I don't have any Veritechs and don't want to have any either...  However, I shall oblige you. First, we'll start with Yoko because she's the best! :  Next we move to the DX Ozma. He may look familiar. A couple posts up, I posted my 1:72 scale VF-25S Ozma custom model kit in battroid ("robot") mode. This is the same machine, except it's not a model but a straight up figure, and it's in 1:60 scale, so bigger than the model kit:  Finally, we go to Ozma's Armor set. I put it on my VF-25F just for kicks, and because I think the colors do match up pretty well...Anyways- there he is in the armor:  Oh - and actually - that wasn't the last thing... Forgot about the VT-1. Not to be confused with the other orange fellow I celebrated a while back, which was the VF-1D....  As for the SOS t-shirt...I can't show you that. It's a secret sight; forbiden to all but those who worship Haruhi Suzumiya Kind of like Mormon underwear - I can only give you a glance and what awaits you if you first join the religion Pete |

Veritech? That be a Robotech term. Wrong universe entirely.... :-)
I do like the look of the VF-25S, it is a very nice looking design. Not had the pleasure of seeing one in the metal yet. (That's the one disadvantage of being assigned to a training unit - we are the last to get new airframes.). I think I am in a minority though, based on all the pictures I have seen I actually prefer the Armoured Pack on the Ozma and the Super pack on the Alto. There is just something in my brain that inists one goes with one and one with t'other.
The greys of Ozma's colour scheme do look really nice on the "clean" fighter mode though. I think its probably my joint favourite of the Frontier colour schemes - the other one being Michael's blue/white scheme.
I'm thinking I might pick up either the Armoured Ozama, or the movie edition Alto-Super at some point. We shall see what the Men from the Ministry say about the budget in due course....

Armored DX Ozma is unfortunately the only one worth getting, given that it comes with a neck extension and his hea lasers aren't bent in six different directions. Too bad you have to buy the armor to enjoy the added improvement Pete |

Frickin' WOW! TMNT Bonanza on my doorstep thanks to Bogatan. Forget Castle Greyskull, The TMNT Sewer Lair is top job!  Mucho thanks Bogatan. Have a torrent of Karma! ===KEN |

It is rather awesome isnt it. ;D Works as a toy box better than greyskull too. The one I sold on ebay ended up not selling as the buyer was just going around bidding with no intention of paying so I'm thinking of keeping it.
It makes a nice little side table too.

The Sewer lair is just amazing! It's even got a couch too! Thanks to this multi acquisition I also now own 4 Cheapskates (the hovercraft skateboard things) so my TMNT now have one each |

I got some more TMNT stuff including more Foot Soldiers towards the army. One particular character I liked out of the bunch is the Four Armed Shredder clone which I like to call Shiva Shredder. A 4-armed Shredder is good for sparring with all the TMNT at once. ===KEN |

Three new MG kits arrived today...and I'm not even done with my 1/72 Alto with Sheryl Nome decals  ...hell... "not even done" is an understatement...I've got one arm, the battroid head and the nose of the fighter done... I must speed up my model building - but first I need to clean my room. Impossible to build in a dirty room! Anyways - the three new Gundam kits are all Universal Century - as I've decided that Universal Century, or more specifically original Mobile Suite Gundam is all I'm building. Happily, UNLIKE a certain line of Transforming robots, there's only like...5 or 6 Mecha in the entire 40 something part series... I've already got Char's Zaku II v 2.0 and the RGM GM v 2.0 (one of my all time favorites it is!) Now I'm happy to have the v 2.0 Gouf! I've wanted a Gouf ever since witnessing how it kicked butt in the show and seeing how courageous Rambl Rah was .... and I'm happy to have this version 2.0 Also got the RX-78-2 version 2.0 - I mistakenly built a version KA only to end up selling it once I realized it wasn't the one I wanted... THIS is the one I wanted Yay. And finally - I got an MG Guncannon. I'm not expecting much from it, since it's an olde rmodel. That said, I LOVE Riu (the pilot of the Guncannon who is refreshingly realistic - aka scared out of his pants and falls in love with a cute girl despite her being an enemy spy - and then tries to help her)... So...yay Guncannon. In fact - this means all I need is the Guntank - and then I'll have all the main mecha from White base. Now if they'd just make an MG Kyashuki from Unicorn ... I'm getting the HG, for sure, but an MG would be ace too... Pete Collects from only the following Gundam series: MSG Unicorn Turn-A ...notice how there's hardly any mecha in any of those series (5 or 6 in MSG, pretty much 1 in Turn A and...two in Unicorn)... But the best shows usually have the fewest mecha... or...err...a bunch of repaints *cough!* Macross *cough!* Pete |

No Guntank yet? Now there is a pity. The Guntank is actually my favourite mecha from the original Gundam. Yes, even more so than the iconic RX-78. There is something about the Guntank that appeals to me. It seems as if its design team weren't entirely convinced about this Mobile Suit thing and so just stuck a torso and a pair of arms on the top of a "proper" tank. End result, it is ungainly, somewhat ugly and - to put none-to-fine a point on it - not very good in a fight.
Not that I actually own any Mobile Suits myself at all mind you. I don't find that Gundam is something that makes me want to own the mecha for some reason.

why does my Wolverine toy have a sword??? Probably supposed to be the Masamune sword [the only thing that can kill Wolverine]. Wolverine used it to cut off Sabretooth's head. Then it got broken and now Daken [Wolverine's son] has his 3rd claw on each arm made out of it. |

Yawn. The weather here in Warsaw is dark, drissly and depressing. So I guess you could say I was trying to bring some color into my life...  Just a little pose I photographed. It's odd. If somebody told me 5 years ago that I would have zero Transformers and instead be playing with dolls...I'd be a bit skeptical...as such... there you have it Pete |

I've been army-building model rats for my Rat King figure from old halloween stock knocking around.
What's the point in having a Rat King without any rats? and an army of that at that.
I'm also due a classic version of the figure sometime soon. The toy I own is the 2K3 version, which is cool in its own right.

Oh yeah - the Rat king I remember that guy - I liked the concept, but I always thought that his fashion sense was all wrong. I mean - green pants, a brown shirt and then those green bandages on his face...hm. And ORANGE hair?? I mean... I dunno...I think he needs an upgrade. As for me - I'm nearly done building my Gouf mobile suit for Ramble Rah! He's kind of a cross between the Terminator and that one kid from Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory who turns into a blue berry Pictures will be forthcoming as soon as I finish building his arms...which are all that remains... But in the meanwhile...here's Gundam, now complete with shield and beam rifle:  Pete |

Well.... That didn't take long My newest aquisition is Rambl Rah's Gouf! I love this guy - he's the most menacing Mobile Suite, in my opinion, ever to stomp foot on Earth And that electrict snake whip melee weapon...adore it!   Pete |

Damn you got some fine robots, Pete!
I got hold of some Marvel Legends customs a week or so back. Diablo, one of my fave F4 villians, Wizzard, which is a very well done figure, and, just for you Doc', KLAW!!! His paint ap isn't brilliant, but generally he's a good effort! Already been in conflict with several heroes he has!

He's kind of a cross between the Terminator and that one kid from Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory who turns into a blue berry That seems to be a fairly harsh way to describe Ramba Rahl. I mean, he's bit stout but hardly round.... :-) The Gouf is a nice looking kit - MSG definitely continues my trend of tending to prefer the mid-range to cannon-fodder enemy MS to the nominal "hero" mecha (the F-91 being the rare exception). I generally find that the disposable trooper-type hardware are the Gundam series designs I tend to like (Zaku, Leo's, that sort of thing) I'm not as keen on the Gouf as I am on the "redshirt" Zaku (as opposed to Red Zaku, obviously) but it is quite a nice design.

Hm. I was describing the Gouf, not Ramba Rahl in that quote...although now that I look at the sentence (and given what we know about Rahl), it does kind of look like I'm talking about him Pete |

He's a lot less ginger and unlike past versions this 2k3 version has an origin. 2k3 Rat King is the result of a supersoldier program gone wrong and to make things even more messed up he has a smidgen of Splinter's DNA. Gone are the soda-pop grenades and pied piper flute, this Rat King has a nasty cinderblock hammer. I'll take some photos as soon as the rat army gathers more in numbers. |

Wow. Did not know that Rat king got a revamp.. Now that you've described him, I've switched my preferences back to the old one - I miss him! But I'm curious of your picture Pete |

, but I'm guessing they're Gundam and Veritechs 
...hell... "not even done" is an understatement...I've got one arm, the battroid head and the nose of the fighter done...
