Takara Reissue Targetmaster Hot Rod - Thanks hanprimus!
From ebay: Galaxyforce Rambles once again but more
Red Ramble, Yellow Ramble and another (not for me) Blue Ramble
Since PhantomZone Chatswood sold out of all of their transformers issues for the 2nd week in a row, I got a mate of mine to grab me:
Spotlight: DoubleDealer
AHM #2
Animated #1: The Arrival
I've got the recent JP reissue of OP, which has beautiful metallic silver and red paint, but the head with faceplate down (and beast mask). I think the chest is a bit different to the older figures as well.. but i'm the opposite, SilverDragon, i'd prefer the faceplate up head of llamatron's figure)!
They're awesome but Meg's head is ever so slightly off - it's a bit too squashed. Still, they look gorgeous in person.
I personally like the new heads (and paint job) much better than the original. That also goes for Primal's Gorilla head which looks more realistic and menacing.
Whoever resculpted those figures did and excellent job and Hasbro did an awesome overall job with the 10th anniversary line.
You're joking right? hasbro did a pathetic job with the 10th Ann line. It was as if they were painting them from memory. The people at Takara however, very nice.
I got the hasbro ones just to get the bits to Transmutate but have since sold them and got the Takara ones which are superb, plus the incentive of Tigatron and Black Arachnia which Hasbro didn't do.
I agree with Verno. The Hasbro BW reissues were fail.
I bought some Transmutate parts 2nd hand from people who got the reissues but didn't want the parts, I picked up Waspinator (he's the only Hasbro reissue that I thought was okay) and I grabbed Dinobot for the Transmutate part and sold the toy off to kuzzy. :p I got the Takara reissues of Dinobot and Cohrada and they are niiiiiiiiice. It's cool how they come with DVDs too. :D The animé-nerd in me gets off from listening to a lot of the famous voice actors in the Japanese dub (especially those from Weiss Kreuz like the bishilicious Koyasu Takehito!) :D

When it comes to the BW 10th Anniversary line, I really don't mind them. I know that Takara did a much better job but Hasbro's were still rather good in my oppinion and I prefer their paint jobs more than the originals even if Hasbro did not do them no where near as cartoon accurate as Takara.
Got these items all thanks to iceburn! Heeeheee... :D Thanks again dear bro! I really like your Protectabots and Stunticons! Next time I wanna transform them myself, heehee.. Also thanks to hanprimus for the MISB Grapple. :)

Got to say the G1 Hot Rod is in good shape! Still looks like a pretty new figure, if it weren't for the the sticker peeling a little on the leg and the original character card and the 1985 printed on the figure, I would have thought it was a reissue! Cyb Undermine to complete my list of Cybertron cartoon-only characters.
Awesome! Who ended up with the Scorponok?
That G1 Hot Rod is in fabulous condition there mel!
*slaps forehead* ah that's right! I got reissue Dinobot because I was planning on using it to repair my BW Grimlock, but then I found out that the part I wanted to use couldn't be removed so I gave up and ended up selling the toy complete near mint in box!Quote:

Plus they wanted to release X-9 Ravage as part of the line but *someone* lost the mold.
GOOD HAUL Iceburn and friends:eek:
I've heard this 'lost mould' rumours shite before. They said that they'd lost the mould for original Rattrap, thats why they released the TM version.
Has anyone checked with the BotCon people? It seems that whatever glorious BW figures get spat on for that convention the mould then dissapears. And now the same with Ravage.
(Although the Ravage one dissappearing might not be so bad, for those of us who have one, cos now they're worth more :P)
Amzing haul there Iceburn. :eek:
My Parramatta fair haul.
Thanks to Kyle and Liegeprime for the minibots.
