I may display him with the rest of the Toxitron wave. Just a great vibrant look.

Ayup, I rechecked our screencaps of the stream where they announced him and the display model does indeed have the rocket launcher up and level with the shoulders (as opposed to the stock image/render, which has it swiveled down and back to point up). I've gone back and edited that bit out of my...

I dunno. My only real basis is Dino Fury since I just got started watching that after having not watched regularly in like 20+ years, but even with that being mostly original stuff (having the costumes to work with, having in-house cgi for most other stuff) rather than mostly writing around...

Same, actually. This is one of the releases that have aged the best.

Found one more soon-to-be-retired Classic custom. It's just as well. I've painted myself into a corner, in more ways than one. Admittedly I'm not sure what to do with some of these now, heh.

I had a brainfart for a moment there and assumed "Retro Duke and Scarlett" were going to be more 1:18 o-ring figures.

I'm nonplussed, and caught up in all the uncertainty surrounding the brand right now. This sort of cloud comes back over the brand every now and then, and it's had numerous "this is the last season", "the brand is done", etc production moments in its history. But knowing that doesn't make me...

And now that they've done Nemesis, the board is clear for Titan class Nightscream.

Gorgeous. I actually tracked this down instead of the recent Commander class redeco (and mercifully found it for less than that would've run me). Actually somewhat tempted to backtrack and get the Henkei one, despite having the Hasbro release. (Come to think of it, I did also get Tread Bolt at...

I likewise don't think Speilberg has anything to do with this still being a thing 16 years after it made its mark in the first film, and about 14 years since it stopped being interesting in the second.

If that's the case, I hope it's Silverbolt's design that is the base and not the other way around. They can do great things with partial retools, but sometimes the results are uneven with hard-to-ignore compromises (Elita/Minerva/Strongarm) and I'd rather my favorite BW guy dodge that bullet...

Incredibly helpfully, the Sunbow scale chart seems to have both Op and Magnus at the same height (which is fudged anyway because the chart has them drawn in 3/4 view). WFC Magnus is a bit shorter than SS86 Grim, basically between him and Op in height. I'm fine with the (City) Commander class...

I agree. A big part of that is also just how intimate the scale was. One central character with a meaningful emotional journey, which they were able to parlay into a lovely Iron Giant-ish arc with Bumblebee (aside: I'm weirded out by how little the full name is used in ROTB, although it's cute...

Be neat if you could just swap out the pizza van light for the antenna stuff Tow-Line had (I'm not sure if this uses a 5mm peg or a thin tab). Then again, oddly enough, the Earthrise mold would be a good fit too considering Tow-Line also had the sled thing. But this robot mode feels lankier...

It's really neat to see the backgrounds against the old-school wood cabinet aesthetic. The contrast is charming.

Iirc SS86 Grimlock is about a head (and shoulders) taller than Earthrise Op, so this works for me. Magnus doesn't really need to be bigger than that, for my tastes (I forget the actual scale chart detail).

I think Bumblebee accomplished all that so well, for me personally, that I managed to go into this not even thinking about that. But I can certainly understand the vibe of waiting anxiously for the other shoe to drop and Bay writing to pop out from behind a corner and gross up the movie. I...

Part of me does wonder at why, because while I enjoyed it a lot it didn't seem like a really world-changing, thrilling thing to keep seeing again or tell friends to go see. But if you're already looking to go see a movie, it's a good solid choice and a comfy rewatch, so that much I get. Either...

Yeah, I mean, isn't that what a hue shift is? And even if that's semantics, this before and after seems far enough to count.

It's a higher price point, so the budget could go toward bigger chunks of plastic OR more smaller chunks of plastic, or a balance of both. Since WFC, they're only as big as whatever internal scale they're following calls for. Once that's hit, the budget goes toward adding other stuff to round...
