Inflation rate taken its tolls... on TF~

Happen to buy one the the newly release TF figure labelled as the size of deluxe-class. It is very interestin' to find juz how much it differs from previous (best) release of all deluxe's. apart from that the plastic more-like less quality tho. thin in fact.

but all the while, thumb-up side is that (for example- this Falls of Cybertron's JAZZ) had major details on his body surfaces reflectin' his circuits, pistons n' all (sorry lazy to take photo here.haha)

note: if felt wana meshed together all the G1 homage collection (united, henkei, classic, universe, etc.) with the upcomin' FOC's one, well, beter not! FOC-bots would look midget. hehe.

TF:Prime Sergeant KUP

its been awhile since im posting sumtin here.nway, just recently managed to buy the so-called (nearly) hard-to-get TF:prime's Sergeant Kup. jump for joy when seeing one. but then, it wasnt really as expected when open it out of its nice packaging tho....for such price, the figure seems so SMALL...! d'oh! plus, tink they (manufacturer) can do much better for the figure mold (kup/ironhide) tho. i like much better it's early Cyberverse's version than this regular (supposed to be 6") deluxe type...

new Marvel Universe comic pack set in our Malaysia's toy-store

Just saw this new batch of Marvel Universe’s comic packs sell at our Malaysian shore toy store the Toys R’ Us, One Utama last weekend. It’s the Wolverine vs. Sabretooth set and Cyclops & Marvel Girl set, both been sell at price-tag of RM99.95 (approx. USD 33+) …!!! So hefty price-tag indeed!!!

Plus, also, there’s also no any comic included in the package? That’s really weird, tho. Supposed this is “the” comic packs set, right? Is this an official product?

D’uhh! Skipped this one, you must! Haha!

BULKHEAD from Transformers : Prime

BULKHEAD … haven’t heard his name before, but way back then, I’d bought TF: Superlink figure with da same name which an autobot that turned into awesome helicopter. But then, as I didn’t even watched the series, I’d replace him as Autobot Springer towards in my TF collection. Yup. It’s awesome! (later I sold it off since I got the Fansproject’s Defender – Springer – another 3rd party product). Hehe.

Back to Bulkhead’s … personally think he’d become famous from the TF: Animated (TFA) series which characterize him as a big-green-bulky Autobot which turn into a truck for his alternate-mode. Tougher than other Autobots (replace Brawn?) and closely valuable teammate of Optimus, Bumblebee, Ratchet n’ the others, make him outstanding character in the series. Hey, did he also resemble those of Marvel’s HULK…? Coincident perhaps, aite?

But im not talking about his alternate’ Animated series. Im previewing of the TF: Prime (TFP)’s BULKHEAD, which I got it for my x’mas present last few weeks! Hehe. Haven’t got time to open it back then, only lastnight able to. :P haha. To note, similar to his character in TFA, this Prime's Bulkhead also play role towards the strong and only remaining Autobots on earth, protecting the Energon source n' all (as usual plot). Be-friend also which the computer-wiz kid, think (both TFA & TFP) depict him as a best human-alliance bots together with Bumblebee.

Well, im damn impressed with all the joints, colors, packaging and all! Well done, Hasbro! Think I can skipped the latest Takara’s for sure due to upgraded quality (especially colors) done by Hasbro nowadays. (since TF: Generations & Reveal the Shield figure series!)

Below I’d snap few pics depict him in league of my G1’s collection. Again, it’s so awesome! Scale-wise both in robot-mode and vehicle-mode suits to those of previous new G1 re-incarnation *happy*

TF: DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime Year of the Dragon already in our local market

the Chinese New year juz around da corner, n' just in time the Asian Special ed. of DOTM: Ultimate Optimus Prime - Year of the Dragon figure hit our malaysian market…!

Transformers: DOTM's Autobot (Micromaster) FLAK ...!!!

just recently my moods really towards all these lil' Transformers (TF) collection that i've. think part of it because it's easier for me to carry it to my office (for cubicle display). hehe.

this time i wanna review a lil' bit about the TF: Dark of The Moon (DOTM) version of Micromaster's FLAK...!!!

well, not a story-teller meself, so i'd rather just put it on picturette to tell how gud the figure is!

the clear-carded packaging really made it easier to detect if there's any defect on the figure (of course!)

easy transformation indeed, as it's a legend-class figure. but to much details! oh, but one thing less provided from the manufactured item is that supposed that the cannon-gun should be silver in color based on its packaging illustrated display.

here then, its comparison with the TF: DOTM's Guzzle...

in comparison towards Flak's generation one (G1) n'G2 counterparts with his illustrated figure...

Optimus Prime vs Megatron (again)

there's definitely dozens of epic battles in da transformers world, namely few feud between rodimus prime-galvatron in G1, headmasters' fortress maximus-scorponok, sixshot-ultramagnus, masterforce' godginrai-black zarak, etc. but most (alwaz) refreshing one is between ol' Optimus Prime and Megatron. why? well. first there's "a movie" of them battle-till-the-end n then few times resurection of 'em through our the official (n' cancelled series). still, likewise i do found that collection both figures of 'em wuz realy a best "things" one could ever come up with. tho mainly still da same, red lorry and silver gun-pistol, its realy a notable one(s) in all collected items.

which back to the release of da simplest transformation (legend class series) of both OP n meggy which been released sometime around early this year (nealy yea-end now! heee!). found both of it upmost splendid sculpt, transformation-wise n cutey look...! like i said, simple enough (transformation) that anyone could transform bots mode to alternate's back and forth less than a min. n most importantly (yes indeed to me) gave a hepieee feeling playin' wif it. a smart one! ;D

~ so cute, aite! hehe

both of it are from hasbro's Reveal the Shield (RTS) toyline. got the Takara's distribution tho its kinda hard to find in our malaysian market (n much more expensive). each cost me RM24.90. oh and i just patch a new autobots n' decepticons' logo on both OP n' meggy to replace its original rub-sign sticker.

MP10's Optimus Prime

one of my fren, hajime last time did asking me for a comparison between da new released Takara's MP10 Optimus Prime with other MP's (MP08 - Grimlock & MP09 - Rodimus Prime/ Hotrod) also together with rest of (recent) deluxe-class figure line. hehe..

since my other TF figures all still pack-up in boxes at my storeroom, i'd pull-out juz few of it which tink it do justice to da intention here :P

i'd like to note dat the Universe's KUP (Sergeant) & Blaster here wod be remark as da deluxe-class figure sizes, lil' Wheelie there (well, he is lil' bots tho) is da legend-class n included also i-gears (3rg party) mini-MP01's OP. which is, from da look at it, still i-gear's OP more suitable as prime - prime for the deluxe-class figures, rite? MP10' OP here kind slightly huge tho...(same goes to MP09' rodimus too!) as for ol' Grimmy (MP08), well, he's noted as one big-bots (dino!), so sticks well wif' da rest deluxe n i-gear' OP.

here juz a bit of comparison between i-gear's n MP's (still i realy like da new MP's OP design tho. deymn smart!!!)

war for cybertron (WOC)'s OPTIMUS PRIME and MEGATRON

happen juz finished playing both Autobots/Decepticons faction game in the last Transformers (TF) : War for Cybertron last weekend! yeah, itsa year old game, but im all hype-up to finish playing it on my WII console due to the newly announced of its sequel game (TF: Fall of Cybertron) which will be release next year! (hooorahhh...!!!)

really felt so gud to play all my fav' characters of both the Bots and especially toward the ending of it playing as Prime against the tyrant of Tripticons and also as Megatron (Meggy) defending it against autobots attack!

so, just wana shared with all few of my photoshoot of the spin-off toy-line from this game (really highly greatly recommended!)

The Autobots' leader OPTIMUS PRIME - transformed into cybertronian truck. pretty slick transformation which lotsa snappin' parts to be done. as in the bot-mode, there's an old autobots' logo atda back of him. pretty cool! (same as his counterpark Meggy). blaster also included. all i got so far is the Hasbro's version which normal red (cool red) color plastic finishes, where as the other Takara's gave a more metallic look. but hey, whereas the Cybertron was at war, tink normal descend look of him would be gud enog then.

last time there's a "clear-stock" of this Hasbro's generation OP wich shops nationwide (or least Klang Valley n' JB) sell it for only rm50 (normal RM60). as per right now, in manner of speaking, its hardly to find it sell anywhere (except in ebay's) else. so it's a MUST!

then came the arch nemesis Decepticon's leader MEGATRON - which converted into a Cybertronian' battle tank. with his huge cannon replaced both on his hand in bot-mode n' main cannon as its alternate-mode. this one also a-MUST for TF fans. solid figure, i merely cant find any parts n; view of him that i didnt like tho. so its 100% sure gud to have one! oh, face sculpt, brilliantly captured his menacing grunt look.
