The gun says pizza but the projectile says fried chicken.
Completely off-topic, but in the US Midwest, we have a pizza chain called Pizza Ranch; their pizza is okay(ish), but they are much more well-known for their fried chicken, so much so that some of their uniform shirts joke about calling it Chicken Ranch...

More On-topic, a long time ago, on a washing machine far, far away...:

Turbotron, a custom figure of the Clone Turbo Tank, using the head from a Classics 2-pack Megatron. I think I intended for this to be a reformed Megatron who joined the Autobots and took the form of a space tank to join the Iacon Defense Force.

Before This Was The Way, there was Boba Fett, the coolest character to wear the armor of the Mandalorian Supercommandos and die like a chump in his second big screen appearance. But don't worry, he got better...

Not quite Star Wars, but certainly taking inspiration in parts. Missing Link Arcee completed the family; I think I would have preferred the anime colors, but the prototype head definitely fits the rest of the group better. Obviously, Blurr and Kup are the Targetmaster versions, and Rodimus Major got the Targetmaster upgrade from Transrepro many years ago. I would like to see ML Arcee retooled into a Headmaster version, and maybe a (double?) Targetmaster for Springer and a Powermaster for Ultra Magnus, sort of extend the Rebirth upgrades to the rest of the 86 cast in a What If...? kind of way.

Love it! Out of curiosity (and way, way off topic), is your Glide floss the newer, rubber bandy style, or the former ribbon style? I only ask because it's my favorite floss and I don't like the new rubbery style. Genuinely trying to find some of the old stuff :LOL:
Ok GREAT question, but settle in for some science and lore bc I’m a pubic health doc and you unknowingly asked a public health question….😛

To answer your question, this is the older stuff. I found it hidden in the back of one of my pantries as I was cleaning one out.

But here’s the rub: the old ones are made out of teflon. Yes, as in the stuff they use to coat pans. Also yes, as in the stuff made out of PFAS, aka forever plastics aka microplastics aka is linked to all sorts of long-term health problems and is bad pollutant for the environment as FUGG.

So, no actually, you can’t find the old type of floss in stores anywhere any more. This type of floss has been discontinued everywhere for years (even though they still make teflon-coated cookware and foodware 🤷🏻‍♀️). So unfortunately, you can only get this floss now on the secondary market, or tiny mom’n’pops that only replenish their non-expiring dental supply stock once they run out (or apparently if you happen to be messy and hoard dental supplies lol).

The new type is made from nylon, which is a more non-toxic type of polymer, but is bouncy and springy as FOOK. I myself hate it, but am trying to find other brands that make their string as wide and maybe out of some other material, but so far have had no such luck.

So, we’re just doing our best to use what’s left of this (bc I really don’t like slinging what’s left of my dinner all over my bathroom mirror every night 🥴🤢) and rinsing out our mouths after use. It still puts PFAS into your body and deposits it in the ocean water (and our seafood ultimately) once our sink water makes it out there, and I know that, but we’re trying to minimize that as much as we can for ourselves in other aspects of our lives, like using ceramic and silicon cookware, and not buying anything Starbucks tea/coffee, whose cups still use that heat-resistant coating ALSO made of teflon (among a plethora of other reasons not to patronize Starbucks).

So. Yeah. 🙃 I know I could just throw it out, but even if I did that, it will end up where it ends up out there, in the air after being incinerated, or in our seafood if it gets dumped the ocean, and back into our bodies anyway. Might as well clean my teeth efficiently. 🥲 #thereisnoethicalconsumptioninamerica

Buuut anyway Transformers! Photos! Yayyy!😨

I still have not taken this guy out of the box yet. I'm so impressed with the way he's packaged, it is tough for me to remove him.
Keep yours MISB and buy a second one loose.

I tried popping the legs off an Origins figure for the first time with a hot water bath. Surprised a bit how easy and well it worked. So now Origins Pretender Bumblebee has the red crotch piece he was missing.

The last thing I have planned to grab for him is an Origins 200X Adam head to be the unmasked version.


-ZacWilljam, Ideally I'd like white hands too but Slamurai is damn expensive. :p

Looks awesome and I'm still looking forward to him, but I keep forgetting he's "only" a Leader. He looks fine with the other Primes, but being next to Jhiaxus somehow makes him look small.

Would Titan class be sufficiently close enough to re-create that last page of G2? HasLab Unicron class? :LOL:
He is taller and bulkier than Megatronus for what it's worth. He's probably the most substantial Leader of the line.

Any problems with the clear parts? I heard some rumors of cracks but I don't see where it would be stressed? I haven't gotten one yet.

No issues on my end. The clear parts are his darts, which peg into his gun, his left cannon hand, and his heels. Nothing's cracking on mine.

I hadn't thought about that particular pairing you're showing. Now I have to come up with a troop-building back story for that group. ;)
