treatment

some snapshots while watching from a 7" tablet...

not bad, i say.

Asuka version came in December last year:

I don't even like Rei so no interest in that one, but I'd have a hard time resisting the Auska even though it's crazy expensive, I don't have the money to pay for it, and I don't think I've got room for it anyways.

WOW!

If only I'd known about that Asuka then...

I say, get all the official versions...

anybody ordering this?

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-000069

looks neat.

wonder if there's an Asuka...

I agree that Quakewave's the best available Shocky to get. Quite expensive for a 3p, tho.

As such, the best official Shocky is still:

Scales rather nicely with Springer and Blaster.

oh, hai thar!

old-school awesome...

US Navy Drone launch on Carrier!

Hello, Macross Zero ghosts era!

edit:

oh, obligatory equivalent Macross Zero Ghosts clip:

already told he's quite short to be a Seeker, Blitzy then auditions himself to "Jetfire" for the exclusive and uber-badass GERWALK-mode A-stance club of the famous yammie Macross Valkyries...

Blitzwing prolly needs to visit the Battletech/Mechwarrior-franchise next to audition for a Cauldron-Born role...

Wreck-Gar: My 'stache really is more epic than your's, Scourge...

Optimus: triple-changers, meet _THE_ triple-changer par excellence:

Damn, Blitzwing's jet mode looks all hollow and gappy from the top.

Yup. Blitzy's jet-mode is gappy and stuff. You can try raptormesh's suggestion of going full-loadout on him with his sword, gun, and turret, tho:

Blitzy's jet-mode also features his most critical flaw: gummy nosecone...

The only way I know how to get the gummy nosecone less gappy (without diy surgery) is to do this:

Imho, the gummy nosecone flaw is more fatal than the shoulder-tab issue. Hasbro's choice of both materials and materials' quality is quite unfortunate. Maybe Takara will use better plastic and stuff for their versions of Blitzy and Springer.

Honestly, I was already quite meh on Blitzy's jet-mode from the first online pics coz it was quite an unhappy departure from his simpler diaclone/G1 jet-form. The gummy nosecone-issue just adds to the meh-ness.

Regardless, for a $22.99 triple-changing figure, the flaws are mostly tolerable. I don't feel like I got jacked severely like I felt with my FoC-Grimlock purchase.

having more fun with Blitzy:

movie-chars reunion, and Kup having fun re-enacting with Blitzy...

dafuq?

MWF being trolled...

Would you say that springer and blitz are better than tfp shockwave?

I don't have tfp-shocky to compare, so I can't really say.

At any rate, moar pics of Blitzy in tank-mode (my fave mode). With Warpath!

So I played with Springer more by getting him into his other modes and...

Holy crap is he gaps-happy in chopper and vehicle modes!

His pegs don't quite want to peg itself properly, too. Especially the main windshield and the back thigh-covers. The yellow-paint on his fenders easily smudges as well.

From what I read here and other forums, I really thought Blitzy's the one who's gonna trigger some latent OCD in me. Yet it was Springer who's quite annoying me now.

Despite all that criticisms, I really like Springer and he's really worth his msrp. Even being a bit gap-happy and stuff, it still is a very darn awesome toy! I just think I like Blitzy a bit more now than yesterday, tho. Springer's bot-mode is already pretty super.

Definitely both are way ahead in worthiness and way way better in every aspects than my highly disappointing F(AIL)oC-Grimlock.

moar pics!

the new "Generations"...

a little short for a Seeker...

dude, you've got the touch to have grown taller since the movie...

scored these at lunch today:

Bow before...

HA!

Finally have a completed Seekers set:

My Classics and MPs versions are always missing one of them...

So I've gone Teletraan on these Kreo thingies from yesterday...

Decepticons:


Autobots:


teletraan lazy:


Screamer and Skywarp were the mystery figures. Darn Seekers. Go figure. Unfortunately, now I gotta find Thundercracker for completion...

At any rate, I must admit these Kreo thingies are just damn KEWL!

still a little iffy on these guys, but they were relatively cheap at amzn, so...

might have to just gift it to the kids.

Well, here's Swindle doing a handstand.

Coz he can.

With his doors.

Yeah...

Nice! I got the black one coming too

Yeah. Black Convoy is totally nice.

Unfortunately for me, ...
