Geek Flea 7 Haul Part 2

I managed to find some Transformers I've looking for that are rather recent, for only $5 each! I'm starting to think these little shows are WAY better than big ones like NYCC or SDCC when it comes to finding bargains!

NJCC haul

Back in March I went to NJCC which is a "local" con focusing on 80's toys. With that in mind I banked some money. Yeah, I got a lot of GI Joes, but honestly, that's pretty much all they had. Not that I mind. Much like John over at The Clawful Punch I'm in a GI Joe "mode". Plus most of them were cheap and cost about $2.50 each. Fortunately I managed to find Lioga from Beast Saga, which is the spiritual successor to Battle Beasts in Japan and a Ranger Key of Ninja Red of Kakuranger. That's the Alien Rangers over here, if you follow Power Rangers.

Bonus pic!

This is the second time I've EVER seen a USS Flagg and it still is one of the most astonishing toys EVER!

Out for a ride

Series 4 Halo Mega Bloks Spartan and Transformers Prime, Legends class Arcee

Transformers Tuesday #11, Starscream

Transformers Tuesday #10

Continuing with the last Transformers: Reveal the Shield wave, we have an impressive Megatron. And I say impressive because despite the small stature of these figures, Hasbro managed to get him to transform in a gun. Well done Hasbro, well done!

Transformers Tuesday #9

So I recently found the whole final wave of Reveal the Shield, Legends sized Transformers. So today's entry is none other than the main man himself, Optimus Prime. Not a bad figure for a little Transformer and it's very reminiscent of how the original Optimus Prime transformation. And even better, you can't lose his fists unlike the original!

Transformers Tuesday #8

Todays Transformer comes from the Dark of the Moon movie toyline. Soundwave here is a Cyberverse/ Legends size, so he's small and transforms into a sport vehicle (BMW I believe). Pretty cool even though the transformation is simple.

Transformers Tuesday #7

Hey look at that, a movie style Transformers on this blog! A rarity indeed. While I normally am not a fan of the aesthetics of the movie TFs I HAD to this guy. After all it's a Soundwave. Need I say more? lol

Transformers Tuesday #6

LUGNUT!!! I love this guy! He's big (Voyager size, I think), mean, stupid and loyal. Almost the perfect Decepticon soldier. I found him in a Marshalls during the holidays and he just HAD to come home w/ me. He's a great substitute for the Animated version which was only released in Japan. Of course they got the better paint scheme for this toy too. Damn you HASBRO!!!! We have a love/ hate relationship... :)

Mini Monday #10

Actionmaster Jazz!?!

Transformers Tuesday #5

Dare to be stupid! It's Wreck-Gar. This has the ONLY one I've EVER seen in the wild. Glad I grabbed him when I had the chance.

More for the pile...

Found these last night on a last minute late night hunt.
It's nice having TRU open until 11 or 12 during the holidays.




More coming soon, including achievements and goals, nativity scene and some group reviews!

Transformers Tuesday #4

Kup here is from the Transoformers Generations line. Really digging how Hasbro is slowly updating their way towards the 86' figures, even though they missed a few of the 84/ 85 figures.

Transformers Tuesday #3

Jboypacman, this one is for you, TF: Generations Warpath! I've seen them floating around so next time I see one, it's yours! And yes, it's awesome!

Transformers Tuesday #2

Scourge

Transformers Tuesday #1

Transformers: Generations Thunderwing, one of few original Transformers from it's later years to get a modern update. Pretty snazzy even though he doesn't have an inner robot like his original Pretender toy!

Are you my daddy?

Deep Cover update

Awhile back I mentioned that was working on a custom of a
Japanese Transformers exclusive Deepcover.
So I thought I'd share some of the progress.

Here are the pieces I cobbled together from the Sideswipe that I ended up warping when I attempted to dye him black and the currently available Red Alert. As you can see I still had an undyed roof from Sideswipe.



















After applying 91% Isopropyl Alchohol to the red paint areas It came off REALLY easily.
After awhile I got to this point.

Next update: black paint applied.

OMG! Have you seen the size of your butt Cosmos?

I don't care about the RPM car but that stuffed Soundwave?
SO COOL! Want one!
