Me neither. Frankly, with how Cosmos turned out, maybe they'll do the same sort of thing with Powerglide? Knowing that there's already a really dead-on G1 version out there (this), maybe... Or maybe it'll be a bit smaller, which would be nice. This one is as tall as some of the deluxes out there, which matches the cartoon a lot
Yeah, I'm thinking about selling or trading off that Cosmos, to be quite honest.
Even if we don't get a new one, I could see iGear releasing a darker green version at least.
Weird.
One thing I've never understood from Reprolabels is the option to make new figures look more like G1 toys... But then again, these are made for customizing, so you can leave off whatever stickers you want.
I've been meaning to pick up a few sets - they do look quite nice, for the most part.
Are darker backgrounds harder to photograph?
I'm just getting into the whole "lightbox thing". I took some pics of a few TFs - I'll post them here after work.
I do have some pics of Sideshow's Crimson Guard up on my blog though - got any advice?
excellent pics Deak
they sell the figure well.
I actually use a black piece of cloth I got a walmart for abot $2. Ive been meaning to switch to a more grey brown similar to Deak Starkiller's background.
I started off with the black because I like the shadows and I like my photos sort of dark, but at the same time Ive been wanting to mess around with a lighter background. Deaks photos look really crisp and clean.
I'm surprised Hasbro did not shorten the smokestacks on this one.
Since they just released MP-10 in the states, I find it hard to criticize Hasbro/Takara for doing a nu-Optimus figure. They satisfied me, and other G1 fans pretty well with that figure. Now, they can go on to their Bay-influenced Primes for another 2-3 years at least before I will direct my entitlement-fueled anger at them for not giving me another updated G1 figure
Cant get enough of these guys: (giggity)
Ones for customizing the others for my collection but i cant decide if i should go fully movie accurate, re-doing the wings and the thrusters and guns, or just complimenting the fantastic design of this toy with a nice paintjob.
It almost seems a shame to cut it all up to make it movie accurate, thats why i cant decide.
Any thoughts?
This is also my favorite Optimus toy! Can't wait to see what you do with it!
Due to the ever decreasing space in my cabinets and on my shelves I moved a few later series characters in with my series 1 group,
A reshuffle every now and then is no bad thing and I've also managed to get the Coneheads off a dusty shelf and into a cabinet,
Thats some MP goodness right there !!! Looks GREAT !!
Nice work buddy
Bob
Thank you sir!
I present a new Seeker variant,
Obicracker!
Prime should stomp that loser's head.
Prime should stomp that loser's head.
I totally agree.
Damn, those coneheads look really nice!
You even have Obi-cracker posed for ultra slow lift-off like in IM1.
Might there be a Starkswipe variant lurking about?
Congrats on getting Monger!
