It can go with my 3d Optimus Prime coin.

I think they just have backdrops printed onto the packaging material and not as seperate inserts.

Yeah but none of the other core class dudes I bought had backdrops - the packaging was pretty plain. I was just wondering if this will be a thing going forward.

So the DNA Designs upgrade kit for Legacy Menasor is up at BBTS and... this one isn't too impressive, IMO. The kit mostly seems to be justification for the articulated hands. I feel the gun is a lost cause, it's fine as a turret, and the chest plate and shoes are... nice, I guess.

I've only been dipping my toes in IDW TF stuff here and there (I've read pretty much all of the stuff Nick Roche wrote and some random other stories) but one thing I've noticed is that during what a lot of fans seem to feel is the best era of IDW TF (i.e. Phase 2) you basically had a situation where the main writer and the main editor were the same guy (John Barber), facilitated by having another guy (Carlos Guzman) serve as editor specifically only on stuff Barber was writing while Barber edited stuff written by everyone else, and from a lot of reactions I've seen a lot of cracks started to show once Barber stepped down as editor (right at the start of the Revolution stuff) and initially Guzman started editing everyone else's stuff (before being replaced by a guy then-freshly promoted from being an assistant editor)

Mine is fine, I've seen that sort of staining before, It looks like they've done a sloppy wash and then cleaned the dried excess off with a little bit of alcohol (Possibly hand sanitiser) to help.

If they're in a room where someone smokes it can stain surprisingly fast.

They've also done some in with a marker, which can also cause staining.

Don't be lazy with your washes, people!

Pulse UK lists stuff as sold out before it goes on sale. I don't know why they do it but it has made me very sad in the past, only to then realise I was stupid and didn't need to be sad at all.

He is. I saw him the other day here in Iowa. Almost got him as he looks surprisingly good, but ultimately passed.

Edit: Sorry, missed the UK bit. He's out in the States.

The giant sword and the hands are cool. The chest plate and the giant shoes are....fine, I guess? I don't think Menasor needs the added height and the existing chest doesn't need a replacement imo, but they're fine. The attempt at trying to combine the turret stand and the gun is just hopeless though, yeah. If there was some sort of replacement gun for the combined mode, or some sort of shell for the existing gun to turn it into a bigger gun, then I'd be down with it. I do at least appreciate the attempt they made to try and make the turret stand work, but it just looks like poo poo.

I feel that those modifications to that Netflix 'no look o akay. If it's a form of damage control based upon factors your can't account for, you could do a lot worse.

My MP-10 is Year of the Horse Optimus' Prime, though, so YMMV.

Hey, if YMMV stands for Your Mileage May Vary, what do they say in countries that primarily use kilometers instead? Or is it just an American phrase.
