G1 Cartoon Deceptions nearly Done!


The gangs all here!

 

If we're being honest, this is the real Prime Wars trilogy (of the shelves):



It's a tight race, but I'd say Leader Prime is having a good go at giving the others a run for their sleek, non-included-super-mode money...

 

It blows me away that not one, not two, but three of the best Optimus toys in years all got released within months of each other. And we still have that Armada Prime to look forward to down the line. And Galaxy Upgrade Prime is the MVP of my trio.

 

My collection is at war with itself:

Both literally and figuratively. By which I mean that my Decepticons are a mix of more expensive figures while my Autobots are mostly Siege now. I think Siege Optimus might still be my favorite figure in recent memory, in spite of other bigger and supposedly better figures that I've gotten over the past couple of years. He's such a great, expressive action figure that I dida 180 with my collection habits and am now mostly collecting Siege.

 

We really are spoilt for good Optimi now!! It shows how much Hasbro has been holding out on us.

Hopefully it continues on this track and we don't slide back to the dark days of the early 2010's.

 

This so much, I currently have the 3 Primes in an upper shelf in my desk. I'm just glad I got back into collecting in time to get these awesome figures.

 

I read that in Emgo's Prime voice cause Emgo's version of Prime would totally do that.

 

And after that he’d get pizza bagels.

 

Lovely stuff.

 

Just got Chromia and Pteraxadon today as well as preordered Impactor and Jetfire through Pulse. Chromia's legs are super loose and she's kibble-city but It's nice to have her to go with Ironhide. It's also nice to have Pteraxadon to go with Prowl, I have a feeling in the comics something will happen to his pet Pteranadon and he'll end up finding Preraxadon to replace it. I'm really looking forward to Jetfire and Impactor looks great minus the gappy legs but It's not too bad.

 

Its been a while...

 

Under Siege by daikaiju!  



However, this city fights back!

 

These just arrived this week in Peru.

Some scalpers have the Ironhide/Prowl/Chromia/Sixgun figures, but my contact said he will have more in 10 days at a reasonable price. Sadly, I am told that there are no plans to import the Spy Patrol. I guess that I need to find a third party to send it or otherwise bring them.

I haven't even had a chance to open them. I want to apply a shoe polish wash tomorrow to get the greeble to really pop! I love how my Magnus came out and I know it will look just as good on these two.

 

Three completely different characters!  

 

Yup....gotta have three.

 

I regret my post from 15 minutes ago. Just look at those shoulder pads!

 

Those are some nice shoulder pads!
