The small "Toy" scores thread

[Zagnorch]

Hey now!

A little bit of Yuletide cheer from a certain RF Gentleman hit my doorstep this morning:

[img width=640 height=468]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4871/31380504597_f0f7451868_z.jpg[/img]

All right, let's dig in:

[img width=611 height=550]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4816/45406744045_cc5f6c5b02_z.jpg[/img]

Oooh, a note!

[img width=640 height=450]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4887/44502919220_7a06fd38fe_z.jpg[/img]
THEY'RE NOT "JUST TOYS," DAMMIT! WHY CAN'T I MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND?!?! 

*AHEM* Let's see what's in here:

[img width=640 height=519]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4848/31380504407_14cbbeefe6_z.jpg[/img]

Uh-oh, the robot parts broke free from their blister pack and got all mixed up! And with no assembly instructions to go off on. But that's okay, I figured it out:

Aaaaaand finally:

Heh... Erector Junior.

ANYway, big thankies to The Man! I raise my TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition to you, good sir!

Went on my annual New Year's Goodwill tour, and found a few more 1:35 WWII plastic model kits to go with the big lot I picked up a few years back: (http://www.rfgeneration.c...13502.msg200332#msg200332)

I love that Voltron set. I bought myself that set and a bottle of Dom Perignon, for my birthday.

Hey now once again,

Time to turn our attention to a truly awesome combiner-bot, one I acquired some time back:

[img width=640 height=373]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7856/40164524163_3ed7131907_z.jpg[/img]

I was never too keen on Predaking back in the day, but after giving this big boy a good look, he won me over. While Devastator is still my all-time fave combiner, Predaking is now a close second.

[img width=550 height=574]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7894/40164524093_7d19c3dca2_z.jpg[/img]

Standing at about 18 inches, has some real presence. Still, there are a few things about the guy that could use a little... enhancement. You know, an upgrade. Only thing is, I can't think of any--

[img width=443 height=640]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7841/40164524003_6b48a49c72_z.jpg[/img]

Ah, there we go. Hey look, it's Shockwave, the Decepticons' resident mad scientist and ultimate logician, here to lend a hand! Well, he only has one hand of his own to lend, but that's neither here nor there. Seeing as how he's the inventor of the whole combiner deal in several TransFormers continuities, Shockwave's expertise should prove indispensable to the task at hand.

[img width=640 height=509]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7911/40164523923_f7b80d2e20_z.jpg[/img]

Aaaaand speaking of hands:

[img width=580 height=550]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7835/40164523873_fe29a70d54_z.jpg[/img]

Time to do the wing thing:

[img width=640 height=448]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7850/40164523783_6a3577032f_z.jpg[/img]
Dude, don't bogart the energon dipping sauce!

All righty, let's shore up that midsection! And no, the piece on the right is NOT what you think it is; get your mind out of the gutter for Primus' sakes!

See? Told ya!

[img width=640 height=488]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7843/40164523563_7eafc409df_z.jpg[/img]

Aaaand finally, an armament upgrade:

[img width=499 height=640]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7917/47129506301_521857cd8c_z.jpg[/img]

Oops, I forgot about this little feature! just lift up a door on the back of the hands...

[img width=533 height=640]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7895/40164523423_bf0a756851_z.jpg[/img]

...to reveal some deadly knuckle dusters!

TA-DAAAA:

[img width=700 height=696]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7901/40164523323_3cc70a1db1_z.jpg[/img]

Now THAT'S more like it!



Whelp, that's it for now. I'll likely be showing off a few of my more recent TransFormers acquisitions in the coming weeks... but don't hold me to that.


Until then...

That Bucky is awesome! I recently bought a second one to play...*ahem* I mean pose on the shelf.

[Bear78]

Finally got these 2 cleaned up with repro stickers applied. Only GI Joe toys I really still own after my parents talked me into selling all mine when I was younger.

Hey now,

I'm not showing off any new toy scores here right now, just posting a YouTube video that exploits covers the subject of, shall we say, extreme adult toy collecting! And no, I don't mean the collecting of adult "toys," I mean-- well, just watch the video and you'll see what I mean.

Hey now,

Recently, I took advantage of some savings coupons and Amazon gift card credit, and grabbed myself the latest Soundwave and a couple cassette minions.

For the last freaking time: YES, I DO KNOW THE WAY TO CYBERTRON! For the love of Primus, stop asking me that!

Whoa, check this out: his index finger is slightly extended from his left fist.

[img width=640 height=538]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/40910845403_23921614e6_z.jpg[/img]

I'm sure there's a very good reason for this little embellishment... but it escapes me at the moment.

[img width=270 height=480]http://media.giphy.com/media/SVeeDpKil5LFOKT9UL/giphy.gif[/img]

But if you think that's cool, check out his alt-mode of...

...ummmm... some sort of battlewagon spaceship thingy? I guess? 


ANYway, Soundwave is the latest addition to my collection of the Siege series of TransFormers figures:

[img width=639 height=374]https://live.staticflickr.com/7822/32526373037_c4ba525cd7_z.jpg[/img]

Another recent acquisition is Studio Series Optimus Prime from the Bumblebee movie...

Picked up a Tarjay-salvage Bumblebee Soundwave in a heavily damaged package for $14.99:

[img width=700 height=897]https://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/ts%20061119e_zpsbzszimgf.jpg[/img]

Damn that's a great price for that Soundwave!  I kept looking at him every time I was at Target but just couldn't pull the trigger for the price.

Hey now,

Damn that's a great price for that Soundwave!  I kept looking at him every time I was at Target but just couldn't pull the trigger for the price. 

I was really worried that it might be incomplete or broken; that's usually the case with TarJay-salvage toys I find at Goodwill. I really lucked out in this instance...


ANYway, I'm celebrating Father's Day the best way I know how:
