The Iceberg Lounge aka GeneralZodLives's Phantom Zone

[GeneralZodLives]

I'm in none currently. I've mentioned I'm trying to really back off on everything, but Beast Wars holds too much of a place in my childhood to ignore it.

I've already started with some select MP Transformers. I'm using one Besta cube for Decepticons and one for Autobots. When they are full I'm done buying--or at least that's what I'm telling myself.

I never had a MP, but I always appreciated them for being leaps and bounds from the standard toy store Transformers.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I just watched this. What a difference a song can make because now I really want to see Rogue One.

You won't believe it when you get one. Some of the transformations are a bit tricky but they are on a completely different level from other Transformer figures.

 

[Shawpaw]

I'm optimistic about Rogue One. I'm sure it will be entertaining but not have the same feel as a canon episode.

I saw one of the versions of Optimus getting transformed on Youtube, and it's definitely a higher and way more involved configuration than just pulling the legs down, arms out and popping the head

They use a lot of metal parts, don't they?

Depends on the company but there usually some metal in there. The scale is perfect and it's amazing how close to cartoon accurate they get in both modes. Some of the third party figures are even better than the Takara ones.

Yeah Perfect Effect does great work. This went up for order the other day, based on Optimal Optimus from BW.

That thing is nuts. I don't have any of their figures so don't know how the quality is on them but it looks fantastic.

 

[Angry Kal-El]

The NECA line is great for Aliens fans. I picked up most of the line and even managed to get several signed by the actors. On another note, I'm going to miss my Hastings when they close down. It was my geek haven.

 

[Plastic Bateman]

Uh oh, I wonder how many people are happy about this; looks great but I wouldn't buy it.

When ThreeA announced they were doing Marvel and DC figures in Ash's style, this is what I expected and wanted, not the borderline-unrecognisable Iron Man, Spider-Man, Doom, Ultron and Batman released to date. Hopefully they've learned their lesson.

General, these guys:

Maybe you saw them but turned away cause of the bay Optimus.

Actually looks better than the Hot Toys version.

 

[Kibagami]

I'm still confused on which G1 Optimus is the one to buy, MP4, MP10, MP3, DVD, good lord.

Get whatever you like, I suppose? Ton of selection, this new 3A one deviates slightly from the original. But yeah; wow, never heard of MP01/04.

Their doom looked cool but they went too wild with it. Yeah, everything else is weird.

Actually looks better than the Hot Toys version.

 

[Kibagami]

Whoa; this repaint is crazy.

Oh I've seen that one. He turned it into a full sized truck I'd say it might be the best repaint I've ever seen on a collectible.

I thought those first couple pics were of a life-size truck. That's unbelievable.

 

[Shawpaw]

So I did something I shouldn't have done. I just watched Robert Tilton (farting preacher) right before seeing patients and can't stop laughing!

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I don't know who that is, but that's a miserable thing to be known for.
