The small "Toy" scores thread

[shaggy]

Not exactly toy related but I found these blast from the past.  These are my He-Man magazines from back when I was a kid.  I know there are more so I'll be searching for these at my parent's house.

He-Man was my favorite.  I have all but 2 of the action figures back from when I was a kid.  I loved the show and was He-Man everything!  Pure love!

[Bear78]

Those have fantastic art!

All you need is a Hasbro Pulse account, $575 to preorder it, and hope that it gets 8000 backers before the end of August...

So far, so good; yet another Siege: War for Cybertron release that looks like a solid tribute to the G1 cartoon show. Speaking of tributes, check out this little detail from Jetfire's Skyfire's debut episode:

Those Zentraedi-- errr, Decepticreeps don't stand a chance against these guys, especially with the armor enhancements and shooty-shooty-bang-bang fireblast thingies.

Aaaaand that's it for now. Special thanks to Duke.Togo for giving me first dibs on purchasing his G1 Jetfire.

So, why are you still hanging around here? Go do something useful, willya!

Ummmm... hello? Does anybody but me ever even visit this thread anymore, let alone post in it? Meh, no matter. ANYway, A special package from the Land of the Rising Sun arrived the other day.

[img width=700 height=710]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48691157357_0473f66731_b.jpg[/img]

Holy crap, what could possibly be in there???

[img width=700 height=576]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48690650183_bdb52f7e57_b.jpg[/img]

Introducing...

[img width=700 height=546]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48690990466_cdcc78a838_b.jpg[/img]

...TransFormers Masterpiece MP-44 Optimus Prime 3.0, the most G1 cartoon-accurate transforming Optie yet!

 And now, it's time for everybody's favorite moment: the unboxing.

[img width=700 height=452]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48691157272_712438168b_b.jpg[/img]

Wow, look at all those gewgaws & tchochkes, many of which are callbacks to several episodes from the G1 series. But before we get to that, take a gander at the tractor-trailer mode in all its glory:

[img width=700 height=520]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48690990341_62a577fc3c_b.jpg[/img]

Time for a little side-by-side with the MP-10 Optie:

[img width=700 height=471]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48691157097_4ab07aa5ec_b.jpg[/img]

[img width=700 height=434]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48690990226_9d7ab87f30_b.jpg[/img]

And MP-44's robot mode is noticeably slimmer, sleeker, and less blocky than his MP-10 predecessor:

[img width=700 height=631]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48691156912_5a31454c56_b.jpg[/img]

That new Prime is really nice! 

I haven't picked up much lately as far as toys go.  I did grab one of the newer Godzilla vinyls that Wal-Mart is currently selling just to throw on the shelf.  I think I got the 68 version if memory serves me right.

Showa era Moguera revoltech. Been in a bit of Godzilla kick lately. I love this goofy mecha-kaiju. Look at him, the absolute unit.

Did you say... Revoltech?

My first keshi figures. What better way to start than with the Universal monsters?

They have TransFormers Keshi figures as well, but I'm not completely sold on them... yet.

ANYway, I'll leave y'all with this sage advice from Lord Primus Himself:

Hey now,

I've got some recent board game purchases that I could post if those are considered toy enough

Judging from several prior posts on this thread, I'd say you're good to go. Have at it, bud!

Time to unbox my latest TransFormers triple-threat score:

[img width=582 height=640]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48756254596_f3c7878304_z.jpg[/img]

Now you're probably wondering why I bought three Refraktors; I assure you there is a reason...

[img width=700 height=354]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48771362156_e5ca13e32b_b.jpg[/img]

[img width=700 height=404]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48755936938_9cc1bdc8da_b.jpg[/img]

...and that reason is this:

[img width=700 height=623]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48755936823_9b11141c98_c.jpg[/img]

As some of you might have guessed, Refraktor is a modern tribute to Reflector, the first combiner team to appear on the G1 'toon show.

Oh, they can also combine into this:

[img width=589 height=640]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48771563202_bd4a45f410_z.jpg[/img]

Until then...

That's really cool they built all those extra modes into Refraktor.

[Zagnorch]

Hey now,

That's really cool they built all those extra modes into Refraktor.

Thing is, even though the camera is shown on the back of the toy packaging, they don't provide an instruction sheet on how to transform them into the camera. Fortunately, I have YouTube to help me out when the instruction sheet is either incomprehensible, or nonexistent. As for the triple spaceship, I think that one might have been improvised by a savvy TransFan. And speaking of YouTube and savvy TransFans, I discovered how to do both transformations from a video by Wotafa, a fanatically enthusiastic toy collector from the Land of the Rising Sun:





Although I don't understand 99% of what he's saying, he provides really good visuals of the process as he changes the robots in spaceship mode back to robots, and then to the big spaceship and then to the camera, with a few side-by-side size comparisons with various Gundam mechs and other TransFormers Siege figures sprinkled in for good measure.


His video on how to transform MP-44 Optie also proved quite helpful:







ANYway, I'll have a few more TransFormers gems-- and a few not-TransFormers gems-- headed my way in the next few weeks. So don't go anywhere, or y'all might miss 'em...

So I bought a bag marked "various 80's figures" at a toy show yesterday mainly because it had a couple of Battle Beasts in it and I could use some help identifying the other figures.  I believe the top 2 on the left and the sliver guy are Dino Riders but any idea on the others?
