Just ordered Crystal Ball off Pulse.
We never had him as kids, and from what i recall his original figure was kind of lame, but this new figure looks absolutely awesome, LOVE the mask and clear accessories.
-ZacWilliam, between this guy and Raptor they really are hitting the "Lame" Cobras out...
You could get away with a Leader sized Marvel Comics style Thunderwing based just on his shell I admit. It's mostly the dream of keeping his toy inner-robot too that makes me want to push it to Commander.
-ZacWilliam, it's about the only case I can imagine Hasbro actually replicating the...
We are Prima
We are Prime Nova
We are Sentinel Prime
We are Optimus Prime
We are THUNDERWING
I'll be honest, in my brain "Prime Nova" as it is in original G1 is a different thing than Nova Prime. I just never liked how they normalized/boring-ized that name in IDW.
I would suggest that...
My Father's business really took off roughly 1985 and my Dad loves buying people presents and loves collecting things. So... while I don't think there's any year of G1 that I had ALL the toys of, after 1984 I pretty definitely had the majority of each year, especially the bigger guys.
Now all...
I had to look back and was surprised this tangent didn't start with a Crystal Ball reference since he's up for order this week.
-ZacWilliam, I mean G.I.Joe IS getting a very big Stephen King crossover. if Owen had been slightly more into TFs in the 80s instead that probably would be us getting...
On the one hand I care about the cassettes enough that I want to buy the Percy set just for Ramhorn. On the other I still havnt gotten around to getting Twincast to get a Rewind and I love Rewind way more than Ramhorn.
-ZacWilliam, I usually love rhinos as animals but for whatever reason I...
I'm still waiting for us to get Princesses of Power inspired figures for the She Ra characters. Those are the ones I want to own.
-ZacWilliam, I'd honestly settle for a figure like this but with the pants from that show honestly. I'd accept that as close enough.
It's funny, Carnivac is the only Pretender Beast me and my brother didn't have as kids, so I would expect him to be less interesting to me but the fact that he had a good sized Comic Book roll flips him around to the most desired.
ZacWilliam, Catilla is number two because he was the one of the...
A lot of people have wished the Headmaster gimmick was removed and I absolutely DO NOT get it. It's an EXTRA play feature. It's more toy and better IMO. Heck I'd rather Headmasters were added to every toy ever than taken away from a toy that already had it.
I wish that toy didn't light up, or...
Carnivac and Survivor look AWESOME to me. It really captures the feel of the original, looks great, and hey I was wondering if we'd ever get any Pretender Beast updates at all.
He's the number one thing I want out of everything shown. (The awesome looking Onyx is number two.)
-ZacWilliam, Now...
So far the packages I've seen are split between:
Desert World - Galvatron, Scorponok
City World - Bumblebee
Jungle World - Grimlock, Snarl, MegaBull
Sea World - Skybyte, Elita 1
-ZacWilliam, I kinda wish they'd previewed the first 5 minute episode. Intriguing/fun fiction can sell me on a LOT.
Because an 86 toy version would absolutely had stickers there to cover the screw holes.
I like that they made up at least some basic stickers for her (shoulders, belly, feet, maybe headlights) it makes her feel more Authentic to a 1986 toy.
-ZacWilliam, I have to imagine if she really happened...
The Thunderhawk and Switchblade had to happen. They are the "Face of the brand". I kinda wish they had waited on the Rhino because of its size/likely Price. But I do get why they went there it is easily the third "face of the brand."
Condor isn't as iconic but it's one of the best small/cheep...
I never had Scare Glow as a kid but I wanted to. Don't think I ever saw him in person just in catalogues and mini comics and the like. The Skeleton look and Glow in the Dark gimmick were a big part of that but also was the phrase "Evil Ghost of Skeletor" and the ambiguity in it. In the mini...
It depends how much remolding you want to allow. I don't think it'd be impossible to get a RB Blades out of a Protectobot Blades if you figure on remolding the whole front of the copter. Their pieces all end up in roughly the same places.
-ZacWilliam, the weirdest part of that would be making...
Got the notification this morning that my Origins Rio Blast is shipping. That's one of the last of my favorites from childhood I'm missing an Origins for.
-ZacWilliam, wishing I hadn't missed Sy-Clone
Steeljaw was Starscream if he was as intelligent, competent and dangerous as he thinks he is.
Best new Decepticon in RiD easy. (And there were a lot of them.) He totally deserves a good toy.
-ZacWilliam, I'd like Generations toys of a lot of RiD bots but Steeljaw is pretty much top of that list.
As long as everyone is within one size class of right I can deal with it.
-ZacWilliam, the Terrans aren't great scale wise but they're close enough that it doesn't bother me.
