Anyone concerned? ;) Anyway, he was on the table in the first place because I was taking this shot:

Very, very nice :) I'm still waiting on Artfire, and would like a Pyro/Spark/Botcon 2010 boxset without having to pay eBay prices.Quote:

Nice one Gok! Mine is still in my POL:D while Hotspot's at Phil heheehehe. Did you get Stepper too?
Eeehhh... not yet convinced that I want Hot Spot. I initially just wanted Classicsverse Inferno and Grapple. I got Pyro because it's cheaper than getting an original that's likely to fall apart on me (having said that, Pyro cost me $80, making him my most expensive exclusive toy [and one of the most expensive toys I've ever paid for in relative terms (i.e. compared to RRP)). I got Artfire for similar reasons... I'm not willing to pay the aftermarket prices for the G1 toy - $62 for United Artfire is a much more agreeable alternative.Quote:

If he were a new mould like Silverbolt and Onslaught I'd definitely get him, but as a retool/repaint... eh. :o Maybe if he's still cheap when I've got nothing else to save up for or buy (currently still saving for Encore Fort Max!)
Nah, I didn't bother preordering it because I already have reissue G1 Stepper, and I'm really not that big a fan of the RtS Jazz mould (the non-locking chest thing really bugs me), so I passed it and I haven't been able to find one at a price that I'm willing to pay ($50 is the most I've ever paid for an exclusive Deluxe). The cheapest Stepper I found was for about $70-80ish in Japan last year... for a Deluxe?!? Pppfftt... easy pass. Sure, in hind sight I wish I'd preordered Stepper and just gotten him at the original RRP (4700JPY/AU$51)... but I didn't know at the time that they would do a United Artfire later. If I could predict the future, I'd retire and win every Lotto game. :) So all things considering, I'm happy with what I've got. :)Quote:

Kickback vs Ultra Magnus

I tried to give Kickback a more 'feral' or 'frenzied' animalistic looking fighting style
Ultra Magnus Vs Kickback
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...kickback05.jpg
Here I've tried to give Magnus a more "disciplined" looking fighting style, striking a solid stance (as best as I could with the toy's articulation anyway)
Ultra Magnus kicks back! :p

Even with all of Kickback's funky extra limbs, all Ultra Magnus needs to do is get a good hold of just one of those limbs and he can control the rest of Kickback's body (as I'm sure folks here with any experience in grappling may appreciate ;))

Nice photography! Very nice set of Henkei/United guys. I didn't get a closer look at United Straxus before getting Generations Darkmount, in hindsight I think I would have preferred this one - his face looks much nicer.Quote:

Hmm, is there way to edit and resize photos? I don't want to break the tables.
edit: oh nevermind, I had to unlock those options.
^ Very nice! I was just watching the S3 episode "Chaos" the other day, with Kup, Grimlock, Wheelie, Blurr and Wreck-gar fighting the Predacons, so it was funny to see that first pic of yours :)
Have you had a chance to look into the iGear Kup heads for kup? :)
I had a friend help me out on that one, we pooled the total then split; she got the cy-gar smoking head and I ended up with his regular grinQuote:
