On Spark Toys 8.6 inches is more like Ultra. He’s just shy of the height of Masterpiece Grimlock. https://scontent-mxp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/t31.0-8/10926301_788394951268182_5251763016213691149_o.jpg
I’d be more interested in DX9’s Kup if it had 5mm hand holes and a Targetmaster.
As part of your Titans Returns talk next week, I see we have new pictures of the Takara Legends Deluxe Hardhead and Skull. From what we see now Hardhead will ship with a small vehicle which is a recolor of the vehicle that comes with Titan Master Terri-Bull and Skull comes with a recolor of the bird that comes with Titans Master Crashbash. This seems to confirm a rumor you guys has in episode 119, where you said Deluxes would ship with a small transforming vehicle or animal partner, who might also form a weapon and interact with the Headmaster. I had figured you were either wrong or Hasbro changed their mind on this, but now we see it’s Takara who are doing what you described! We even get out first look at their gun modes. Congrats on getting another one right!
I am really excited for the Spark Toys Alpha aka War Within Prime !!! I like Charles loved the style and look of the War Within comics. As for Yoshi having the War Within comics…Daryl remember I sent Yoshi a “Transformers Care Package” where I gave Yoshi some War Within books. Someone needed to broaden Yoshi’s Transformers comic knowledge. In other words , MAKE YOSHI READ SOME OTHER GOOD TRANSFORMERS BOOKS THAT AREN’T JUST MARVEL!!!!
Also I have to say I am very disappointed with the ending of Transformers Battle Tactics!!! I FREAKING LOVE THE GAME!!! And just when I am making some good ground on my collection of bots on the game they decide to end shop??? In the words of Yoshi …….WTF??????????
My cat says she donated a nickel and adorableness to the donation and she also says that her favorite host Darryl.
I actually have the Titanium War Within Prime (its Darryl complete) and yeah its a piece of work. The only things on it that are plastic are the head, arms, hands, legs, and the toes oh and the wheels. Nothing pegs in and it flops everywhere and anywhere it constantly wants to hunch over and you can’t get it in really dynamic poses because nothing pegs in or it looks like Prime broke his arms! The vehicle mode doesn’t hold at all, shittiest birthday present I got. I am so excited for this Spark toys version because the design I feel is one of the most unique incarnation of Prime.
I’ve been racking my brain on what to get signed by the Great Frank Welker. My go to is my Tom Whalen 30th Anniversary print that I started having signed last year at TCcon USA. So far I have Dan Gilvezan, Gregg Berger and Flint Dille, but it’s a pain to carry around and if I’m not careful the signature like to smear and rub when it’s rolled up. So I’m really leaning on my Mighty Muggs Megatron. It’s small, easy to tote and should fit in a shadow box nicely. I just don’t know. It’s hard to come up with something for the guy that voiced every facet of our childhood and he’s still going strong.
