Since I'm only doing one complete (though random) team, every figure is going to have to appeal to me in multiple ways to make the cut. Or appeal to me in one BIG way. Whichever.

I think there are plenty of folks just collecting for the display value. But ya know, I wouldn't mind it if they'd just friggin' find SOMETHING interesting to do with them. And maybe make them cross compatible with everything, rather than bring out a new batch for specific games (and maybe one or two others). <br /><br />I wish I knew what to tell ya with Imaginext, other than me keeping a lookout for you. They show up at Meijer (grocery store) and Target, around here. The first wave was at TRU....once. They never got a single other wave. That, and they just seem to mostly stock the vehicles and large sets. I don't quite get their ordering habits.<br /><br />I really love egg-formers, but they did pick some oddballs for the first wave (if they're even planning on more). Buzz was the only one that looked good in egg form. The others look like a giant took the characters and crumpled them up. I think they should make a basic transforming egg and do art stuff with it, like the Vinylmation stuff.<br /><br />Hasbro is certainly dropping the ball on paint, in certain areas. Like I explained above: The Spider-Man Legends currently out are just horrendous. At least, everyone I've run in to so far has been. As for Ultimate Spider-Woman: I thought her head looked fine, and she's actually a favorite among the ones I picked up. Perhaps you just gotta have her in-hand. And yeah, watching the Daredevil series will probably make me keep the figure (if I find him). *Sigh* I'm a sucker, like that.<br /><br />I know, right? I think I should finish off all my other random build-a-figure parts that way.<br /><br />As for Motormaster: You know that's just the Motormaster head, right? He has a different head that slides into place when you combine him to make Menasor. It has horns! Just look up "Menasor" and you'll see it.

First of all, th...Alright, it's catch up time!<br /><br />First of all, that Mega Man Amiibo is damn near perfect. Actually, all of these Amiibo figures are really well done. I wish they were true articulated figures instead of game add-ons that I can't really use, but that hasn't stopped me from buying three of them so far.<br /><br />Those blind-bagged Imaginext figures keep getting better and better. Too bad I can't find anything beyond series 2 here. The loss of Target here is going to seriously hinder my Imaginext hunting. The only other place that really stocks them now is TRU, and that can be hit or miss.<br /><br />I saw those Disney eggs the other day too. I was curious about them, but in the end I couldn't decide which one I wanted most. They're all pretty odd.<br /><br />I like that all-sand Sandman figure too! I just haven't been able to find one without sloppy eyes yet, which is gradually becoming a problem with Hasbro stuff across the board. I also like that Ultimate Spider-Woman figure, but is it just me, or is her head a tad too big? Also, Netflix's Daredevil is all kinds of great, so you may very much be wanting to keep the figure once you start watching it. I know it's given me a new appreciation for the character.<br /><br />Nice worth with finishing off Hobgoblin by the way. You can't even tell you cheated.<br /><br />Last figure I'll comment on is Box Head/Motormaster. Originally I was going to use him as the torso for my team of Combiners, but I'm not a fan of that head. I think it's the plain face more than anything that does it for me.<br /><br />Alright, moving on to the next post! You will see my words later.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01454650838507365691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-10859247827911014232015-04-29T23:21:07.278-04:002015-04-29T23:21:07.278-04:00...you son of a bitch. ...you son of a bitch.

One thing I reall...Yeah, I miss the truck feet too. One thing I really do like about this modern Motormaster is that he's in scale both with the original Classics Prime and the current CW Prime (seeing as how they share parts). G1 Motormaster's bio talked about how he really wanted to have a head-on collision with Prime, but since the original Prime toy was a good three times the size of Motormaster, that never really seemed feasible. Now it is! Time to smash toys together!Draculahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00587852177919783864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-28075856716791474772015-04-29T11:05:54.528-04:002015-04-29T11:05:54.528-04:00It seems like my area is always a few steps behind...It seems like my area is always a few steps behind. When I was looking for Superion limbs, they were no where to be found while everyone had completed pics of Superion (well, with Dragstrip, of course). Now that the new cars for Menesor are showing up, the stores are FULL of all the Superion planes from the first wave. So...it'll probably be awhile before those sell out and they put out new stuff. OR...the classic thing will happen where they put out the new stuff, it sells out in a blink, and then they put out another three or four stocks of the first wave until they sit on the shelves, collecting dust, and blocking any chance of a restock of future waves.<br /><br />Anyway: I like my bright colors as well (and Classics Megatron will always rock my socks) but there aren't many purely silver guys, so I like to see Megs in his silver and red duds when I can. Plus: That's my jam. The white and red or silver and red color scheme. Awesome stuff, always.<br /><br />Yeah, I was noticing Motormaster's box head thing in the TF wiki! Funny how that stuff works out. Now he'll always be Box Head; the poor guy. On the other hand: I'm disappointed that his vintage feet being made from the front of the truck hasn't become a staple for future Motormasters. I like the looks of his transformation.<br /><br />Also<br /><br />You had one job. ONE JOB.

I've...Maaaan do I love the Combiner Wars stuff. I've said it before. But I DO love it. My Superion is complete but I so far only have Off Road and Drag Strip from the Stunticons. I haven't actually seen Motormaster or Blackjack in stores yet. And that Megatron...unf. I like my 2006 Classics Megatron OK, but I really like having a Megs that can be in a group of Decepticons in his alternate mode and look appropriate. And I do enjoy bright colors, but to my G1 eyes Megatron will always be silver, black, and red. <br /><br />Incidentally, Motormaster has a box head because his G1 toy's head was surrounded by the shape of his trailer, and that was interpreted as his entire head by the animation team. All subsequent Motormaster toys must have a box head in order to be correct. <br /><br />Also<br /><br />frats<br /><br />...WAIT NO I FUCKED IT UPDraculahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00587852177919783864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-76187594369006042162015-04-29T09:35:58.780-04:002015-04-29T09:35:58.780-04:00I love you.I love you.Alexxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467443844522666834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-5910731939379464752015-04-29T08:17:00.575-04:002015-04-29T08:17:00.575-04:00FartsFartsCaptain Lhurgoyfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-41552620819396413002015-04-29T00:42:10.333-04:002015-04-29T00:42:10.333-04:00Yeah, I need to get on that Netflix Daredevil, at ...Yeah, I need to get on that Netflix Daredevil, at some point.
