In retrospect, Takara pumping out Dramatic Series Seekers should have been a sign that a new mold was on the way.

I wanted the helmet because Tigerhawk’s beast head is pretty bad. It’s pretty puffy and nonthreatening

What I like about this Big Convoy is that he looks big. The original toy isn’t small by any means but take away any sense of scale and he ends up looking kind of lanky, particularly in the limbs. The new Big Convoy is a Big Chungus with girders for arms and tree trunks for legs. Even the...

I'm at the point where I'm tired of incrementally upgrading the same characters over and over. The Earthrise Seeker is far from perfect but it's good enough.

looks about the same aside from the kickstand.

So many transformers don't have waist movement for various reasons that I don't count it as an essential point of articulation. Probably just me though.

I'm too far in on the Earthrise mold to start on a new one. Lots of small changes but the wrists look like the only major improvement.

Yeah. Must have had the cartoon model confused with the Unite Warriors toy where the roof was the entire chest.

Giving Blastoff the toy chest but stupid painted forehead is certainly a choice. Mold looks good though, I can fix that easy. Quickstrike looks about as you’d expect. Brawl looks great and is armed to the teeth. Wreck Gar looks good, and I prefer the garbage truck to motorcycle as an altmode...

Perceptor is like, the last character I'd want to be a blockhead.

What I’d give for a toy version with clear lenses and chest, chrome/silver and that really distinct turquoise. I can take or leave the faceplate head though.

I don’t even like the New Empire skinny Godzilla design. Why do I want to buy the heat ray pinkzilla figure?

Decided to pick up Brawn and wait for cartoon colors Seaspray. I prefer the darker blue to contrast with the yellows and whites.

Their MegaDragonzord has to be a joke.

SDCC revealed a toy collab and a comic. Toys are turtles cosplaying as monsters. Leo as Goji, Mike as Ghidorah and Raph as Rodan. No Don yet on the slides but that's inevitable.

I like how they're not clear plastic any more but, yeah, way too expensive for 3 tiny figures.

Hugging Ninja Turtles of all things have a better Godzilla collab.

when you’re feeling like you’re making lots of stupid creative decisions, remember that somebody pitched ostrich as the flight power-up and it made it all the way to release.

Reportedly, Toho’s licensing is really hard to work with but if the end result is a markup on Nemesis Grimlock and prototype Laser Optimus, I don’t know why Takara bothered.
