Er, on topic ( a little bit!) . I have a few of these blind packed mini-figures. I like 'em, although I've given up buying them now, after my fourth Caveman in a row! I've got the forestman, ninja, zombie, skater boi, caveman, cowboy & magician. I also have duplicates (1 of each) of the skater b...

Things on my radar... MP Grimlock (the Hasbro version), HFTC stuff - some of them look pretty good and just whatever else takes my fancy. I have a few older figures I would like, Universe Nemesis Prime (the Big Convoy repaint), Beast Wars Blackarachnia (first version), Beast Wars Tigatron, Buzzsaw, ...

I've been re-reading Dreamwave's stuff, and the elephantitis artwork makes it a real chore to tell whats going on. Particualrly with James McDonagh's stuff, here's a guy who desperately needed an artist who can do storytelling (which admittedly he did get with the ongoing) , instead we get the fat f...

I thought Marauder Megatron looked pretty cool. I like the face mask thing - a bit of a homage to BM Megs. Plus, he's a more successful triple changer than TFA Blitzwing. The Animated Hotshot prototype that's also shown in the Animated Almanac II looked like a good toy also. better than his Universe...

i think skullgrin is supposed to be screaming. possibly. i remember that piece of art of skullgrin's interior robot was used in another advert for a Transformers torch. Shining the torch light onto Skullgrin seemed to make him explode :swirly:

Shame the volume numbers are backwards and the first episode of season 2 and season 3 weren't regular retail. I was happy to upgrade to the slimline shiny R1 DVDs. I did end up buying the R1 DVDs, but the design is lacking. The interior slip cases are fine, but they just don't look interesting. At ...

I only ever owned 'The Return Of Optimus Prime' (bit disappointed that the lure of the cover art didn't reflect the contents). I thought it was goofy, even then and was disappointed that it didn't match up to the comics. Over time, I enjoyed it for what it was and watched it so many times, I can pre...

I'm intrigued by his work on recent IDW covers. A very scratchy Gary Gianni (is that the dude's name? Did that back up strip in Hellboy a few years back, anyway...) style of drawing. Its his proportions being a bit off that bother me - that Fort Max illo on the Titan TPBs springs instantly to mind. ...

In fact, I'd guess most who did spaff the money on the Club one have a minty fresh Gen 1 original or two soullessly encased in acrylic... I don't think people buy exclusives for value for money... In fact, what's the going rate for a decent nick original Piranacon? It can't be particularly less tha...
