Week 223: BeachcomberYour top 5 Beachcomber toys please! 5) Universe 2 LegendSmall, but doesn't really offer anything new 4) 1993/4 G2Wrong colour, albeit a shiny wrong colour 3) 1985 G1The most 1984 Minibot of the 1985 Minibots. 2) EnergonWas a HOW MUCH toy for along while. Now much more reasonable, there's other Energon toys that go for MAAAAD prices. 1) Power of the PrimesYes it's not out yet. BUT It looks like the original, it's got more articulation than the original and you can seat a little man in it. Got to be better.

Besides we have all seen pics of toys that look amazing but disappoint in the plastic.

Phil!!! You can't vote for a toy which doesn't exist yet!!!! Besides we have all seen pics of toys that look amazing but disappoint in the plastic. -Ralph This is true. However POTP Legends Beachcomber can seat a little man and none of the others can so he wins by default. Phil!!!! G2 Beachcomber is the RIGHT colour!!! -Ralph Beachcomber is Blue. G2 Beachcomber is not blue. Maybe they might do you a POTP G2 Beachcomber if you're good. Phil!!!! How can you rate Energon Beachcomber above original, G2 and the legend??? -Ralph Personal taste. I'm very fond of that Energon Voyager mould! Plus they painted it blue, so I'd know it was Beachcomber, and not green. Interesting thought: Should Energon Cliffjumper have been called Sandstorm?

G2 is life. It trumps all over things. Therefore Beachcomber is green. Fact.

Week 221: Japanese Exclusive MiniconsYour top 5 Minicons that were only sold in Japan! Aha, one that is close to my heart! 5. Shot Ultimate Edition - such wonderful colours on the Land Military Ultimate Edition releases. A handsome team. 4. X-Dimension Rapid Deployment - not the best colours of the X-Dimension sets by some way, but anything that includes a Bonecrusher recolour... 3. X-Dimension Heavy Machinery - such lovely colours! 2. X-Dimension Nocturnal Assault - the Air Military team is already a nice set, but combine their pretty decent weapon modes with being in black... 1. Bomb Ultimate Edition - I ended up owning two of these in my quest to Own All Bonecrushers; my first use of Yahoo! Japan auctions and a proxy site paid off well. It's a lovely colour scheme on The Best Minicon. -Jim

Week 223: BeachcomberYour top 5 Beachcomber toys please! Much as I have a strong like for the character, I have only owned the two (not that there are many to have owned...): 2. Henkei - fairly neat, but at the same time a bit awkward, especially in Robot mode. I'm looking forward to the POTP version to replace him. 1. G1 - I owned this for a few days as a child, having swapped him for Seaspray. Only I desperately regretted it, and swapped back soon after (my friend felt the same!). Not that he isn't an awesome little toy; he just wasn't my Seaspray... I imagine I'd put Energon in at number 3 as it's a fairly decent toy. -Jim

I only have the one, but I'm pretty sure he'd take that spot anyway: 1. Trypticon - I paid full price for this as I had wanted one so much as a child and didn't dare risk missing it. Possibly foolish, but I now have a Trypticon! Otherwise glancing down the list it's a weird mix of insane and by-the-book redecos. I've always liked the look of some of the AoE Dinobots Unleashed set, I like the colours on Liokaiser but not so much the moulds, and that's about it really. And Predaking with gold instead of yellow, good grief... -Jim

Year of the Snake Optimus Prime! Lovely recolour of the fun big Energon toy. Great fun.
I haven't owned any other Platinums.
