  1. I customize most of my TFs. Rotf leader is awesome. Rotf leader starscream is good too except the hands. Modding the wrists wasn't as hard as I thought. Dotm ironhide....good looking bot mode, but there are QC issues on these (glued neck, front part of the car which are his shoulders pop off too easily when you're transforming it), and limited articulation. Transformation is too simplistic and I expected more from a leader class. Basically, most of his robot form is under the truck and you turn him around and pull out the lower legs and arms. Don't have leader BBs or sentinel, can't comment on those.

  2. Looking forward to dino and sound wave figs. Hope they really are the car brands used and not some made up hybrid.

    glad they didn't use ratchet's name. Wouldn't want ratchet to be so fugly and go out the way he did. Can't stain the Dr smoov version! I was waiting for wheelie and brains to show up again because I can't see them dying when the ship didn't even blow up.

  3. Is there such a thing as 3D fatigue?

    I don't know if is only me, but on TF3 there were only a few scenes where I *really* had the 3d feeling.

    Cyberton scene on the beginning and the wing-suit strike...

    I wonder if there's anything to the fact I wear glasses, or if after a few minutes my eyes are adjusting to "normalize" the 3d effect.

    Same thing with Tron... I was so disappointed that I could barely see any 3d at all.

    You might be on to something. I wore my glasses in avatar and after a few minutes, I didn't notice any 3D.

    edit:

    then again, I have a slight astigmatism on my right eye. Dunno if that has anything to do with it.

  4. Have you tried pushing down on the bottom end of the cover plate? The top edge is hinged. I only accidentally discovered it during the first time I transformed it. My thumb was on the piece and accidentally pushed it in and the piece came off.

    I think the crotch is designed like the model where it does "cave in" when transforming to jet mode so that there's is more space for the head.

  5. How's the Dorothy? I'm looking to pick her up at AmiAmi for my dad's birthday. Amusingly, it'll be the first figma I buy, and it's not for me.

    She's pretty good. Solid, doesnt fall apart. Comes with pero and a broom. You can put her in action poses, but its very undorothy like. Her 2nd face has her eyes looking slightly to the left. The joints are tight. Although her extra hands' wrists are a little loose, but not floppy. You can get her arms up higher if you slip her pointy shoulders into her body.

  6. I wouldn't say it's as solid as a vf-1 v.2 The design has too many angles and the back kibble make it awkwards sometimes when holding it. I'm completely impressed by it tho. It displays beautifully in all modes.

    The faults on mine are:

    loose shoulders in battroid. They wont hold the angled up position.

    The crotch swing bar only clips really good on one side. Going to have to open it up and see what's going on there.

    Die cast parts are the shoulder mechanism, swing bar, and ankles (there's alot going on in the ankles) I think that's it.

    ...if there was something I could nitpick at that was designed purposely, it would be the gummy head lasers.
