Buy a Skullsmasher, wonder if I got a good hips one

Leg falls out as I'm taking him out of the package, welp

What's the part that pops out, the balljoints or the hip swivels?

...both?

Mine could use some future when I dig him out.

My real Winner Of The lovely Hips Sweepstakes is RTS/HFTD/last wave of ROTF Brawn, the shellformery one with the two pistols that turned into a big pickup truck. Dude's big beefy shoulder joints are what his hips shoulda been.

He's probably gonna be too wide for a Detolf.

Yeah, that's true. The regular one I haven't even tried to fit in a detolf because of the height, but his width is pretty significant and he barely fits as is.

He's really cool, like a really fun late-G1 dude but, like, posable. He even has a little neck movement, thanks to a balljoint beneath his engine block zone.

Score of the day! At a toy show with my dad who's here dealing. He pulls this box of loose TFs from the back of the car that I've never seen before. Turns out he bought the whole box at a car boot sale recently and never got around to showing me. I'm looking through, and it's mostly movie TFs, legends/legion scale, a couple of TFP ones, a few PCC singles. But there amongst them, a complete DINOPOPE! :toot:

One of my big wants for freeeee. My weekend will have to come up trumps to top that.

Now that they've made a great Blaster and Blurr, my top wants have been updates of Deluxe Perceptor and Ratchet. Halfway there!

Abominus and Predaking could easily share a ton of parts, it kinda surprised me they didn't go with them originally.

And then of course make a Dinopope out of them.

Got that YOTM Primal Prime. Never had the Air Attack mold before but for $40 shipped this is a great big chunk of toy. Simple but kind of inventive transformation, goofy but fun deco, dumb gimmicks that are localized rather than pervasive...

If he had thigh swivels he'd be pretty superb.

Kind of crazy that the original price was $150. Mine is waiting for me at home but I won't have time to mess with it until tomorrow night.

So I pledge'd up my Skullsmasher and now that he can hold a pose I still gotta admit he's probably the worst of wave 1. On the plus side, his titan master is fantastic looking, probably the best of wave 1.

Also, saying this again: Buy a paintbrush and a fill an empty aspirin bottle. Watching videos of people applying pledge with tooth picks is hilarious, but I wouldn't wish an act of stupidity on that scale upon any of you. It's fluid acrylic, not some mysterious elixir from beyond planet X.

Just found Chromedome and Mindwipe at a Walgreens. Chromedome is... boring as hell. also, mine, his chest piece drags the ground. Or more specifically, the tabs that keep it on his chest drag the ground. And his leg came off. At his thigh mushroom peg, weirdly. Meh. Mindwipe, however, is loving genius. Admittedly, I was looking forward to Mindwipe more, but still.

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.
Ugh the only place I've found Mindwipe and friends is at Walgreens where they're $20 goddamn dollars.
