You get into trouble around here if you move 'True Friendings' on, though.
I'm trapped.

So you might as well open it and find out what a great toy it is!

How many are there of this mould? Is it Inferno, Grapple, Artfire and this chap? It's one of my favourites of recent times.

I never picked up Hauler. I have this thing where it feels weird to be buying every version of a mould.

This is true.

And the fact that it's not Hauler.

Hauler is on my list, and he does come up cheap often in various places at the moment. I just can't see where he'd fit in the collection as he doesn't really go in any groups. He could be a G2 Grapple I suppose and go with the brightly coloured chaps.

I'd be inclined to put him with the Diaclone fellas, as an almost pre-Transformer.

Post by Pinwig on May 18, 2023 20:33:29 GMT
That makes sense to me. I avoided buying into the Diaclone repaints though, so he'd be a loner.

They are lovely. I plan to get cheap Magnifus from the Kapow sale if it's still there next payday.

As I've came in to the thread to post about today's arrival I'll make a follow up enquiry of Shockprowl: Have you opened Hauler yet? |
|
|

Post by Pinwig on May 20, 2023 13:43:37 GMT
Yeah, I don't doubt they look nice, but really they're just all the moulds we already have but in different colours. It's a lot to catch up with at this point. I would rather plough that cash into the Toxitron stuff. They're repaints, but much more striking.

Why so interested, son? WHY SO INTERESTED, SON? Because I know how much you wanted a Hauler Interesting turn of phrase, Philip. "I know how much you wanted a Hauler."Yet you know already that I have a figure I happily repurpose as Hauler whilst simultaneously finding the concept of a green Hauler to be extremely wanky fan-wanky unimaginative wanky-wank. You know these things, Philip. Yet you say I wanted a Hauler figure.. When you know I don't... Thou contradicts thou self, Philip. Thou shows forth thou's inner thou. (I need to stop saying thou now.) |

But that's a repurposed figure, this is the first easily available western incarnation of Hauler that's officially labelled as such
