Picked up a few neat items this month.
haven't stickered him up yet and don't know if I will. Maybe I'll give him some paint instead. His shoulders don't hold together as well as I would like, after posing the arms I sometimes need to squeeze them back together. The arm articulation allows for some very dynamic gestures. They have really positioned the hinges just right, even the mid-forearm one which allows for that extra movement but suprisingly doesn't look awkward unless you push it over about 45 degrees. The Arms Micron he comes with is an interesting little trinket but it certainly didn't make me want to invest in any more AM's. It looks silly on him so I leave it aside. Honestly the main reason I got AM Megatron instead of hunting down the Entertainment pack version is because I thought the Micron might go well with Voyager Megs, but it has a disproportionately long handle and looks like a massive protrusion.
Ratchet is a great figure. He compacts down very well into vehicle mode and his 'bot mode feels solid and has a lot of articulation. Highly recomended. My only complaint is that his collar forces his head to tilt when you turn it, but this can be rectified by taking a small stanley knife or other cutting impliment and shaving plastic out from where his chin bumps against the collar. Altogether I am very impressed. He is one of my favourite Prime figures.
And yay! Got these earlier this month. MTMTE is a great series, both in story and artwork. Also highly recommended.
Also I, uh, may have ordered 3 Prime RID Vehicons off of ebay >.>
So many recent classy pickups, not sure if these are in the league. New wave TFPrime legions and Ratchet and Arcee from Toy Kingdom Fountain Gate (Vic). Not sure why Soundwave should transform into the movie version BMW? The letter-bots are a bit of a laugh but so cute they're irresistable!
