Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Is Generations Drift a good figure? He looks pretty good and from what I've read in the review thread he seems pretty nice. His Blurr redeco looks nice as well. Should I get him?

Very nice figures, both characters work well with that mould.

Both Drift and Blurr are nice figures. Blurr might not look like much from the images but is far more convincing once you have him in-hand.

TFCC Shattered Glass Drift is quite nice too if you can find one at a sensible price.

All three look quite nice together as well, even though they are the same toy, they look vastly different, especially if you Takara Blurr, which can be cheaper than the Hasbro version nowadays.

Drift/Blurr is one of my favourite Generations figure... SG Drift is a great homage to Deadpool

Is there a difference between the Takara G1 key chain TFs and the other version (Fun something)?

As far as i know, these were manufactured by Fun 4 All and packed in both Hasbro & Takara markets -although Takara's were blindpacked.

You can determine if they're legitimate by checking their copyright stampings, i think it was something like F4A Hasbro 200X
Bumble and Cliff will have theirs under their feet
Windcharger's is on his wheel and
Braun's is on his rear door

I've just noticed that G1 cartoons which used to be free for view on Youtube, now comes with a disclaimer saying that it's not available for viewing in Australia. WTH. When did this happen?

I've got all the original episodes locked up somewhere, but from time to time would like to just stream a few snippets, battles scenes or half episodes to watch on the go..

I discovered that as well.

On the other hand, Takaratomy is uploading Beast Wars and G1 to youtube and can watch them no problems.

I saw the same thing the other day, when I was wanting to quickly verify a phrase from a first-season episode. Really weird.

How many redeco of Ruination have there been over the years?

Madman clamping down on their "distribution rights" I bet.
