DOTM Hatchet. No camera. Think I left it in the roof and I don't want to tempt fate and climb the ladder again.

G1 forever! woohoo...

Anyway, I noticed the ID numbers for Blue Bacchus and Black Shadow are weird, they are places right in the middle of Masterforce, although they were released in and for Victory...

eg:

D-307: Overlord
D-308: Browning
D-309: Black Shadow
D-310: Blue Bacchus
D-311: Black Zarak
D-312 to D-318: Seacons

Heh the irony of the whole security theme of the guy is that he's actually on the legit side of the "Trasformer" line (not sure how many people know about the "half a license" incident with GiG back in 84).


Thats really cool, nice one :)

Thanks. I find it interesting that he and MC-17 along with the MC-19 never made it into the Transformers line. They would have made for interesting counter-espionage characters .

Were you jena? I was indeed. Didn't know there was any diecast at all so was a big surprise. Kinda suddenly make the whole figure divine as if it's the real Him :p

I was pleasantly surprised by the weight of him. I knew it was diecast but I didn't realize it'd be so heavy. He's so much easier to handle because of that extra weight.

I am very much in love with MP Optimus, all the little details and gimmicks are wonderful! And I love the look of the battle damage this 20th anniversary one has.

Rhinox is a beautiful statue.. Hard Hero were delivering the best statues around this time.. unfortunaly it was towards the end of the lisence agreement and they didnt renew... i would of loved to see more beast wars particulary the waspinator that was planned to get released next...

In regards to the box, it was ripped open but thankfully it tore on the edges in fairly straight lines so I can technically re-assemble it with some sticky tape with the damage only visible on the would be box 'edges'.

which can range from anything depending on the company possibly 200 were pulled from the production run and inspected by the artist or the first 200 produced i do not think hard hero have explained what the AP means.. (usually a higher price)

WoW! So that's why it says "AP103/200". That's a nice surprise! I did think it was a little odd that there were only 200 statues of Rhinox made.

Cheers dude, I have been trying to fill a couple of gaps here and there with my G1 figures; I mean, there are gaping holes but I try to grab good deals when and where I see them. ;):cool:
I'm also extremely happy to now own both Euro Exclusive Transmetal Beast Wars figures, Spittor being my first MOSC BW figure in over a decade so that is quite a thing for me. :o

Here are some DOTM Human Alliance purchases I got from US. USPS Priority Mail International - arrived two weeks after purchase.

Human Alliance Roadbuster - red 88

http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/444/p1100525v.jpg (http://img51.imageshack.us/i/p1100525v.jpg/)

http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/5038/p1100531l.jpg (http://img854.imageshack.us/i/p1100531l.jpg/)

Variations on Roadbusters

- red 88 on its fenders has NASCAR logo and on the door banner - it has the Nextel NASCAR circular logo

- red 88 with white surounds on its fenders has Nextel NASCAR circular logo but no sticker on the door banner.

Very interesting the variations. Similar to RTS Starscream as one has a black head and the other silver.

Backing on both Roadbusters

I haven't spent money on TFs for months, except Amazon Unicron recently.

Just now, spent over $300 at BBTS... wallet hurts too much.

big update,
I've been pretty busy, and haven't updated this in a bit, so there are a couple stragglers from last month. I can't even remember if I've posted any of this up, if I'm repeating myself, please excuse the double up.

first up:

from canofwhoopass_87

http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l541/UltraMarginal/UltraMarginals%20phone%20pics/2011-10-03211333.jpg immaculate and complete. really nice, takes up sooo much space though.

a combination of haul from eBay and TFW2005's HighPrime.

The centrepiece of which is:

the disc on the front is a magnet, perfect for the fridge except I need it to hold the box together.:D

http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l541/UltraMarginal/UltraMarginals%20phone%20pics/2011-10-06195727.jpg

And Finally my second box from Botcon comes home and is opened up!!
My sister brought it back from the states for me as her second piece of luggage, luckily I put the polycarbonate panels in as the box suffered quite a beating. the Predaking box is a bit dinged but all the figures are OK.

Scorponok is HUUUGE, as you can see from the pictures his colours are really rich still. I am yet to tranform him into city mode but the robot mode towers adn the scorpion mode is pretty sweet if not a bit chunky. Alll of the joints are ratcheted and strong. the only bug bear I had was getting the visor on, felt like I was going to break something.

My biggest problem with him is having somewhere to display him properly at the moment. he's too big for the current cabinet set up.:eek:

When I get the chance which probably wont be for at least a couple months I'll try and do a review.

Glad to hear you're enjoying him man and that he is in great condition by the sounds of things ;):), I also had issues trying to display him for quite sometime before I just went and bought a whole new shelving unit. :p
Base mode is cool, but I think his Beast mode and Bot mode is where he shines the most, what ever you do though; don't muck about with Lord Zarak/Scorponok's arms (The Headmaster Eng/Jap) as they're stupidly fragile and very likely to break (As was the case with mine). :o

The Deceptiquiz book is the only one out of all of them that has some writing inside, its pencil though so i could prob remove it without too much hassle.

Thanks, yeah I've heard some real horror stories about TM Megs before.. But this one is unharmed so far, I was really careful transforming him though!

Rampage is actually terrifying, the Takara version is mostly made of translucent red plastic that makes him look like he's been drinking blood. And yes, having just transformed TM2 Megatron, I can safely say that having a metallic, asymetrical dragon on my shelf is one of the best things ever. :D

I didnt like the dinoskater version - plus I didnt want the hassle of dealing with BPS:o:p

Don't rule out the TM Rollerblade Megs. If you're scared of GPS, get hold of the Takara version. He's too good of a figure not to have.

I think Takara Rampage is closer to the mark colour-wise. But still a bit off in spots.

I definitely agree here, Goki very kindly proved it to me 1st hand that the Takara Release is the superior product but if you're not intending to muck around with Hasbro's version a lot then you should be right. ;)

Hmm, I don't know; I've always felt that the Hasbro version was way closer as the Takara version's silver paint apps are way off, that being said though it still is a stunning version of the figure/character. :)

What are your thoughts on the Starwars transformers.

What are your thoughts on the Starwars transformers.

They're "o.k".
They have very simple transformations (they almost feel like up-scaled legends).
The robot modes don't look too bad but they have balance issues and the alt modes are nice from the top but are just robots hanging underneath.
I would strongly recommend against paying full price for these but if you can get them for a discount and you like the look of the crossover line, give them a try. :)

In order of priority I'm sure. I might have another Transmutate soon, but I said that to 1orion about 6 months ago and he's still a week or two away from getting it :p

And I've been wanting a Transmutate from you as well :p

Congratulations dude! :D
He really is an awesome figure huh?; I love how he references G1 Galvatron in so many ways but also, Dragon-formers Rule! :p:cool:

What did you think of his Drill tank mode?

Aqua Prime
9th October 2011, 09:57 PM
Dragon-formers FTW!!!

I haven't attempted to put him in drill mode yet. But he's pretty good. I'll admit he was kind of an impulse buy, though I do like him.

He's no TM2 Megs though. He's kind of like the ultimate for me.

Oh yeah, no I agree there isn't a better Dragon-former than TM2 Megs that's for sure ;):cool:; I simply found Galvatron to be just a really fun Transformer to go from each of his various modes :), simply a great Transformer Toy but do be cautious: He has many a part constructed of GPS afflicted plastic! :o

As for me, a big thanks to Llamatron and also big thanks to iamtrunks for muling for me:D

Takara Anniversary Tigatron :)

Now Ive finally completed my show cast! - (except for Ravage and Transmutate of course) Would've loved a TM Tigatron but being a Botcon exclusive , is just too expensive. pardon the lighting he's quite all white in person...and the metallic paint of the bluegreen parts are so ... wow! Makes the figure quite elegant looking in bot mode.

It's before the show.

They use AEC molds mostly, IIRC. Cheetor was Clocker. I think Primal was Crumplezone, and Rhinox was Armada Hoist perhaps?

I love the Botcon comics, and I did quite like the old Universe issues.

I do wish they'd do collections of the club comics. Wait a few years so members get the perk, then release it in a nice collection that members and non-members might want.

I assumed being a "RID" Prime he'd suffer from cracked tyres. Even my Cybertron 2 pack re-release with Ultra Magnus suffered from cracked tyres.

2004/2005 Doesn't feel that long ago, but then you realize it's 2011. Where has the time gone? Even RID doesn't feel that long ago.

Cheetor: Cybertron Clocker (new head)
Rhinox: Cybertron Landmine
Rattrap: Cybertron Ransack
Tigatron: Cybertron Clocker (same head as Cheetor)
Airazor: Energon Slugslinger (new head)

Megatron: Cybertron Defence Red Alert (new head)
Dinobot: Cybertron Longrack (Armada Hoist head)
Waspinator: Machine Wars Skywarp/Thundercracker
Laserbeak: Energon Divebomb
Buzzsaw: Energon Divebomb

(and for the sake of it, despite no toy)
Tarantulas: Cybertron Ransack (new head)

What always makes me chuckle is people complaining about the price points on the Hasbro products compared to size but when it comes to a third party product are willing to pay 2,3 sometimes 4 times as much for an equivalent sized item. People will say "but the 3rd parties items are far better quality". I'm sure Hasbro could put out items for the same price and just as good quality but of course you would then get people complaining about the price even though they'd pay that for a third party just because it's Hasbro:rolleyes:

UltraMarginal
14th October 2011, 02:00 PM
I'm yet to see a third party product that is twice the quality of an equivalent HasTak Product. let alone 4 - 5 times.

generally the 3rd party stuff is more expensive due to smaller production runs and less distribution of developement costs.

Theoretcally over time these costs should reduce, but only time will tell if it's passed on to the collector.

wow man :eek: they must have been fun to apply! Steady as she goes...

I got some more stuff today too...

*snip*

Got the glow in the dark poster with it too which was a nice bonus

*snip*

1. MIB Sandstorm
2. Overdrive
3. Stealth Lockdown
4. Snarl and Swoop, thus completing my Dinobots

Cheers man! :D
It sure did take a while and some extreme patience but eventually got there in the end... Holy crap man, nice finds! :eek:

That's a sweet score with Sandstorm, being complete with everything, but also Overdrive, Snarl and Swoop? - Massive congratulations too on completing your Dinobots! :D:cool:


Hey Hursti, maybe it's my eyesight, but I think you applied this sticker upside-down...

*Sigh... Yep, well spotted man; 1 second whilst I go beat my head against a wall? :o:p
(Argh!, it all went so well, taking my time and all, I knew something would have to go wrong :rolleyes:)

What always makes me chuckle is people complaining about the price points on the Hasbro products compared to size but when it comes to a third party product are willing to pay 2,3 sometimes 4 times as much for an equivalent sized item. People will say "but the 3rd parties items are far better quality". I'm sure Hasbro could put out items for the same price and just as good quality but of course you would then get people complaining about the price even though they'd pay that for a third party just because it's Hasbro:rolleyes:

+1.

I know why 3rd Parties are more expensive, but I still totally agree with this statement. :)

As I typically seem to approach things, the hard way :rolleyes::p, there weren't any tweezers used but just a pair of pins. :eek::D
I could indeed pull it off, as Reprolabels had the forethought and extra space on the sheet to include a backup just in case of mistakes, but it's such a minute detail I reckon I'll probably just leave it as it is... What do you think? :)

DOTM Skywarp from Kyle, Sideburn from Tets and and the miniformers from llamatron.

Also picked up this nifty shelving unit from Fantastic Furniture on the way home from Nexus. Now I can store more crap and its still not enough room *sigh* Anyway might look at another one and I am deciding on whether to have it across the room or down and split the room. Ill work it out tomorrow when I grab another one.

I've never been a massive fan of the Star Wars Cross Overs, however, the moment I set eyes on this guy, I wanted to get him. For some reason, this appeared to be a TRU exclusive, and at $80 RRP I couldnt justify him. However, Tober was kind enough to post a 20% off voucher and for $64 I could justify the purchase. So here he is!

Yup, they are quite different from the Coffee figures in terms of detail and design. The Coffee figures are much closer to their G1 animated counterparts, where these figures are more detailed, but not that G1 anime accurate (but still accurate if you get what I mean).



The master of the 'Seek & Acquire' technique has displayed his prowess once again! :eek::eek:, A bloody nice find with those Headmasters HD congratulations - Kirku! :D

Yes, HMs were very hard to find. I had to buy them off a guy in the Nethelands. Very happy that I have the genuine ones now, especially after the disappointment in Osaka where the shop were selling the KOs at genuine prices (which I didn't buy of course).

I've been after this guy for quite a while. I'm glad to finally have him, and he's just as awesome as I had hoped.

It was always going to be a quiet month for me.

No pics because my camera's not charged, but so far, my haul is: Revoltech movie Optimus Prime

Alternity Thundercracker (my first Alternity figure. It was cheap at HLJ)

TF Generations 2011 vol 2

TF Collection 2010 (Don't know how I missed this one)

IDW Classics vol 1 (I have all the Titan ones, but meh. Figured I may as well pick this up too. I'm a whore for this sort of stuff. It's nice that IDW is collecting all the issues now, they'd always had a good relationship with Marvel, so that seemed a tad odd).

That's it so far, and I don't think there'll be much more, except the extra Encore Ratchet and Ironhide I got from BBTS seeing they were only $20.

BB with Starscream is what they were called when repainted as Predacons for Beast Wars (in the abandoned colour scheme originally intended in G2 as Megatron and Starscream). RiD reused the moulds again as Dreadwind and Smokejumper. Then RM reused them again as Gigant Bomb and Smokesniper. Phwoar!

I have been wanting this for a long time but shipping costs made it prohibitive. Thankfully I found an auction with decent shipping and went for it:

Hard Hero Rhinox!

Thankfully the figure was undamaged on the way. As always happens to me with anything Beast Wars I import, customs opened the box and made a mess of it. They ripped open the statue box but thankfully they did not damage the inner foam and therefore the statue.

Nice.


Welcome to the Club! It's a very exclusive club, I think it's you, me and Sharky!


Not just you guys. Unable to find a good representation of Rhinox, I just had to get one of these. Absolutely gorgeous, I just wish I had the other characters too.


Rhinox is a beautiful statue.. Hard Hero were delivering the best statues around this time.. unfortunaly it was towards the end of the lisence agreement and they didnt renew... i would of loved to see more beast wars particulary the waspinator that was planned to get released next...

Hard Hero are still my favorite series of statues!!

Agreed. It's a pity they didn't do more. I still need to hit up my holy grail, Hard Hero Megs. Hard to find. A pity they didn't do more b/c unlike the other co's that had the licence, they went for (and achieved) a genuine classic look that was homage to the character and their shows.

Well mine doesnt have any - did you mean the square hole next to the turret on his viewmaster weapon? That in mine is just a square hole. I bought this one from Parra fair (cheapcheap heheh) after scavenging through a box on the floor of one of the stallholders. I believe it doesn't have any clear plastic covering it there. Of course I could be wrong, so best to have another person who has one check as well.
