Galvatim Posted February 28 MPG-09 Super Ginrai. Base cab Ginrai is the same size as the vintage. Pretty much a Missing Link Ginrai. I have the new Takara IDW Rodimus on the way, so I won't say for certain that MPG-09 is TF of the year. I got the Yolopark Last Knight Optimus recently, and ended up with this display. Yolopark Rise of the Beasts display. I'll definitely be adding Mirage, not sure about Bumblebee and Primal. Yolopark G1 and SXS Hot Flame. And my TF comics trade paperback collection, for that matter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Galvatim Posted March 8 I got AMT-01 Rodimus recently. This is a full converting toy, based on Flame Toys' non-transforming action figure, which itself is based on the IDW Comics design for Rodimus, specifically the More Than Meets the Eye series. Packed in alt mode. Alt mode is decent, not as accurate as the third party offerings, but good enough. Robot mode is where it's at! Roddy is slathered in paint. This figure feels premium, with diecast parts, great metallic and glossy paint, and even some orange chrome hidden in the shoulders. The only thing missing is an alternate smirking head... SXS Hot Flame is still more accurate to MTMTE, although lacks the polish and build quality of Takara's. MMC might want to follow up their Reformatted Megatron 2.0 with a new Rodimus, he's looking dated next to AMT-01. MMC Optus Pexus (Optimus Prime) looks good with AMT-01. Rodimus ties with Jazz for my favorite Transformers character (closely followed by Galvatron), so I had high hopes for AMT-01, and Takara-Tomy didn't disappoint. I'd go as far as to say AMT-01 ties with MPG-09 Super Ginrai for TF of the year. Maybe some third party release will surprise me, but I haven't seen any announcements from Hasbro/Takara that look like competition here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GirlWiththeDragoonTattoo Posted April 6 Yoyoyo we posting Transformers here?? I don't have as impressive a collection as some of you but here all my little (and not so little) dudes @Galvatim i'm super jealous of your gorgeous Rodimus. I wanted the flame toys, as well as AMT-01 Roddy myself but missed out 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Galvatim Posted April 6 I found some Blokees TF trading kits recently. Optimus and Jazz light up! Cool little kits, fairly easy to assemble. They are blindbox, though, which puts me off buying many more. I might get a case of the recent wave featuring IDW Optimus and Megatron. Target Optimus. The trailer needs that Nonnef upgrade, it just feels so bland. Still, the Laser Optimus is a cool homage to the TF Cybertron Galaxy Force Optimus Prime, and Bullseye is cool. Love those little cassette guys. Yolopark TF One Orion. Yolopark's TF figure kits are awesome. Great paint and articulation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
