That's supposed to be Optimus's job! 😆

I don't think there's anything wrong with you at all. I think it's a combination of lighting, slightly asymmetrical sculpting, posing, and camera angle. My primary lighting was more from the right than head on. You can see more shadow in his abs on the right side of the picture. The sculpted...

He was the first Cybertronian to ever learn to write. They hadn't figured out proper technique yet. And you know how old people are about learning new skills...

It's the angle of the picture. From straight on, you can see it's centered.

I had the exact same problem. Most current instructions include a one-time unboxing steps section, but it's inconsistent how complete they are. This one didn't show anything about reconfiguring the shield. It was a little while before I realized it had multiple configurations beyond just...

In the picture I posted above, the order is: iGear Delicate Warrior Thrilling 30 Titans Return Earthrise SS86 So comparing the 2nd and 5th figures there, you can basically draw a line that runs through the elbows and along the bottom of her chest plate. Basically, everything above that line...

I'm really looking forward to replacing Delicate Warrior with Missing Link for my G1 Arcee.

All these newfangled toys with their fake kibble alongside real kibble. Back in my day, the alt mode parts became the robot mode parts! Does PMOP count?

Good to know about the 6" figures. I don't think I'm a big enough Tron fan to use up money and space I don't have on them, but they certainly look a lot more tempting. On the HasLab pricing though, unless I'm missing something in the set, I think your math's off. $40 feels ludicrous to me for a...

Random thought of the day: Looking at Horri-Bull's pointy teeth and Tantrum's place in the Predacons, it's clear some poor Hasbro designer in the '80s had an unfortunate fear of having their steak turn the dinner tables on them.

I could've sworn that Megatron X was supposed to be the black repaint...

So the rumored Tron figures out have turned out to be the next HasLab project. It's a set of five 3.75" figures (Flynn, Tron, Yori, Sark, and a generic program), two light cycles, and a light-up display base. I don't really like 3.75" figures (I prefer 6"), but these look nicely detailed...

Oh, I'm well aware. I've been harping on that since we first saw a comparison pic of SS86 Optimus. It's the half-assing it by having some SS86 toys in the new SS86 scale while keeping others in the previous WfC/Legacy/AotP scale that really ticks me off.

I couldn't help but chuckle at that. It got me wondering though. Setting aside stuff that explicitly relies on repeated deaths and resurrections as a premise, are there any other characters out there who are quite so... prolific at dying?

Horrorcons? Yeah, there are a couple of those amongst the Masters of the Universe.

Agreed. I think half that height, whether it be added to the shins or the feet, would be about perfect. And I think doing a shorter leg extension would be pretty tricky, so adding them onto the feet would probably be the way to go. It wouldn't get all the other points to line up as perfectly as...

Completely agreed. I only had it because of Fangry, who I would have much rather been able to buy on his own. I'd been hoping to be able to get a Bumper head for it for quite a while. This isn't how I expected to get it, but I'll take it! It's technically not quite the same shade of yellow, but...

One head swap later, much better!

So I finally got the DNA kit in for SS86 Galvatron. I still hate the idea on principle, but it largely does what I was hoping it would. Before: After: It's kinda weird. I always largely liked the proportions of Galvatron without any modifications, and I like the proportions on Megatron...

Thank you! That's MUCH better.
