    Studio Series discussion

    I think the chestplate damage is sculpted in, but I haven't seen enough pics to be sure it isn't just well-chosen lines. I did think there'd be more paint for the damage though. I can't tell clearly in some of the shots but the tears/streaks on the face seem to be there, just in a color too...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    Same. I have so much love for Transformers' forays into "small cutesy blind box things" like Kre-O and Botbots, but mainly because they went the not-true-blind route with codes. I'd probably be even deeper into Blokees if the Defender ones had at least not been in the blind format. I've never...

    I'm Making a Mega Man Thread. My fate is sealed. I have... no choice.

    Well, my wallet is marked safe from these, but i doubt much time passes without classic representation. I'm just glad these appear to capture the look, rather than stylizing it like their Marvel stuff and I think the toku (ultraman and sentai) stuff to some degree. The seemingly greater...

    Studio Series discussion

    Should've gone all in and grayed out that Optimus. Or that may be yet another exclusive, now that the newer tooling is on hand. If they do a two-pack of a grayed out (a la Earthrise "Alternate Universe") trailerless Optimus and a mid-reformatting Megatron with clear bits, and tampo'd x-ray...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    That's fair and a good point. Idk, I just like the mental image of the colors on the stocky, stubby Siege body; 86 Megs is a little too lithe (although that works well with the arms maybe). Those darn seductive thighs.

    Transformers CyberWorld: Optimus STILL Hates Spiders

    I don't think that's accurate to say at all. We should be very careful what we report. As excited as we are about toys and such, we have to avoid obscuring the facts. Of COURSE there are bald German men. There are probably plenty of them. ;)

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    Oddly, for as sick as I am of the Siege mold... If they did it up in the Titanium colors, I just might get it again.

    New Authentics product -- Mini Bot Racers, masks, Cyber Battlers

    Intriguing. A new Deluxe-ish (if it's anything like the Cyberverse reruns) Mirage? Could be neat.

    Linkara covers Transformers... again

    I'm very late to the party with Linkara and that whole generation of YouTubers, and am a little weary of the loud, cynical, angry content creator generation that learned at their feet. I'm probably more familiar with whatever memes or catchphrases or whatever spun out of their work than the work...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    A black base (the vented end) with silver tips (the narrower end) for the smokestacks would probably be a way to capture the distribution, but probably wouldn't look as good as solid silver or solid black. In any event, that Magnus is lovely.

    Actually would be great for that purpose. Maybe get 2 and paint them a rocky or marble pattern to flank the head in gold...

    I'm Making a Mega Man Thread. My fate is sealed. I have... no choice.

    My one and only chance at a Volnutt was the 4 Inch Nel one, which happily coincided with a time I was taking a break from something else AND a local store was bringing those in. The latter used to be a much stumbling block. I then kinda trawled some Yahoo Japan auctions for a few Servbots from...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    A nod to the black and silver smokestack shotgun I guess.

    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    I doubt what I can offer is indicative of anything in the US, really. But here goes. With the Defender versions, which is what I mainly get, they tend to go cheap once opened (especially if the foil is opened and the kit assembled). Although they're already cheap to begin with. I don't think...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    I'm actually not sure what these go for at regular retail as I've only ever bought opened ones from a specialty store (Unicron head, Unicron planet mode, a Hot Rod to try out the articulation and such). But even those were at or a little under $10, so sealed blind boxes are probably a bit...

    Blokees

    I'm not sure why I'm considering getting the Action Edition Tarn just to keep Nickel and flip the bulk of the kit. But in the absence of comparatively priced mainline alternatives for Nickel, I kind of am.

    I don't think anyone was taking issue with you, Steevy; I certainly wasn't.

    Well, then. Obligatory careful skepticism having been indulged, I can buy a ticket for the hype train.

    Transformers: EarthSpark

    Doesn't have to. I doubt any hack relying on such expressions goes any deeper than their sad attempt at "humor".
