    For fun of sharing your passion for 3rd parties that you own right now, share THE transformer of the Day or Moment or the Week or the Month, whatever brings that SMILE on your face RIGHT NOW.

    Can be new or old, and can change every day if you want, and can be more than one, it doesnt matter.

    IMPORTANT: I want you to smile and feel that calm / happiness when you think about your choice.


    ** My TF of the Moment: Newage Sludge COMIC version.**

    For long, i avoided getting it for a while, $$$ / Double Dipping / missing Red Eyes / blah blah blah, but boy of boy does he bring that big smile on my face, just a stunner by itself at my work desk right now ;) .

    Fugu Jetfire. The figure I wanted for 2 decades, finally realized.

    Mine is Newage Gorgo EXR. It covers all the bases, great sculpt in both modes, easy/fun transformation, and the deco is soooo beautiful, I can't stop staring at it. Build quality and paint are top notch and the tolerances are perfect. It's a grand slam. I haven't been this enamored with a figure in a long time.

    Making a custom Glyph from KBB Hornet Agent. The paint should be coming soon.
    Fun fact that when I twisted the original's head off slowly, the face and head part just exploded. It was gruesome.

    Just fiddling with Monocrat by Megatank' (or is it the other way around). Very nice toy, and so inexpensive.

    zero heft

    zero heroic proportions

    zero oily paint



    100% the best 3P figure I’ve ever owned so far.

    I thought Ethereon was going to be my figure of the year but truly, the fact that MS has entered the MP fight has really made me much more excited about collecting.

    MakeToys The Fallen. (I can't remember the ridiculous name they actually call it.)

    Nice and sturdy and looks pretty good next to current figures.

    Currently infatuated with StarToy Blitzwing (2.0 paint scheme). Very impressed. Loved the designer’s Prime, Megatron (DX9’s mightron), and Mirage. Blitzwing is equally impressive

    Snagged a Magic Square sealed cartoon Soundwave 2-weeks ago. First sealed one online there's a record of in the last 2-years at eBay, Mercari, and Ali Express.

    Was an absurdly low price due to the seller not having any idea what he was selling. Messaged him and told him about his mistakes and what this actually was. He thanked me for being honest. He tried to cancel the auction and couldn't. Gave me his blessing to bid. Got it for $76. Have been smiling quite a bit. One of my favorite MS figures.

    Not 3P but I pulled Hot Wheels Optimus out of the display case this morning and fiddled with him and it made me happy. As for 3P, probably the Pangu osko of MS-02 - I see him every morning surrounded by figures from other 80s cartoons and it always makes me happy.

    Look at you being all ethical and stuff! Good man.

    I've been playing with Fugu model Jetfire all weekend.
    But I still also love that I was able to do this: 1000008043.jpg

    Pure 80s goodness. If only there was a cartoon crossover with all the characters in your pic. Oh wait... there is.



    Watching that is like being on acid and shrooms. :D

    That MS MP brawl is utterly fantastic. Robot mode is amazing, so much articulation. The best hands I've encountered on an MP scale figure Also incredibly pleased it came with a foot. Such a great value for $115.

    It's been inspiring me to push myself on my 3d design work. I'm still plugging away working on a non transforming tank mode to plug into that foot. I'm almost ready to start some test prints.

    IMG20240929175252.jpg

    Once that's done, I'm going to be studying those hands, and trying to reverse engineer those for another project.

    I can't wait for the rest of the team.

    MS 3 Brawl. He's not perfect, but I like the toy foot, the transformation, and the articulation. Can't wait for Swindle. When I first saw this, I thought it was another recolor of legends Bruticus.

    Of the Moment is Moon Studio Ice Land (Trainbot Yukikaze). Today is my nephew's 3rd birthday and he LOVES trains so I got Ice Land out in train mode and let him drive him around. The look on his face when he saw the "big train" was amazing.

    I look forward to watching that later then.

    Chaos Paladin I believe, in case anyone wants to Google him.

    I am glad you like it! That means more money for MS and also for UT / DX9 to make Bayformers and a bit more stylized G1 stuff for me!

    Right now i’m enjoying FT Gehry. Could be recency bias or the fact that the Constructicons have always been my favourite G1 Decepticons but this figure is great imo and I can’t stop messing with it!
