The 3rd party acquisitions thread!

Received my FP Weirdwolf & Brainstorm. Not messing with the fake names since there'll never be a better representation of the characters in my collection (especially now they've donned their emblem stickers!)

I'm really happy with both. They're not perfect figures if you want to get picky - not everything tabs perfectly on Weirdwolf, and some articulation limitations that could have been avoided. But they are ingenious, beautiful pieces that really stand out on the shelf. I absolutely love the rich colour and material quality.

Pricey but worth it, i've been waiting for a re-imagined Headmasters (and Animated Bulkhead does NOT count!) since i got back into collecting. I have vague memories of playing with my friends' HM's when i was a kid... Mindwipe and Skullcruncher if memory serves.

Will definitely be down for FP Mindwipe now and really hope they continue with more! In the meantime i'm trying to see how i can muster some extra cred with the wife for Chromedome...!

I don't have a problem. If I hold the figure horizontally by its feet, it doesn't bend until I start shaking it.

Looks like a screw goes straight through the axis of the knee joint and can always be tightened if there is a problem.

Yeah no problems with him at all.

Bii, Caelus, and Maniaking arrived today.

Happy with all, but would love a replacement canon for not-Galvatron...

I'll do better pics when I get a chance

My little friend arrived today and WOW........









And comparison next to MP Soundwave who is a bit stumped why the decepticons need a bot that big.

They are great aren't they? You know who you need to go with them? PE Warden

Indeed, i felt that the first time i saw those pics!
A bit too pricey for right after a big purchase, but i hope I can still find one at an opportune moment!

Oh man, Cranky! - Congrats to be the 1st bloke to post pics of this awesome figure, I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my own and these pics don't make the wait any easier... and I'm perfectly fine with that.

I was scratching my head thinking what matrix would be appropriate for Mania King to hold.

Bingo: the small one inside Masterpiece Rodimus. Figured I'd borrow it from the one I have in alt mode. Fits like a dream in hand, although i don't have a suitable chain for it. Added bonus of it being in-hand? I don't miss the arm articulation on display!
