Grabbed both sets. Not sure if I will be opening them soon. But I just love the collar pins that the folks from Falcon’s Hanger passed to me when I collected the sets. Awesome stuff!

Just got back from my long Japan trip. Managed to score a few things. Best of which was the rare Marvel Universe variants I found hanging on a rack in some toy shop! continue reading..

On to my 2nd shelf of toys. Bursting to the seems, but still with a bit of space for new stuff. continue reading..

I’ve finally managed to set up my display cases as well as take some photos of them. No point saying too much. I’ll let the pics do the talking. continue reading..

The latest TF United figures have pretty amazing sculpts. Wreck-Gar, Kup and Perceptor are all great redesigns of classic G1 characters. While Blurr is just a rehash of the Drift figure.

Grabbed myself a nice little chainsaw. Will go nicely with my T800 Arnie figure. Also got WST Ultra Magnus. Nice and small.

An interesting ComicCon exclusive was announced today by Hasbro. A GI Joe SkyStriker will be redecorated into the Generation 1 Starscream color scheme. Best of all, Cobra Commander will pilot the figure in pilot mode, and will also carry a Generation 1 Megatron in his gun mode as a sidearm. This will make for a nice convention exclusive.

This reminds me of the many Transformers vs GI Joe comics through the years.

Pretty cool infographic of the cars used by the G1 Autobots.

I was pretty amazed with the robot design of MP9. Rodimus Prime looks every bit like his character in Transformers The Animated Movie. Though the main drawback of MP9 is his transformation into vehicle mode. It’s complicated and possibly due to QC issues, it’s practically impossible to have all four wheels touching the ground nicely. I’m not the only one having this problem, the forums are full of complaints.

Even with the issues, MP9 is a winner in my eyes. I’ll be leaving him posed as in the pictures, cause his vehicle and trailer mode aren’t anything special anyway. Every prime needs a nemesis, and Rodimus’s is Galvatron. MP10? I sure hope so!

A good start to February. The awesome looking Masterpiece Rodimus Prime, TF United figures and Predator. Will be ripping open the boxes this CNY weekend!
