Is it bad that my favorite scenes were the bits with the rocks?

Pretty bonkers movie with a bit of heart.

That was the only part I liked.  Hated the rest of it. It was nice to see Short-round again though. 

Is there a release date for that Miles Morales? My son would love that for his birthday in May.

edit: answered my own question; July https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/230018

I was so stoked for this, but that price took the fire out of that flame. Not happening. 

Those last few pics tho 😍

I'll never understand using a Porsche for Mirage. If they didn't want to (or couldn't) use a proper F1 car, then they should have used the next best thing: a McLaren F1.

Those last couple of pages were crazy. I lost count of how many times I said “WTF!” out loud lol. So many weird takes on the old 1/55.

At first glance, I thought this one on the left had a Getter Dragon head!

Both of their faces look off, Evangeline's in particular. 

Another beautiful build Anubis!

🤮

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who was confused by that. 

Super, SUPER excited for this! I hope to see the Nikick, and the other mechs soon to follow. 

Thx for the shot Lolicon!

Size wise they're quite close, but the Infinity looks a lot better IMO

That Gandalf is insane.

I was thinking the same thing. I’m also curious about the size difference between the two.

Maybe?  On the one hand, if you're doing Magnus with the inner robot than the regular Optimus repaint seems inevitable.  But, the consensus seems to be that there are several good options for a Masterpiece Optimus Prime, and that concessions made to allow the armor to attach make this a sort of poor alternative to TE-01/MS-01/MS-02/MP-44 etc.  It'd have to be remolded, not straight repainted, and even that might not be enough.

I guess it'll come down to price and availability.  If it sells out super quick like a lot of FT stuff, and it's overpriced the way a lot of FT stuff is, then both Prime and Magnus will be a pass for me.  If FM turns out to be their more budget-friendly line, though, I could be in for both.

Let's see, what else was at TFCon?  It was pretty underwhelming, really.  Robosen showed off a slightly smaller, slightly cheaper version of their Optimus.  Iron Factory showed off a bunch of their Legends-class samurai stuff, which is cool but not for me.  Fans Hobby had a repaint of their Armada Prime and a note that Armada Jetfire is coming, and prototypes for Doubledealer and Dreadwind.  I'm not all-in on Armada stuff (and I'm more interested in their Energon Prime), but I'll probably wind up getting their other Masterforce figures.  Oh, they have a Chosen Prime-exclusive repaint of their God Ginrai, but in Delta Magnus colors.  

XTB had G2 repaints of their Groove and Streetwise, I think they're also exclusives.  There's also prototypes for Counterpunch, the Quintesson prosecutor, and Galvatron.  I do want Punch/Counterpunch.

Runabout and Runamuck, of which I'd like both.

And the first two of their Constructicons, Scrapper and Long Haul.  I've got mixed feelings about these... on the one hand, they look far more cartoon-accurate than ToyWorld's.  On the other hand, this is XTB we're talking here.  I don't know if I want to commit to the whole gang (especially when I suspect that MMC is planning one doing Devastator).

Oh, yeah, I guess Maketoys was technically there, too.  Nothing new or exciting, though, just a rainbow of TFSource-exclusive Seekers.

That's a damn fine looking Galvatron. And I'm not that big of a fan of the character.

To be fair....MS was going for the ultra toon look and pretty much nailed it, if you ask me.  

 

If you like the more "realistic" headlights, their previous offering looks fantastic as well.

I'm still on the fence on getting this.  I have both Light of Freedom and Transform Element's offering and don't need three Primes.  But, hot damn, this guy looks good.  I have his little brother that he's based on as well and it makes me want the bigger one even more knowing what a great figure that is.  Dammit, Magic Square!

Ya, I checked after I posted and saw other screen shots like those. Heck, I even found a couple that had no headlights at all lol.

Funny how selective my memory has gotten the older I get.

Agreed. Everything about it looks amazing and then there’s the headlights.  It’s rather off-putting 

I got excited too and I don't even collect anymore.

I'm digging that full alt mode. 👍

I think I may actually jump on this one. I haven’t bought a valk since the GBP HMR so I think I’m past due.

I don’t know about anybody else, but this pic looks straight out of The Last King of Scotland.

I'm really liking what I see except the perforations on the chest piece. Almost ruins it for me.

I really like her bot mode, but that alt mode is just wierd - I cant even tell which end is the front.

I’m a sucker for SD stuff, so depending on price I think I’m gonna have to track them down. I’m still kicking myself in the ass for passing on the Makuros
