The Kubian "Cool Become Brave" KO CW Devastator -- standing with the shoulders a couple of cm taller than CW Bruticus, I'd recommend it as a CHUG display choice. It really shows up design issues with the tabbing in the original mould though, and the likelihood is some of them will wear or snap if yo...

Maybe I'm under-thinking this, but I'd imagine if anything it may be more straightforward in the US -- refuse critical vaccinations and health insurance be invalidated.

Anything reckon Sunstreaker's going to be the basis for the other battlecharger?

Vaguely remember VI (The Freaks) being alright as a kid. Scooby Doo on Zombie Island, some more old Cradle of Filth discs to go with PanDaemonAeon (Heavy, Left-Handed and Candid + Peace Through Superior Firepower) and a box set of Victorian Kitchen Gardens plus the two BBC series that followed it. A...

True, and I suppose there'll be Omega/Devastator/Predaking displays out there too by people who mainly collect legend, voyager or MP car class who swell the numbers by Omega being the only Autobot that fits. Our local store (Smyths) must have sold some of them at full price, ditto Trypticon and expe...

I think you're their ideal customer... personally I don't think the gestalts and Omega fit at the titan class size point, it's just the four citybots, but if you're skipping those it fits into a collection better. Not sure where the hell I'm going to fit Scorponok in scorpion mode. Possibly displaci...

Just found this and I know it's going to be a good watch.

Not sure you could get a passable Centurion out of existing TFs unless it was a pretender shell, regular action figures might be a better base. Rotorstorm's been in comics recently enough for some crossover sales. This is just half-arsed planning when they've gone to the trouble of weapon paint apps...

It's like they don't get any feedback first, isn't it? Most people will have thought a) green Centurion droid, and b) Spinister's head is too distinctive so for a repaint that'll sell include one in the original mould.

Nice job. I'll check out the blog itself more at some point, have always meant to, but I know that realistically the best chance of doing so is if I wind up reading it all whilst proof-reading. That might not be the best way of doing it with comics I haven't followed because no images, but it'll sti...

Scotland's great (still problems in poorer areas). Wales can be very parochial unless you aim for the big/tourist areas. The main advantage of the not-for-much-longer-UK is that there isn't far between point A and point B. Yeah, shitty behaviour. There are a lot of companies that won't be getting bu...

Neat! LEGO tends to be my go-to for parts in other customs too -- there's always something that can replace a neck/joint when you're putting action figures back together or be the base for a weapon. Must dig out a Bionicle trident for Hammerbyte actually. I wasn't sure that the ball joints would sup...

So I think my plan is a "new" style traditional boxy one in black, having a play with LDD first and then for realz. Far from a good photo but I finally got around to taking one for people who asked. :) https://i.imgur.com/ChzKH9S.jpg The design is a bit too intricate to be fun (it models the inside...

Exhaust is nice but I was more hoping we'd get Slicer this time around. Still, a good option for the mold if, like me, you have enough good Wheeljacks

Pretty nice. I can see that working as part of a merc team.

The bots are contributing more on-topic discussion than most people who post here, aren't they?

A cynical person might think such businesses are being given the green light to reopen so they can't file for government assistance. Totally the case here. Plus there'll be an idiotic political decision shortly to relax 2m distancing driven by pubs. I'm just hoping (against experience) that there i...

I'm sure there is still re-use, but it'll be the cash-in red Swoops, Ricochets, G2 Bruticus/Menasor sets, etc. which are easy money whilst still being relatively premium priced product to balance the risk of being stuck with stock. And I'm sure it's still expensive to produce good quality moulds, bu...

To stop COVID-19 we need to completely change almost everything in our life: how we work, exercise, socialize, shop, manage our health, educate our kids, take care of family members. We all want things go back to normal quickly. But what most of us have probably not yet realized - some things never...

Well, ordered that. It'll want re-reads. Been a while since I skimmed anything making notes. There are elements of the City of the Saved as well as Culture-esque backups, plus Subliming, and all of this is going to make future writing that hits a reset button more jarring than usual, assuming it's t...

They can't be retooling actual moulds for such significantly different parts though, can they? I concede that it's a pattern that later *similar* figures have poorer tolerances, but modern manufacturing means CAD files and precision cutting has to be more the norm? The oversizing of the AOYI knock o...
