the recent bandai macross reveals, only things missing are a couple of the macross sh figuarts reveals

    Nice picture :thumb

    Transforming Land Rovers are DEFINITELY the best type. Mental that they haven't twigged that yet. All these stupid car dealerships and their stupid non-transforming cars.

    Maybe if she has (or may one day have) a daughter (or son) you could give it to them for their 18th birthday?

    Done a few cross stitch, plus bead tapestry and rug making. Cross stitch can be really therapeutic.

    Yeah, I agree. Lovely car mode, but seeing them together in 'bot mode makes me think that I'll be happy with Invisible. Looking forward to tomorrow's review though, Maz :) 

    Yay! Landies are lovely! :thumb 
    I'm tempted to get TW Aurora for the Land Rover alt mode.

    Drift has lots of articulation, but it's all awkward-looking. He really needed ankle tilts, and his shoulders and hips get in the way of lots of potential mobility. Admittedly, for the time, he was a VERY well articulated toy, but the legs prevent a lot of potentially cool poses.

    And please keep me posted if you do shift that Xovergen set. :)  Never had the cash for one when it's turned up for sale.


    This^

    Is the Pube part an open invite?

    The missile looks like G1 Inferno or similar? I might well do something similar. Thanks!

    Yeah it's infernos missile, and here is the mini tutorial I posted months ago, not that you need it :D 



    So you cut off the 5mm peg and drill a roughly 4mm hole the same place you cut off the 5mm peg, then you plug it in to the smokestack to the side of primes head

    Hope this helps!
