i know people aren't super hot on the Japanese G1 cartoons, but kinda curious if there's any kind of opinions on the Japanese G1 comics (if they're even a thing anyone has bothered to care about looking at in the first place) since VIZ are apparently reprinting them in English at the mo

So I see some people have Overload in their hands and have fully assembled Devastator, but am I seriously going to have to wait until October for my preorder to ship? :argh: I just want to build this drat thing already, especially since he looks so drat good.

Whole lotta XTB/KFC stuff available again. I was about to pull the trigger on their Horrorcons but it hit me that I don't really have much connection to them. Anybody own those guys?

I have them. They're big, clunky, the wrong colors, and (like most KFC) annoyingly fragile, but they do the job well enough. Snapdragon is a solid representation of the character, although he'd be a lot better if he was the right color. Apeface is hilariously topheavy thanks to his unbelievably large backpack (I'd say half his weight is backpack in robot mode) and hard to stand up with any stability but that's the design of the character, backpack and all, so there's not much you can do. They're huge in jet mode. Like "not super out of place next to FT Phoenix" huge, which is cool. Apeface has a tendency to have broken fingers right out of the box so keep an eye out for that, and mine had its Headmaster's thigh balljoint just snap off with almost no force whatsoever, although KFC did send a replacement that isn't fragile like that. Apeface's guns have handle tabs that don't fit his hands properly but Snapdragon comes with replacement handles that do, as well as a more toon-accurate face.

I like them. They have that "I can't believe there's a version of this character with this level of size and detail" thing going on that I also feel with the MP-scale combiner limbs. I'd replace them pretty quickly if better versions ever came out, which wouldn't be hard to do, but who the hell is going to make these guys any time soon? You own way worse stuff, I can tell you that for a fact.

Has anyone else bought the new deluxe Cyberverse Grimlock yet? Mine has one (robot mode) leg that will absolutely not stay on. It's a ball joint, and I think the ball's actually a little too big, since it feels more like the socket pops off rather than just falling off. I'm curious if it's a common issue before I try sanding it down.

Other than that it's a pretty good Grimlock. My biggest issue with it is the way the transformation works leaves it with dino-mode knees that can only bend inwards, but the robot mode is fully articulated so that alone makes it better than the other RiD/Cyberverse Grimlocks. He can open his mouth, which is of course the most important thing for a Grimlock.

That's a common issue with the figure. Mine does it on the right leg all the time. Fixable but annoying.

Mine does it on both legs. They’ll both fall off the moment I try and turn the stiff thigh joint.

Man I love how they look. And you're right, even FT isn't going to get to these guys any time soon. I was also thinking about their Wreck-Gar but with how many movie bots FT has already done I expect him to be announced as soon as I purchase KFC's.

I have about $200 left from my bonus and the wife is encouraging me to get something for myself, I just can't decide what I want.

I guess FT Iceman is on its way? I thought I had it in TCP’s preorder stash thing but apparently not.

I’m excited but also wish I’d been able to add a thing or two to the order down the line, but oh well.

Four out of 6 seacons in hand. Unfortunately don't have an order in anywhere for the last two. Holding out for them popping back up on pulse.

These really do feel like a more premium version of the combiner wars molds we'd gotten so many of. Thankfully they do enough new that they feel fresh.

If you can only do one, Snapdragon is by far the better of the two.

Yeah but it this case it seems that the ball is too big, the thigh seems to just pop right off like it can't get a good grip on it. It feels the opposite of the normal ball problem that we all run into from time to time.

:smug:

Sidenote, does anyone want the Maccadam hand it comes with? I'm not doing the build-a-figure, I'll send the hand to someone who is for the cost of shipping.

Then on my way home, I find out I finally got my unemployment money.

Then I get home and find out my Siege Nemesis Prime is finally in stock and should be here within a week.
