    Power Rangers General Discussion Thread

    That's largely why I kept my suggestions to tooling that was already available (Ryu's helmet, or even a non-MMPR Ranger helmet, regular Ranger arms), just exploring color changes to set it apart (I genuinely think the clear orange with some highlights would do better). Again the Cammy I still...

    I want to hear Jeffrey Combs say it.

    Power Rangers General Discussion Thread

    Oh, I know. And it does show in the difference in designs. It's unfortunate as Hasbro was at least willing to spend some money on some retooling and experiment a bit.

    Good to see a Kingdom Cyclonus with the yellowing at a minimum.

    Power Rangers General Discussion Thread

    I was excited to see these announced, but something just isn't working for me with the designs. There's just some artfulness that was in the first two that's missing from these, and the pretty bleh helmet on the morphed Ken is particularly underwhelming. I can't quite put my finger on what I'd...

    Studio Series discussion

    Hoping to see better-transformed and posed pics soon. The legs are a pretty notable improvement over the TLK Voyager's (which I'm fairly happy with as my representation of that design) but the shell has to go somewhere, and the way it folds up into the backpack is currently not as clear as I'd...

    Swapticons (new gimmick line)

    Just now realizing that the Jungle Mission 5pack raises some questions, as it's an odd number. Unless it's five pairs rather than five characters.

    Swapticons (new gimmick line)

    In a just world they'd have continued making them after bringing back a couple of pairs in Siege. These seem like a neat novelty, but I agree that the art style is not selling them. Seems to be similar to their face switching Mighty Muggs from a few years back, which I also had zero interest in...

    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 very glad this is Topspin (we just got a Twin Twist), and I like those Targetmasters well enough, but would you be interested in splitting just for the Spinister?

    Oh man. This unreleased trio was three really handsome decos. I wish there were an affordable venue for this one.

    I kind of want to find out more about how Hasbro came up with the name. Like I'm sure it was some variation of "try to be consistent with current branding, so Something Wars" and "to go with Wars, Vehicle sounds too on the nose and has too many syllables, got anything with two syllables?", but...

    (shrug) I'd be fine with that. People are going to say and do what they want regardless. Not going to trade in five closer likenesses/homages to avoid something that'll happen anyway. Besides, it IS the modern combiner frame situation. Let DNA or whoever has time and a 3D printer whip up...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    That's a big part of what draws me to it. It's a big weird reboot before those were really that much of a thing in Transformers (specifically "weird", in that BW cut away as cleanly as it could at first, but this has it both ways in the strangest manner). It's got some of the same divergent...

    Your Top 10 of 2024

    I'll always wish for another cassette box set until it happens somehow. This is probably quite unlikely at this point, lol. Or hey, maybe have them pull a Legacy United Soundwave and release a Twincast with Rosanna, Rewind, and Nightstalker. I already have Twincast/Rewind, but I may talk myself...

    The box art for this line was all tweaked versions of earlier box art anwyay, but I'd rather the toys match the toys. Even going with Mirage/Hoist or Scraphook for the other Autobots doesn't preclude using a Motormaster for Prime in this scenario. Of course the next question is the feasibility...

    Post Pictures of your Transformers and have people add captions!

    Yeah, I can see Shadewing's objection to this. The Autobots in particular sacrifice better likenesses for the inexplicable benefit of being a combiner, and I for one would much rather have the former. Combiner Wars and POTP tired me out on the "so you look very little like you're supposed to...
