Got round to putting the other shelving units up and spreading the collection out a bit. Except I made a complete cows backside of it and it took me far too long to do so I had to abandon the nice arranging that I was doing, but I digress. I recently mentioned that I'd finished collecting the CHUG, Movieverse and MP versions of the core strike planes. I restricted myself to the west versions Starscream mold of the CHUGs, the 2 Starscream movie molds and the MPs. The last thing I wanted was to be scraping about eBay Japan looking for every variant of movie Starscream or Asia exclusives of Rainmakers etc, trying to dodge KOs. I'm digressing again. Here's them laid out in the hangar. (with Nebular Starscream making a nice stand in Movie Acid Storm). In the 3rd pic I have another Starscream and 2 movie Ramjets, one of the Ramjets is that incomplete I think there's more of him missing than actually there, so the spares will become a couple of customs that I've yet to name but currently Firespark and Napalm while I decide on colours. There's also a spare MP Starscream that will become a custom, probably light blue called Coolstream.    |

That's an awesome set! You gonna display the Masterpiece seekers out of box along with Skywarp? I can imagine space/dusting on that would be nuts though!

I will be, that Skywarp is incomplete so I'm waiting on the complete version I bought to arrive then it's breakout for the jets and no doubt an attack on Autobot City. |

I will be, that Skywarp is incomplete ARRRRRRGH 'Nam flashbacks!!!!!!! Years back I bought a MP Skywarp who was missing a nipple! And obviously you can't just post the figure back to Japan. And then he was released in the UK and quickly fell to £20 in Argos. I was kicking myself for not buying Thundercracker instead. The moral is: Always go Thundercracker. |

Once you go 'Crack, you can never go back... Anyway, then I bought a Hasbro Skywarp to replace the nipple. But the nipple on the Hasbro release was a different colour (grey/black) |

Nothing quite as extreme as vanishing nipples, he came without the Null ray cannons. Which is a pretty bloomin essential part of his arsenal. The replacement I've bought is the Hasbro version, I'll need to compare nipples in case this one is the Takara release. I don't think my phone likes nipples, it autocorrected it to nippers then nappies. It also autocorrected the word autocorrected to autocorrect ed. |

I think the null rays were the same.
What was oddly different was that the plastic finish was completely different. The Taraka release was more shiny, the Hasbro one felt a lot more matte.

Now I'm wondering how many of my TFs have nipples and if any of them are missing. I really don't want to have to go check just now, the missus will kill me if I wake the baby up. |

Look, if you don't run about and do an emergency nipple check now, you'll be worrying about it all night!! I will. She'll wake up at 4am to see me still staring at the ceiling, ask me what's wrong, I'll tell her Transformers nipples, she'll think I'm a nutter and leave me. So really by checking now I'm saving our relationship. Yeah, I'm doing the right thing. |

Why doesn't Arcee have nipples? She has a belly button which caused a bit of a stir. Nipples would be too much I feel. Only MEN Transformers have nipples. If they're lucky and haven't lost them.

Ironhide: Ah rememburh the tahm on sahbertron ah lost mah nipples... I can't stop laughing at this. Forget waking the wee man up when I go nipple checking, my laughing will wake him up. I suppose that's good, if I wake him up I can blame you. |
