January's stuff

[loophole]

As with last year, Jan has started with a bang once more. I certainly have stuff... but no real time to take photos or talk about them as yet...

some nice stuff there but nothing as nice as a D-50 would be

D50 is very rare and extremely difficult to find on sale individually. I do however have the D50 instructions to comfort myself with.... Heh

IDW Collection volume 5 arrived today.

Meh. AHM. Hard to hide my lack of enthusiasm for that.

It's just another addition to my shelf porn. (Which I'm REALLY out of room for).

I don't normally do pics but I guess this one's kinda special. As you can see he's pretty beat up, sheds chrome like a real cat sheds hair, and his legs are really loose at the hip, so if possible I'll probably send him off to one of our customiser crew at some point for some TLC and purtification.
Pics are front view, rear view, close up rear view to show his 'battle damage', and one of Ravage and MP10.

Still seems like an awesome deal to me.

Hips - easily fixable.

Chrome flaking - fairly easily fixed, but I wouldn't take advice from me on what's the best sealant.

In today: HA Soundwave.

Odie: Those aren't the original colours for Ravage's guns either. Someone's painted those silver.　Here is what the guns should look like. Shouldn't be that hard to strip the paint off them. Ah well, guess we know why that toy was cheap. At least the damage is only cosmetic. Btw, did you get his tail/weapon? (the same tail-weapon that comes with Transmetal Cheetor, but in a different colour - looks like this and this. I also assume that his jets are still in tact?

For $15 that is still a bargain. This is a very expensive figure after all. The tail may be missing but you have the guns which are exclusive to this figure! But why are they silver? Is that a custom job or something? They are supposed to be a creamy grey.

On top of that, despite his flaws, he looks structurally complete so it's very much a doable restoration job. You can get a tail from TM2 Cheetor and repaint it.

Very awesome overall!

If all else fails G, you're in the right part of the world to either track down parts for him, or another complete one!

No TF Collection is complete without one!

*Dreamily stares at his Ravage...*

My first notable acquisition in about 4 months. Simply because we're in such a dry spell (and SAL from Japan took 6 weeks...)



(okay, I did buy myself a unit in that time, so I'm not complaining!)
