Make Phil dance like a puppet on a string !
I've not got far to go with the TM & TM2 toys and I'm a bit stuck with the Mega BW toys at the mo (I need one in particular to continue)
So which older TF toyline should I turn my attention to next ?

You may as well get through the rest of the BW then move to Beast Machines, then Robots in Disguise, then whatever the hell came after until we get to the present day.

These are the 3 lines left to tackle, I'm generally happy with the reviews of the toylines after these - though may look at revising them into the all the repaints under one review format I've used for BW.

Those wanting some BM action might like to check out the reviews for Night Slash Cheetor and StrykaThey are the earliest reviews I wrote that I'm 100% happy with and I've done nothing to them apart from update the format, bring in the repaint reviews and write a couple of lines on a variation I'd not reviewed before. |

Another vote for Fuzors. Alternatively, do you have any BW Mutants or Animorphs? Hasbro attempted to move away from the robotic nature of Transformers in both lines with catastrophic results. It would be interesting to see if there is anything worth revisiting in these figures. The human animorphs weren't much cop, but at least one of the bad guys was surprisingly impressive. Actually, I wonder if we will consider the Tri-Rex to be the predecessor to the rumoured Movie2 Arcee motorcyles in a few months? |

I've got no animorphs. There's a couple of brief Fuzor reviews up there, not sure I'd want to attempt them without the toys in hand.

So why did nobody vote RID ? And what should I do about the tie between BM & Fuzors ?

Hmmm. So whoever voted for Sausages actually meant to vote RID ? It's a tempting arguement.

I would just like to say how much I enjoy your reveiws, Phil. I dont' post much on 'em cosa time restrictions, but I always enjoy them.
Fuzzors for me, 'cos I've had such mixed emotions about them.

Thank you. It's nice to know people like what I'm writing.
I've had it suggested I might want to package some of them up in a Fanzine....

I'm done with BW until some of the missing toys (Magna Boss, Optimus Minor, Sonar, Scarem & Prowl) turn up.
I'm going to use tomorrow to deal with current purchases I've not reviewed (1dlx & 3 legends)
Then on Monday after we've spent the weekend entertaining a houseguest I'll start on the Fuzors !

Thank you. It's nice to know people like what I'm writing. I've had it suggested I might want to package some of them up in a Fanzine.... What a strange suggestion... A fanzine of toy reviews is a great idea. Alternatively, I wonder if a TMUK podcast would work. |

That's not such a bad idea, actually. Podcasts are much harder to do than seems obvious though.

Very true. It's often assumed that podcasts (and radio) simply involve saying anything that comes to mind. The better podcasts are carefully scripted and edited.

I like the Fanzine idea. The question is what to include ....
