This conversation reminded me that my favourite depiction of G1 Wheeljack was actually from the Dr. Smoov youtube videos.

Dr. Smoov is still canon to me.
Not the fact that he linked a 3 year old thread consisting entirely of posts by him and him alone with no actual content beyond links to things other people made?
"WHY DON'T YOU POST ABOUT KISS PLAYERS IN THIS THREAD ABOUT SEX?"
Because the stuff I actually like from Kiss Players has nothing to do with the sex stuff, you weirdo. I just think Sundor, Rosanna, Glit, and the BT mould decos are neat.

I still want the mini Autorooper. I hear it's terrible.
It's kind of an iguess.jpg moment, huh.
It’s the Big Boys Toys at Greenhills. IIRC it was the three main toys but I didn’t get prices or look closer because I don’t really care. But yeah, they have Takara TF Prime toys at full price, Gentei Coneheads set at ₱12k and Maketoys 3P Devastator still at ₱20k so I’m not expecting good prices.
I’m offended that it’s this particular dude with the gall to suggest proper threads to post jive

I mean, I'm like that for all bayformer stuff, but I know I lost that argument a long, long time ago.
The original toy is good but the smaller one isn't great.
However, the way Atari goes "inside" a larger one and the way a smaller one goes "inside" her is quite disturbing (including the illustration at TFWiki for the former)...

Lol I figured as much. It makes sense that this didn't ring a bell as I haven't been in there in years, largely because of pricewanking like that and to a lesser extent that period where they tried to implement a bag check because SURELY everyone wanted to steal their precious unsellable merch. It serves a nice (likely) unintended side purpose as a museum of sorts, mostly because they've compiled and held on to years and years of stuff that they just never seemed to want to price to move.
I do think I remember seeing someone with a better priced Rodimus/Shaoshao on Marketplace. That might be my best shot at re-completing my copy (sadly, buying an actual complete copy). But I don't really have room for two Rodismooches.
Alas, I must continue to seek the Autorooper elsewhere.
What the hell kind of fandom experience is that, even. It's not even just reductive, it's shallow. The Bay movies are about the military. Kiss Players is about sex. Cyberworld is about vidya gaems. "About" used to mean something.
At least it let me get a shot at some of the Arms Micron kits.
Ha, yes, I also managed to get a couple of the figure/micron packs just before the pandemic at one of their "now slightly LESS overpriced!!!" sales.
Again, a dubiously intentional side effect of them ending up the only place to find things years later because they typically priced them like they refused to let them go. Kiss Players stuff still being there now is yet more evidence of that.
(This was also before the resurgence in local specialty stores at the turn of the decade. The 2000s and 2010s were comparatively quite rough times, which I suppose strengthened their feeling that they were dealing, and pricing, from a position of strength as the only game in town. These were people who overpriced loose Kreons.)

So, the "leaked" Scooby Doo collab, are we thinking it's going to be a remold of Freakwency? Just watched TJOmega's review of that one and it seems pretty solid, I'm just not attached enough to that vehicle.
That's what I'm assuming, as the van mold seems a decent enough fit and there's already a provision for a cassette/8-track. Some cosmetic retooling and a new head, and a new cassette, would be a good way to reuse that mold.
Then again, idk if they tend to reuse Collaborative molds across different brand collabs.
