Mecha Mad and Figure Fixation V 2.0

Had some time today while Chloe was asleep & Katie was watching Alice in Wonderland so took some snaps of the new arrival...

Lovely statue and all, but the main thing I took away from those pictures is that you have Just Dance...

Lol...it;s the wife's...honest one of her Christmas pressies

I didn't totally waste my time either & I actually got the gang altogether as well...













Can't believe how amazing these 3 are, I am seriously blown away, they are simply on another level of quality.
Only issue I have is how fiddly it is to get Smokescreens cannons to stay on his shoulders, the don't sit quite right on mine & look a little cocked, other than that they are some of the best figures I've ever owned

Glad you got him. They do look good together.

The shoulder cannons didn't line up properly on mine either (you can see this on the right cannon in my pictures) but I've found that if you push back gently they fit perfectly. You can see this below, and is how it looks on mine:

Thanks buddy, yeah really chuffed with him.

Thanks for the tip will try that on mine next time round.

Had a go at the Wrecker brothers today & took some pics of Top Spin & Twin Twist...














Suitably impressed with the pair, for a 3rd party offering they are pretty much spot on, have a pretty good quality feel about them & the likeness is really good.

Just need some more of the wreckers now.

And my collection begins.....

Nice start! I was a bit O_o with these at first because of them being 1/10, but i picked up GL and Flash for ?25 each and was pleasantly surprised at their size! Really good ( & typical ) Koto quality for their PVC stuff.

I picked up Superman for ?30 posted too, i don't think they are worth the ?45 - ?55 people are charging for them but if you can get em around the ?30 mark they are a great buy and once you get a little collection going they look excellent together!

Also love the boxes they come in, i have them stacked in my window and they look great with the light coming through them!

Koto has closed out the year with official shots of its upcoming 1/6 Juggernaut

I've noticed that there's quite a few Transformer fans here so I thought you may like to see these pretty nice 500 yen (2 pounds 80) kits.



The quality of the plastic parts is pretty good for such a cheap item.



Some of the parts are tinny though. I have small hands but just look at how small this 3 part peace is when sitting on my little finger.



Included in the set are a plane and tank model which two of those little robots sit in to pilot them.





These two can then form the main Decepticon robot, Over Lord.





You can also rearrange them to make this base thing as shown on the box. I couldn't be bothered though since it took me long enough to build the two vehicles and robot.

That is awesome Yakumo.

Looks really impressive.

Are there many in the series??

Neil

[Yakumo]

Yeah, there pretty nice considering the price. There are 3 in this set. One Decepticon and two Autobots. One of the Autobot sets are two sports cars. Here's the link to the official page. Apparently these are the 2nd series!

Last minute 2013 arrival today, Fine Arts Venom arrived. Need to sort pics but he's a heavy ass piece.

Nice! I've seen this as low as ?99 and i've been super tempted with it, i sold my Bowen one ages ago and i consider that one definitive so i even never saw the need for another one....but i have been tempted at those prices!

[Neon Ignition]

I'd seen it in a store once and somehow remembered it being fairly small in size but in reality I'd say he's at least 2/3's the size of Hulk and even comes in slightly taller than the pillar Spiderman is swinging round on the matching statue. Wolverine looks dainty in comparison despite being te same scale size.

First statue of 2014 also in the post...

News that the designer of the Transformers Masterpiece series is leaving and being replaced by the guy behind the Masterpiece series before its MP10 restart. Wheeljack will still be from the current guy, Bumblebee unknown at this point.

Yeah I read that elsewhere.

Shame but I can't see it stopping the current business plan & I expect the releases to keep on coming.

Just can't wait to see what Wheeljack actually looks like.
