one of my good friends and a fellow MOTU collector can't make Eternia happen because of a sudden financial hiccup involving his wife's school financial aid. So i backed a second time in the case that he can't get the funds together in the next three weeks. i guess if i still die i'll need to put that in my will

A new TMNT ULTIMATES from Super 7 came in today, I have to admit I am disappointed in the articulation and paint on this guy. I see what people have been complaining about.

He has elbows, but they aren't cut well enough to use, while the Dead Prime mock up shows that and other bits obviously retooled. Makes me wonder if they're going to release a third normal Prime some how with the improvements from Dead Prime. I'm probably going to try and get Bludgeon because Samurai Skeleton Man. Soundwave is also good, though without at least Lazerbeak it feels a little empty.

I found a random nendoroid on amiami that I think will look great with the yukata body https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?scode=FIGURE-127553 With the glasses she looks very vaguely like me and I really want to have a pretty yukata someday.

The date’s passed already but Mattel is considering 10/12/82 (or 12/10/82 for the rest of the world) as MOTUs birthday. The toy line is officially 40. gently caress I’m old. It’s 6pm and I’m thinking about going to bed.

Caesarian Sectarian posted:I own Ultimates Prime, he’s not great but he can ball. I brought this up in the general toy thread, but if they implement the improvements from Dead Prime into a hypothetical third regular Prime, that's the one I'd get. He's properly Big without being oversized, and I do like his general looks. Its his drat elbows that kill the figure because, the range you see there, that's all he gets. And I'm not one who is crazy over articulation points, but I do like it if they can do at least more than a wiggle. The opening chest will also be nice to have just for some shakeup.  This shows off both how the eblows were given more range and the better ab joint stuff they worked in. Those alone do wonders for the figure...meaning that the Corpse of Optimus Prime is more posable than him alive.

I have the 2004 Masterpiece Optimus Prime and I've never felt the need to buy another Transformer, much less another Optimus Prime. That guy is great.

I don't think it would cost much, relatively, to reacquire the 2004 Prime or something similar. You have a lot of options with that character! The Super 7 one is probably the most directly cartoon-inspired one if that's your goal. He would be around the same size as your other figures, but not even close to in scale with them.

I'm now leaning towards the Wei Jiang OS MP-10 (MPP10). The cell chaded version is $54, the original is $63. I think he'll look really good standing behind the 6 and 7 inch figures. Playmates Voltron is only 16 inches tall though, and I feel like he should be bigger. This file is $25, might take a while but I imagine printing it out at 200% would look pretty boss scale wise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jKEmt4r8Eg

A Voltron that's actually to scale with 6" or 7" figures would probably be like 12 feet tall. Voltron is a big boy.

MP 10 Prime is the man. Smaller than 01 and better engineered and not as complicated as the newer one.

I keep meaning to ask my cousin if his lad is into Transformers just so I can get shot of it and free up some space.

Rhyno posted:My printer isn't big enough for that. Part of why I pointed out the hugeness of Voltron is to say "yes, making him really big would be appropriate" but part of it is to say "don't worry too much about scale with that guy, he's not gonna be in scale, just get one that looks cool." Best to approach it the same way you would, say, putting a miniature Enterprise with your Star Trek figures; they're not going to be the same scale but it could still be a nice display.

I think it would be cool if Mattel adds a tier when it hits 10000 this weekend. Like, just kidding, everyone gets King Grayskull now and some other fun poo poo.

Onesixthkit has the new Silent Hill figures for preorder until 11/28. Not sure if to wait for Sideshow to announce preorders so I can dump some points or if it’s going to end up more expensive and cancel out. I’m planning on preordering the 1/4 scale Bateman when that goes up on Sideshow anyway. https://onesixthkit.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=4078 https://onesixthkit.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=4077
