JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Daidenjin added to the Chogokin shelf. It can be a little scary transforming an old toy, but I did it successfully! 😤 050
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Sky Saber is my favorite Brave toy. Sonokong was still making Brave toys in the early 2000's in Korea. This one was made in 2003. The quality is great, only the plastic tray is inferior to the original release. 010
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Horn Bomber came with the weapons for Tribomber! I spent too much on this... 020
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I made a replacement gun for Galaxy Shuttle / Thunder Dagwon using Meshy.ai and Tinkercard, since the real one would cost me over $100. Free download on Cults3D cults3d.com/en/3d-model/... 020
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 18/09/2026JRX is a beautiful toy from all angles. Tons of articulation, but a bit prone to falling over. Probably my favorite TF train combiner! 052
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 18/09/2026In the final minutes, two people went back and forth bidding on this auction until the price went from $118 to $572. Wow!!! 120
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 15/09/2026If you get enough of them can you jerryrig a Devastator? 110
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Energon Omega Supreme is an absolute unit. Condition on this one isn't great, but I can't complain too much for $50. 040
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 14/09/2026It's kind of crazy so many 87/88 sets are getting completed before the Autobot Headmaster Juniors. 110
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Knockoff Dia Battles has been added to the shelf. In true knockoff fashion, he has two left fists. 010
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Antex yellow Windcharger. I got it for a pretty good price so I am tempted to just open it... 051
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 10/09/2026His vehicle mode is a nuclear missile launcher. 'Nuff said. 050
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 10/09/2026My perfect white Jetfire from Ebay came with some rust on the bare metal parts. I have never removed rust before but supposedly vinegar can remove it in a day or too. Wish me luck! 030
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I finally found a use for Calculus... flattening the backing cards of my vintage toys! 021
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 07/09/20261988 G1 Backstreet. Got him on Ebay recently for a good price. When I was a kid, a neighbor had him and I was extremely jealous. That vehicle mode is too awesome, right? 170
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Tai Fong Robotic Radio, a functional AM Radio very similar to MC-21 Radiocasse Robo. Honestly, I like the transformation of Robotic Radio a bit better, except for the head. You always see it in the background of Thew's Youtube videos, and now I know why! 042
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 06/09/2026A dead stock find of vintage Diaclone/Microchange knockoffs were sold in Chicago for $50 each. Apparently Toy Federation bought a lot of them and are trying to sell them for $220 each. Yikes. That's about $50 more than they typically sell for on Ebay when they are scarce.... 030
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Some awesome color variants of the Yabaya 3d printed Transformers, courtesy of Gabe Cox. 040
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I have been hunting for a reasonably priced Jetfire in good condition for a while, and finally my patience paid off!! 040
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Good news you guys, I fixed Decibel AND he looks much happier now too 030
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Twist N Change Robot, a knockoff of God Max by Newtoys HK Ltd. I think the plain brown box packaging means it is from a mail order catalog. The colors are cool, the quality is so-so. Brave toys were never released in the USA at all, so knockoffs like this were as close as we got. 020
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Made in Taiwan for Lillian Vernon in 1993. Even back then, before I knew about Brave toys, I saw it in a catalog and thought, something is off here. 000
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Sometimes the bootlegs companies got too creative and created a Frankenstein's monster. This is Animalbot, a knockoff of Tribomber. The quality is poor and the changes make the toy much worse. At least the colors are cool. 120
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Yabaya 007 mini 3d printed Soundwave now available on Cults! cults3d.com/en/3d-model/... 153
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Korean release of Big Convoy from 2001. For years Korean Sonokong releases were a way to get older Takara Brave and Transformers releases at good prices. Now they are just as hard to find as the Japanese versions! 040
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Yeah I loved my original Pegasus Saber set as well. I wish I hadn't sold it! Brave toys used to be a lot easier to get. 010
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 20/08/2026It's a good thing kids don't overthink this stuff haha 010
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Korean knockoff of Sky Saber called Sky Triumvirate, released in 1993. Quality is very close to the original. I love the box art and packaging style. When you see a vintage Korean toy at a good price, you have to buy it! 0111

JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 16/08/2026They're really mainly intended to go in my 3d printed Soundwave, but they're 50% the size of a G1 tape along length and height and about 75% the size along the width. So two can fit in a G1 Soundwave chest with a little room to spare. 110
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Glad to be done making mini versions of Soundwave's minions. It's tough working in such a small scale! Modeled in Tinkercad and printed on the Snapmaker U1. 173
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Agreed! I think it's the best looking Metal Cardbot so far personally. Blastrain looked good, but this is on another level. 010
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Yeah it has been pretty fun so far figuring out how to make it all work! Though I am kind of dreading how to do cassettes in this smaller scale haha 010
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 21/07/2026I got the recent knockoff of this and it's quite good for the price. Can't beat the beautiful box design on the original though. Something about those vintage Japanese boxes really impresses me. 210

JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Yabaya 006 Prowl / Bluestreak / Smokescreen available now on Cults3D: cults3d.com/en/3d-model/... Made entirely in Tinkercad, assembles like a model kit. 11810
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 21/05/2026That feeling when you get 300+ likes on Twitter and only 1 like on Bluesky. Oooof. (Thank you Galen for the like!!) 000
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Another variation. I think I like this one even more. 010
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Haslab Liokaiser's Death Cobra Cannon (alternate transformation). It bugged me that the cannon looked messy, so I moved around the guns and now it looks great!! Very happy with this mode now. 120
JeffS @mightgainedx.bsky.social · 13/05/2026I'm slowly putting together an army of Taiwan Transformers knockoffs. 010
