Studio Series discussion

[Andrusi]

I have an accidental Deluxe Hound collection featuring Universe (2008) Deluxe Hound, Botcon Sgt. Hound, CW Hound, and Siege Hound, and I also have Selects Cybertron Defense Hot Shot, Legacy Detritus, Legacy Orion Pax (The One Who's Relevant), and AOTP Fisitron, so now I'm going to have to fight off both Dinobot Syndrome and Inverse Dinobot Syndrome.

I’m normally okay with the opaque windows but i dunno, something about the windshield being so thin and that we can see the other side on a jeep makes me weirded out the painted windshield.

That and the somewhat desaturated green convince me to wait for a toy deco, or at least one with a deeper shade of green.

MTMTE Hound is up for preorder on Target, presumably Pulse later. On a plus side, retail is $24.99 AND is getting the “20% Transformers” sale discount going on this week.

I don’t know…I think I kind of like a toy deco version of him more…

I need to keep an eye on Target and Pulse for the next little bit, he's already (or just currently?) sold out at Target.

Yeah, i missed him too. seems to have gone pretty quick so hopefully he'll pop back up at some point.

They should consult hank hill.

Looks like Scourge was just announced as the next figure. I get that it’s the MTME collection and it’s movie figures, but with all the re releases coming out TR Missfire would be a great figure to put back out on the shelf.

Then he wouldn't be true to his name.

I've never seen TR Misfire, Slugslinger, or Twin Twist in person. I'm still not convinced that they exist at all and the Internet isn't just gaslighting me about it.

No, no (snickers). We all TOTALLY have them! (barely stifles laughter.)

Whoever came up with the idea of having them all be minor tweaks of each other was brilliant. I can barely use GIMP, but I can still manage this:

Got Thundercracker. Got the "i think it's a smile?" face. Honestly would have preferred grumpy Thundercracker.
Really interesting transformation and about as clean as it gets, but it sure is a G1 seeker.

Is his head on an easily-removable balljoint? Might end up switching heads with Skywarp down the road.

I think I eventually want to get the set of 3 OGs, but I've been wondering if it's worth gambling on TC being available enough that he might be cheaper later. But maybe Seekers are too popular for that. (Also hoping none of the trio ends up only released as part of a set or something).

I go back and forth on it. There are shots and angles of the new Seeker that highlight how dynamic it can look. And it does have a few things on the Earthrise Seeker mold.

But so much of what I see of it brings me back to the Robotmasters Seeker, and not in a really good way. And yeah, that headsculpt is not helping.

I'd be open to a Sunstorm, etc, as I'm not super into the work of getting the main six all over again. But idk, if they keep using the older sculpt for such redecos, I wouldn't be mad.

 

[Steamed Hams]

They've got to reissue Cyclonus at some point.

 

[lastmaximal]

Surprised he isn't yet alongside the apparent straight reissue Scourge. But I'd rather a redeco that hews closer to the Unite Warriors colors.

Listings for Studio Series '86 Voyager Cyclonus were found last year, so we're getting him at some point this year.

Alright folks, they're coming. Slowly. I first found these; so far we only got 4 Leader listings, but this is likely going to change in a while. I'll...

Head swapping should not be difficult. I just do not care for this particular expression. I'd rather a neutral or even a frown.

I get reissuing Scourge since he was impossible to find. But Cyclonus? He wasn't so rare.
