Hooked

[fatalportrait]

Hey folks,

New to the board. I've only recently gotten into collecting figures. Probably because I've also recently gotten a full-time job as well. I find myself with excess money to spend, and a man's got to have hobbies.

So I've mainly been limiting myself to NECA figures, and Hasbro Marvel legends figures. While browsing around my local haunts, I came across a Hasbro Masterpiece Starscream. Now, I'm not going to lie, I can't say I'm a diehard TF fan (in my defence, I tend not to be big into any fandoms... I don't have the time or energy), however, when it comes to certain characters, I will love and adore them to death. Case in point, Starscream. There's something so perfect about Starscream's aesthetic... from the colour scheme, to the alternate mode, to the build of his head, the null rays on his arms, and on and on.

Back to the story, so I bought my very first Transformer toy that day (back in the day, I was rather limited to playing with my friends' Transformers... I wonder how much they would fetch now?)! And so, I want more. I've added a few more Starscreams in the meantime: a Revoltech figure (love the poseability and portrayal, wish it were bigger!), and a myclone (just because they're cute).

So hey to everyone, I like what I see already :D

They taste bad though. ;) Intentionally so; MyClones all have a special coating that's designed to taste bitter to infants to induce them to spit out any small parts that they put in their mouthes. :cool:

Really?

I'm going to have to go test that.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I must say, I have been on a forum that has been so receiving in a long, long time.

Acid Storm does look very striking. Plus, no hip kibble :)

I won't ever be able to look at Myclones without thinking about that now.

Yeah, Soundwave is another favourite. He just oozes cool. Keeping an eye out for those MPs.

Only other stuff I'm into are NECA figures, Marvel Legends, some Play Arts. Trying to get into a bit of everything.

Welcome to the boards, Starscream is one genuinely likable charcter, from G1 to Prime writers have had fun with him. I wonder how many people have now licked their MyClones? Good one Gok, a nice bit of info :cool:

[CBratron]

Myth Confirmed.

Apparently not just infants then...

[Sinnertwin]

Myth Confirmed.

Why, man, why?!?! :p :D

[Cat]

That cracked me up. :D


Why, man, why?!?! :p :D

I was curious!

Someone had to try it.

In the name of SCIENCE!

Weren't you curious if it was true?

I TOOK ONE FOR THE TEAM.

Can't say that i was curious, but i have no doubts about you licking a plastic toy for 'scientific' purposes. None.
:p

[Cat]

Which reminds me.

FS: One slightly sticky MyClone.
