  1. Seems like a vast improvement over the Armada figure. Except for the loss of ratchet joints, of course.
  2. If enough parts of the Toynami Alpha are replaced, it could surpass Gakken.
  3. We sure do. I had my hopes up before we knew who MP-10 would be.
  4. I started setting up my TFTM cast display. Still have more figures to dig up.
  5. He played a serial killer in "The Watcher".
  6. I just bought Kickboxer on BluRay. "I wa...I want Tong Po!!!" still makes me nod in approval.
  7. Prime is probably an example of one of the bad Alternators. He wasn't even intended to be Optimus initially, but Takara twisted arms because a pickup truck wouldn't sell in Japan. I'd say the Silverstreak mold is one of the best and Hound is middle-of-the-road.
  8. Wow! That's some nice work!
  9. Ugh... Why is TRU.com so damn inconsistent? One week they're doing preorders, then the next they're being release date Nazis. All of which would be moot if the stores were stocked.
  10. Heh! That's kinda fantastic! Which GI Joes did you cannibalize for that?
  11. I picked up a Sandstorm this past weekend. Was surprised to find one so soon. Definitely worth a double dip. He's only technically the same mold as Springer. Peaugh's video review points out that there are more unique parts on each figure than common ones.
  12. Nope. Alternators are 1:24 scale. And if I'm not mistaken, Alternity are 1:32 (roughly the size of Deluxe Class TF cars before the downsizing a couple years ago).
  13. That's what I took from the discussion. The Matty Voltron was aimed at adult collectors, not kids. Had that been the prevalent line of thought from concept to execution, many of its gimmicks would have been dropped in favor features that would have earned praise from collectors rather than their ire. Smaller pilots, more complex transformations, and lions with necks, for example.
  14. I totally agree. I think the one lesson he took from Pa Costner was "Hide. And if the thought of revealing your powers should cross your mind...hide even harder."
  15. Saw it last night. I dug it. It seems they borrowed quite a bit from Smallville's Zod and Jor El relationship. The Kryptonian tech practically co-starred in the flick as it is so unique.
  16. Are those additional paint apps on Jetfire?
  17. I've seen it before. I'm curious to see it as armor. Yours will be the only option in town. Perfect or not, I'll be getting a set.
  18. He gave a progress update in another thread. He said it doesn't look good.
  19. I checked out my Garland. The new shoulders have held up fine. However, the metal swing arms seem to have eroded. I will definitely be ordering a plastic set from Veef along with a ton of other stuff when funds loosen up. Hopefully the Alpha hands will be in his store at that time.
  20. The shoulders on the newer ones (after the MZ1 Garland) and the replacement ones Yamato USA was sending out are reportedly made of POM plastic. I got a replacement set years ago and the plastic used definitely had a different finish and color than on the original shoulders. I haven't checked my Garland to see if the shoulders held up, but will try to locate it and take a look.
