Greymon commission!! REALLY happy with how the lighting came out for this one!

SBR good but I just hope it doesn't fall into the labouriously extraneous dialogue that Stone Ocean's dub did. Why use 5 words when 17 will do. They used to be good at this or am i just repressing the memory of Speedwagon's commentary

For those of us to whom G1 toys are rare relics, does anyone else go for all the updates of the ones you have? Or like certain ones? Yeah gonna need to stop doing that I think. Some don't come around often it's true but plenty of the latest ones do not billow the sail as it were

So that Corrupt Prowl must be what they thought was a Barricade on the way right. Not impressed by further light on what looked like a really good line when it was Age of Evolution. I'm all for sandboxing, yes make random guys combine do it but this sounds less good than what I had been led to expec

Good job this filthy cold hit me when it did or 2 days ago I could have been coughing my guts up on the operating table instead of at home. One of those things you Don't Want To Think About

A hero's final rest. #lego #bionicle

A colourful drawing of line art and watercolour of bionicle Toa Tahu. The Red Orange one. Resting against a tree in the woods. At his feet are the 5 masks of all the other original bionicles heroes. A Spot of sunshine comes through the trees. Wide enough to form a circle in the shape of Tahu and ailluminate him in the otherwise dark forest. Toa is covvered in rust and dust. Leafs spout from his shoulders and mask. His plating looks old and battered. One may wonder how long he has been here.

I remember how we all wanted T30 Whirl to be full MTMTE because it was 2014 but now I'm so glad he wasn't. Doesn't look like we're getting another one any time soon so to have one with these vibes while we could have stuff like optional decal sheets is unbeatable. Big fave. Anyway I just broke it.

Received this rad commission by the peerless @gogoandyrobo.bsky.social of our shared fave the Leadershine Grasshopper robot! We are the presidents of the fan club! One day this'll join others on the growing Hopper Wall! Til then go buy some art of your own from Andy! He doesn't miss!

Checking out new Sentinel Prime. OK yeah you know what when I said "really needs the arm guns" they pulled a pro strat by reusing Tarn's arms where those details have been there since day one! Fair play. Could've painted them but all I can really complain about is the feet and the whole conversion

Just experienced one of these awful inventions. A plastic egg wrapped in gummy strips that won't just come off easily via your fingers or teeth. Christ don't give them to kids they're sticky enough most hours of the day. But I did get a Wheeljack and now know where a car mode one at tfn came from

Going to need to do some art of the extra 2001 bionicle canister I just dreamed about. Only marked TOA because it would contain random parts from any of them and 1 of the 72 masks.

Clearly I was wrong when I said Onslaught has no distinguishing features, he does, it's his 🩲 pants 🩲

I know a lot of people don't rate modern transformers instructions. Between the immediate last two purchases I've made I'm agreeing with ya. But what do they actually need to do to improve them? Go back to 2000's drafting diagrams?

A lot of toys which didn't say Devastation on the box can fill in for them but I spend every day wishing they'd tooled a new one for Wheeljack. (Deluxe Grimlock would rule I think but I'm alright for grimbos for a bit) But! Do not think I do not require a deluxe Megatron

Some Transformers on my coffee table include Studio Series Devastation Optimus and Bumblebee, 86 Starscream and Missinglink Grimlock

Making the proposition of 20 quid Nova Prime to myself. He's not the Don design but he is more Devastation. But he's not the Don design. Ultimately I'm still not fussed to buy a fourth one of these. I'm happy for some characters to continue to not be toys in my house. *glowers over the thirteen*

Sug Slegman! Bit surprised how much j like this. The forest green does a lot for me. He's got too much wibbly guff on his back and his arms are too small and his legs maybe should be fatter but yeah man try the ceratops

Back from Da Moobie! I'm so used to watching it in 4:3 lol. It was good but also I think my screen could have cranked the sound more. OP Awakening was really good I thought! The One on screen?? What! Not sure Frank can do Megatron anymore but Peter's last performance was perfect.

Known the tpb for the recent marvel and dc crossover stories was coming for a while. Did not know it's final printed title would be "The Cosmic Kiss Caper" way to go, scores of kids are just gonna straight up not want that even if they can see batman and deadpool on the front.
