Soundwave being my favorite character, I've got the G1, the Earthrise and Masterpiece and I'm pretty sure the tapes are interchangable. All the comic/toystores around me have G1 Repro's so you can always snag those on top of the "Proper ones" Rhymenoserous fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Dec 30, 2020 |

BizarroAzrael posted:It's still a bit self-serious and didn't have enough actual transforming. And it has the really daft bit of Prime returning from a vision quest to childishly try to beat forgiveness out of Megatron I didn't like Primes characterization or the voice actor. C'mon there's a guy who does prime voices, he seems easy to work with, you could say he's known for his prime voice. Just shell out the cash idiots.

I've got a wishlist of toys I'm going after based entirely off of "Characters I like" from various cartoons and IDW comics. I was able to pick up a devastator really cheap but my brain worms demands I keep some form of parity and I need an autobot combiner for him to menacingly stare at. Shame all the combiner wars poo poo is so expensive EXCEPT for devastator.

Rhyno posted:There's cheap knockoffs. I'm not too concerned about size but I've been avoiding knockoffs. I have a few people looking for a superion for me as he's my favorite Autobot combiner. I think my wishlist now is down to most of the Studio86 stuff which I already have pre-ordered, a Superion, Overlord (Based entirely on his IDW stuff) and Jetfire which again I already have on pre-order. After that I'm probably going to calm down on this a bit EDIT: I'm also scooping up any Wreckers I can find regardless of continuity. I've got a little shelf dedicated to them already.

TheDK posted:I've been watching lazy eyebrow too. The stop motion is pretty cool. He nerds out pretty hard on alt modes and what real life vehicles they are supposed to represent, and nearly all of his custom work looks like poo poo, but the videos are enjoyable. I can't watch his videos. His repaints are so bad that I end up just gawking at them the entire time. Dude needs to invest in some painters tape. The transformation bits are good, but I just can't keep my eyes off of him painting windshields black without obvious primer/paint thinning so you can see the paint bubbles and ughhh at least buy a can of gloss to go over it it's terrible. EDIT: that and he's one of those dickheads that buys multiples of figures that makes it drat impossible to get what I want. I know he buys two (One to gently caress up painting, one to not) and if he doesn't have a 3rd that remains in packaging I'll be shocked.

Victory Saber also doesn’t hit me in my G1 American transformers nostalgia gut either. Like there’s a little part of me that wants unicron because I was told I had the touch. Without 0consulting a wiki I only know broad outlines about victory saber. Unicron hit a sweet spot of being important across all iterations of Transformers, being a toy that hasn’t had but like one iteration in the past, and being effing big.

I just got a Legends Drift which has been one of my grails since I started collecting, and drat I love that they turned the doors into sword sheaths. It’s an awkward figure and nowhere near as poseable as more modern figures but I do not care one bit.

DoctorWhat posted:It's a deeply mediocre show and the sad truth is that its aestheticsof quality (union voicework, high preproduction budget, basically competent plotting) make people treat it as actually good children's television. It's the Young Justice of Transformers. “Well this is no schindlers list” yells DoctorWhat as his streaming program automatically begins playing Episode 8 of the critically acclaimed childrens TV show “Silverhawks” Circa 1986.

Arquinsiel posted:Nah, it's not even that and he points it out by showing how the different mix in the end credits has the same timings etc. The problem is he's not listening to any of the electronic music that's come out in the decades since and thinks this is unique. Plus memberberry clickbait. From a musicians standpoint it sounds an awful lot like someone said after the music was written “ah gently caress we need to add 20 seconds to the credits on both ends” and they just did a cut to achieve that rather than have it be re-recorded. This guy is remarkably bad at getting to his point though so gently caress him.

Unlike Bulkhead and Arcee, who are a step down from their original toys. Multiple steps in Bulkhead's case. I like this bulkhead for no other reason that he fits the general aesthetic of my “Wrecker” shelf which is now overflowing.

We’ve seen them do resizing with the Classics seekers upscaled to ER, so it’s not outside their ken. I’d absolutely love this. I bowed out of haslab because of cost and size.

Dabir posted:I'm watching the Kingdom series and man some of this voice acting is hosed. Optimus... fills... every sentence... with so many... dramatic... pauses... Half the characters are pretty good matches for their original voices and then there's distractingly different ones like Tigatron and dumbass bootlicker surfer bro Beast Megatron. But it's all so painfully slow, I'm watching at 1.25x and it barely ever feels sped up. Oh it’s loving awful. Optimus keeps that dumb bullshit Speaking cadence throughout all 3 series and since he’s a main pov character it ruins the entire series.

I snagged a Unicron Trilogy uh… Unicron. Not MiB but complete and obviously used in display. I really dig it. It’s going to be odd for my Devastator etc tower over him, but I either “Missed out” or “Purposefully decided” not to back the haslab one depending on the state of my collector brain driven excuses are. But overall? Happy with my purchase. Edit: haslab too big. I wouldn’t mind a normal Titan sized unicron though.
