Yeah big help, thank you. They're pretty big aren't they. Bigger than I expected.

The main thing that gets me is how solid they feel. Also the camera mode is pretty beefy once you've got all three together. It looks pretty nice sitting on my desk.

PE Mega Doragon arrived! (TM2 Megatron) It's very awesome looking, like all PE figures, though this one smells a bit.

DOES IT TAKE REAL PICTURES?!?!?!?! *EXPECTANT CHILD-LIKE FACE* Sadly not, although my 3 year-old is convinced it does and keeps showing me the pictures she's taken via the non-existant screen on his back  The scary thing is, we're probably not far off the point where a small digital camera probably could be embedded into Viewfinder... PE Mega Doragon arrived! (TM2 Megatron) It's very awesome looking, like all PE figures, though this one smells a bit. Oo, while there's no way I'll be able to pick that one up myself, I am looking forward to seeing the reviews of it. It looks really nice from the pictures. |

He's top heavy with the wings on, got to use mad balancing skills. Occasional paint rub and on mine, the socket for the tail was slightly misaligned, other are just saying it's super tight (eyyyy)

Mech Fans Toys Megatroun arrived yesterday, unexpectedly quickly (especially since I've been waiting over a month for MFT Slag, which is stuck with the "SpeedPak" courier).
What a cracking little Megatron he is too. The transformation is fun and he looks brill in both modes.

ATTENTION HUFFLOVER!!! (aka Matt)
With all the Siege Prowl excitement I forgot to mention a new 3P arrival in the Shockprowl household-
MECHANIC STUDIO ENGINEER!
He's a 'New Legends' scaled G1 Huffer and he is ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!
He's like a mini-Masterpiece. Extraordinarily good figure. Perfect scale, good plastic, amazing sculpt, simple but effective transformation.
He's very Sunbow styled. So if you like that then awesomeness. If I'm totally honest, I would have preferred him to be a touch more 'Generationsy', but glory be, HE LOOKS SUPERB. And fits the CHUG collection perfectly. I didn't even know this figure existed! I just stumbled across him on Ebayus. AND HE WAS ONLY 15 POUNDS!!! From some lovely people in China. I researched the scale, and found it to be spot on, so then thought he was worth a punt at 15 quid to fill a huge Huffer shaped void in my CHUG collection.
Hufferlover, you'd love him. If you don't have him already of course!
Edit- oh and he comes with 'stuff'. Huffer himself only has a welding torch accessory, which is decent enough. He then comes with a fairly odd little mini-robot-thing, which has it's own case and accessories. These accessories don't fit Huffer. It's... well, hard to describe. The front opens as though to fit a man inside. But there is no man. It's obviously supposed to be a 'something'. But I have no idea what...
There is also a Pipes repaint available fyi.

I am desperate for one of those, and the Pipes, but I've not seen anywhere with them in stock. Soon as I saw the photos and clocked the height I knew he would be a perfect Generations Huffer and posted about him in the 3P thread. Which eBay seller? I was genuinely pissed off none of the UK sellers got him in.

Errr it was seller, jitao*jitao
(sorry that's made me laugh hysterically, sorry)
Can't recomend this figure highly enough! SOMEONE TELL HUFFERLOVER, QUICK!
Edit- he was actually £16.50. That was the cheapest I found. There were a few sellers with them though. They've obviously come back into stock places. Place in Asia anyway.

A good week for toys here. Just got the KO Iron Factory Evil Lord (OverlordNB?) and the Hot Soldiers Goldbug who was a bit of a hit at the Glasgow gathering a while back. Cracking figures and I love the accessories that come with Goldbug. The craziness of the all-gold Ravage (HS Soundwave getting more tempting now), but the extreme usefulness of the spare screw they included for swapping the heads. Especially since I immediately lost the tiny wee thing when trying out the Bumblebee head last night.

Thanks to Shockprowl's eagle eBay eyes, I now have Mechanic Studio Engineer. What a Huffer! Perfecto Legends class Huff!  |

Post by Pinwig on Nov 15, 2018 22:23:23 GMT
Phil! What is this? It comes with Engineer and I think is a first production run bonus. It looks like 3P Diaclone to me - is that what it's supposed to be? The figure's legs fold up so it fits inside the little hanger, which closes up. The orange chest piece flips up and there's a little seat inside. What it's got to do with Huffer I don't know.  |

Yup, that's a Diaclone reboot KO but done using Huffer/Wideload's colours. Though the colours prob should be swapped round .....

How weird. Maybe they're trying to appeal to two audiences at once.

Ah, right. This one does have the two grabby clamps too. Huffer only has his oil can, the Diaclone figure's got about four different weapons.
