Hello friendos, As I'm sure you noticed, I started a wee blog. It's sort of reviews and mostly general musings and anecdotes with pictures, but I'm enjoying myself so thought I would inflict it upon you too. Couple of Transformers related bits up already, new one was posted tonight: figures.dezzeh.com/lording-all-over-itI shall also be including non-TF (GASP) stuff here, but well, robots yeah?! |

Excellent stuff!
Your photos prompt me to ask, is Overlord's base mode just a random base, or is it scaled to work with Micromasters?

Let's consider it, he was originally released in '88 alongside the Masterforce line in Japan. Main features here were Power (God) Masters and this was a year before Micromasters really existed. Best guess were the size was roughly designed to scale with the Power Masters and Headmaster Juniors from the toy line, in as much as you call anything G1 did as scale..

Cool. I just wondered if he was preemptively designed to fit with them. So his ramps aren't Micromaster size ramps?

I’ll get some size comparisons for you tomorrow, but best guesstimate says that Overlords ramps are slightly wider than Micromaster ones

I had a quick look on eBay, but those prices are mental! I think I'll have to stick to the Micromaster Mission for now.

The Starmax bomber can go for some seriously big money. I picked up the Shadowbat for £125 at the toy fair, which was a bit over what I wanted to pay but it's rare as rocking horse poo, however when I opened it and the two Shadow Parasites popped out, I had probably gained £60 worth of stuff over the top!

I don't even know what the premise was. There's a Mask strip in my Eagle comics, I know that.
