I like the Mospeada custom even more knowing that this is the factory transformation:

I think I'd actually pay good money to see these. And not just as matinees.

whoa... er...write your own caption to this one...

cute as a button.

You're killin' me bigkid24!!!

THAT IS FAN-F**KING-TASTIC!!!!

Man, those cards were the best! I had that as my avatar for a while. And I'm with Blaine. Valks were made to transform dammit.

er...the guy from DOA. Zack, right? He's so cool.

HA! I love that guy's expression!

MUST... OBEY...

Brilliant. Touché!

Quick answer as to why it's done randomly like this: $$$ Another way to think of it is like baseball cards. Think of how many people would love to just get the baseball cards they WANT rather than go to the trouble of sifting, trading and hoping to get! But I'm totally wih you, I WISH they didn't do it either, especially at their price points. But several Japanese toy companies currently are, and I just deal with it. Simply, as long as we keep paying for it, they'll keep doing it. But damn that chase cockpit is sweeeet! I love mine!

hmmm... Although I like the idea of him having a shoulder mounted missle launcher like the G1 characters used to, I also liked how for the Binaltach/Alternators, Takara was trying to keep everything contained within the vehicle, with weapons from engines, exhausts, etc... It just felt cleaner and smarter than having arbitrary weapons attached to a normal looking car mode. But that's just my opinion. But since they decided to do it, I wonder why they didn't use 2 shoulder mounted missle launchers instead of 1 like the OG G1 characters had?

Looks good to me!!! Maybe this is still early work on the Monster. It does seem a little 'plain' and 'flat' right now. Nothing that a few factory applied stickers/tampos couldn't easily fix though.

Is this from a really popular anime series? 'Cause I sure don't know what it's from...

another cardboard costume...

Man, I swear your costume is the best. Was it just a moment of inspiration or months of planning? Inquiring minds want to know!

Now THAT is a great display setup, Haterist. I really like that a LOT!

night shift nurses?

me-ow!

more DOA...

very VERY nice!

Not to mention that $2 is a "special" price! But i DO understand that this is someone totally doing it as a fan and not really mass-producing it in huge ass quantities. Great that they figured it all out though. Pretty cool seeing 'em all next to Soundwave.

Congratulations to you and your wife!!! :) Nothing but good wishes to you both and the newest member of the family.
