I'm also going to review Prime Arcee.

Waaay too busy. Go ahead and go for it. I jumped on the review claim before giving it serious thought.

I would like to claim DOTM Specialist Ratchet

I'm going to stake out a claim for Prime Soundwave, as well as Prime Wheeljack.

I'm not probably going to dole out these reviews in a while, though, so feel free to PM me if you want to do them.

Picked up Liegon Vehicon. May as well do a review.

I can contribute a review of the DOTM Takara/Tomy Deluxe Leadfoot if no one else has it.

The Kabaya set of Hot Rod/Rodimus, Inferno, and Victory Leo. I may even be able to take pictures.....

Okay, I've written most of my Headrobots Centurion review so I'll be posting it shortly.

I guess since I did the other two KOs of the Dino ("W") cassettes, I should do the next two - Gurafi and Noizu. I'll get started on it tonight.

That's a review I'd love to read!

Okaaay, been a while since I've done a review, and I have some free time this week. Hopefully I'll a wee bit more cynical and critical... for my next trick, I'll pick up a trio of TF Prime toys:

-TF Prime Vehicon (First Edition)
-TF Prime Breakdown
-TF Prime Airachnid

As usual, anyone who wants to jump in on my reviews are welcome to do so.

I have been re-reading my old reviews that are in the site, and... bloody hell, many of my earlier reviews suck. And are viewed through rose-tinted glasses, because, well, back then every toy was a fun toy so every review is mostly a positive review. I'm going to use my spare time to rewrite some of them. It's mostly going to be a revision, to be more accurate. And, well, some of them do have overbloated scores. (No, not MP Megatron. He's so bad it's good.) These reviews mark II are just there to appease my obsessive compulsion, and won't show up in the front page updates.

The fact that the FTP files work in a way that they can't show on updates without lots of date changing and stuff in the directory isn't the reason at all, no sir.

Pictures for Breakdown, Vehicon and Airachnid will immediately show up in the site itself, because for some reason my laptop refuses to upload pictures to the forum, but has no problem uploading them into the website. It's maddening.

Prime Breakdown's review is already done, I just need to proof-read it. So I'm going to go out a limb and claim deluxe class Prime Knock Out and Prime Soundwave for review, if no one's done him yet, so we'll get some new toys thrown in as well. Anyone who wants to snag Knock Out and Soundwave, do post here or PM me, and I'll gladly relinquish my claims.

I'm feeling all nostalgic, so I'm going to review some random older toys for a while until I get bored of it. First up are G1 Crankcase, G2 Bumblebee and Armada Predacon.

I'll do a short write-up of Legends ROTF Sideways.

I'll be interested to read that - is it as bad a mould for Sideways as it is for Dino?

If I ever get free time again and complete my outstanding reviews, perhaps I'll write one for Legion DOTM Dino so the world knows how awful he is...

Heinrad · Post by **Heinrad** » Sat Sep 01, 2012 6:59 pm

Might as well review iGear's PP05 Weapon Specialist.

Post by **Blackjack** » Tue Sep 04, 2012 2:56 pm

I'll take a break from reviewing Prime toys and review DOTM Hatchet.

Post by **Blackjack** » Fri Sep 07, 2012 2:12 pm

Anyone wants Prime Wheeljack? Otherwise I'll go and shower the chap with praise.

numbat · Post by **numbat** » Sun Sep 09, 2012 5:31 pm

I'm finally clearing the decks - both DOTM Legion Topspin and Human Alliance Soundwave are complete. I'll hopefully do DOTM Human Alliance Leadfoot soon too, but these bigger figures take more time...

If nobody else is planning on doing them, I'd like to claim:

- DOTM Deluxe Soundwave
- DOTM Deluxe Que

I'll try and do the remaining DOTM figures I own that haven't been reviewed - and these two deserve a bit of attention due to the premium costs they command.

I'd also do Deluxe Leadfoot at some point, but seem to recall someone else had claimed him before I even managed to find one at an affordable (I use this term loosely) price. If this review doesn't appear by the time I clear the three reviews I have claimed, I may jump in there and do him too.

Post by **Blackjack** » Mon Sep 10, 2012 2:43 am

Pretty sure whoever's going to write the Leadfoot review isn't going to write it in the immediate future, since the chap haven't posted since April. Consider the review yours, numbat.

As for me, I'm going to add DOTM Guzzle to my pending reviews.
