Badcube Huff also appeared today, 3 separate boxes all from Kapow..

...OH

I first read this as all three boxes contained bits of Huffer, and actually went to google a picture to see what sort of giant monstrosity this Huffer was!

[Pinwig]

All three monsterbots together! nice!

I'm pondering Klaatu. He just looks right for Cosmos and he must be waaaaaay down the line for Takara if at all.

[Dezzeh]

When I got Feilong, I knew I had to have the others.
Think I will pass on the Pipes they did to go with Huff though, probably.

Klaatu does look pretty interesting, very sunbow, would need to see some proto's first though.

[Dezzeh]

Speaking of which, ocular max just put some pics up on their FB page

[Pinwig]

Yes, three Cosmii all of a sudden. It's the Sunbow look that attracts me to Klaatu. That's where Takara has gone so other aquisitions must follow. X-Trans get some likenesses spot on, and the reviews I've seen of this one say they've stepped up the quality. Apart from Sphinx, the Ocular Max stuff doesn't quite fit Sunbow in my eyes.

Are Takara going to do Cosmos? Seems unlikely to me.

[Dezzeh]

I wouldn't hold out hope for an official Cosmos any time soon

What, apart from the Legend that's currently out in the US?

[Dezzeh]

I meant more MP scale with detailing and etc.

[Dezzeh]

Zeta Whirlblade in the house. A cursory look pleases me.

[Dezzeh]

Me again. I took sir Pin of Wigs advice and bought myself a “no cancer” present.
MMC Malium Militia and Tyrantron on the way! Yay Kapow!

[Pinwig]

Oop. It wasn't me. I wasn't here. Good lord, don't tell your wife that.

[Dezzeh]

I've told her it was definitely on your advice. Thanks!

[Pinwig]

Err, right. Soooo... bang goes *that* TFN dining companions option...

[Dezzeh]

Luckily all will be forgiven because I don’t have cancer. It’s all good.

[Philip Ayres]

If you don't have Cancer, how about getting Squeezeplay instead?

(sorry!)

[Pinwig]

Ba-dom-tish!

He's here all week, folks.

Oh my god phil no

no phil no

[Dezzeh]

A pun so glorious that mayhaps I should !

[Dezzeh]

Tyrantron, Malium Militia and Thunder Erebus have arrived!

[Dezzeh]

Just bought Richthofen, NO REGRETS!

[Pinwig]

Resistance: Futile. 

[Dezzeh]

Heckin' damn. I should have got one. I have regrets.

[Pinwig]

I've passed on loads of 3P figures I've wanted to buy this year, but I can't see Takara making one of these when Megatron was £160. I did some selling and ended up being able to get him for thirty quid plus a couple of days of eBay/car boot time in the summer. Omega Supreme is one of my Autobot dream team and I've been waiting for this since FT announced they'd make one about four years ago. He's now the backbone of my Autobot MP collection while Toyworld Devvy is on the other side. Don't need MP citybots, they'd never be in scale.

[Dezzeh]

Howling Meteor has landed. I'm glad MT found a way to get this one out, it's loverlyyyyy.

[Pinwig]

I saw you were pondering Quakeblast, did you bite? I've tried to get that figure twice from eBay, both times from dodgy sellers. Very tempted.

[Dezzeh]

I haven’t done yet, I’m trying to hold off anything that I haven’t preordered already, at least until the house moving is finally over.
I do really want one though so we will see how long that lasts..

[Pinwig]

I do too. My only worry this far down the line is that his shiny angular look might be a little too far from the Sunbow style for him to fit in with the newer MPs. But I'd rather spend fifty on that than £55 on Grotusque!

Wow.

[Pinwig]

It's true. I bought a leg.

[legios]

So, you're saying that you are a "leg man" then?
