    The 3rd Party Toy Picture thread

    Ok, I kinda want that thing now. The Missing Link one is a tough sell, but this might work. Plus, with my luck, as soon as I spend on something like this, Hasbro will up and release a redeco of the Deluxe mold... So everyone can win.

    This is pretty neat, but I'm more or less good as far as having G1 Bumblebee. If I get one more it may be the SS86 one (to upgrade with a 3P head of a non-sour expression), as I was surprised at how charming and fun I found it when I got Bumper. There's just something so pleasing about the chonk...

    If I'm being totally honest? I've sounded like this in the past (to be fair, the aftermarket can be r o u g h). In this entire conversation, I've been speaking from a context that has for all my collecting life had to deal with aftermarket prices for things that are exclusive to the US and...

    It's gonna sting to not be able to get this, because wowww that's so cool.

    Transformers: Age of the Primes Thread: ll First Post All Listings II Update : April 12th, 2027 Bonus Wave: Repaint fun, Beast Wars, G2, Machine Wars

    I'm glad to see some verification of projects from Nonnef and BotM. It's always felt like a workable niche that somehow has just not gotten explored, and oddly so for all the love for Dino Riders AND the lack of anything official or big for them in the now decades-long nostalgia wave. This and...

    Transformers: Age of the Primes Thread: ll First Post All Listings II Update : April 12th, 2027 Bonus Wave: Repaint fun, Beast Wars, G2, Machine Wars

    I've been wondering. It seems like something an enterprising 3D designer could whip up for existing, say, Jurassic Park dinos? Has there been something yet?

    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    Not hung over YET, but check back after the celebration for getting TWO My First Blasters in this economy (admittedly only the Wheels one is new)... The Blokees Wheels one is made from two sprues (the same white/red used for the car itself). Has the My First Blaster logo etched into the side...

    This just in: if a store isn't located exactly where you are, it's an "obscure corner store in Botswana" ITT: person discovers stores and their exclusives exist independent of them and their circumstances

    It's like they didn't just "help the fans" by releasing a slew of previously-exclusive molds at general retail, in Soundwave, Dirge, Ramjet, Cosmos, Galaxy Shuttle, Origin Bumblebee, Decepticon Crasher, and so on. It's like releasing an exclusive on its own rather than as part of a five-pack...

    He just missed his Empurata head when he traveled back in time to be Onyx. So one day he sidled up to Amalgamous and said, "hey, you know what's a REALLY cool head design..."

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

    That's a neat Megs with cool effects, and I like the higher contrast on Bee better than the gray/yellow of the Cyberverse original. But these are pretty far down the list. Too much going on.

    Swapticons (new gimmick line)

    The faces are still meh (I do kinda dig the missing tooth on Slug). I am appreciative of the G2ness of that Grimlock, as well as the specificity and appropriateness of Lazorbeak. Oddly, for all that, they seem to have used Skar instead of Scarr. I wonder if it was a mixup or the latter was no...

    Thread of Thoughts, Questions (and Maybe Even Answers) That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

    Huh, you're right. I was aware that it wasn't always right before TRoOP, but I hadn't realized it was a few after FFoD. Always thought it was midseasonish. In any case, I was mainly saying it should be early in the hypothetical season revision I was spitballing. Probably not too different from...

    A not-insignificant part of me wants whatever Sunstorm to come from the Earthrise Seeker mold, but I'm with you on that character being long overdue.

    I'd buy them all if they fix those scary arm panel hinges.

    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    Maybe there'll be a toy-based initial release, and a cartoon-based retool (as with Bee/Cliffjumper) both having the engineering for a fold-out head that otherwise stores in the chest below the panel head. I'd love for a Hot Rod and/or Rodimus Prime next (both seem easy enough to add joints to)...

    Always appreciated the hidden-storage weapons. MW/BW2 flipchangers guns and long barrels, Alternators engine block guns. Those could even help make the most of the big gaps modern figures tend to need. But there's only so much that can be done with those, and more often than not there'd just be...

    This is storage in the same way as putting a pan on the stove is storage. Edit: huh, the return of a burnt-out cityscape a la Classics. 20th anniversary! (Crumbles into dust and blows away)
