I love the fact the Talon Fighter has a big handle you can shove up its arse to assist with WHOOSHING. At least Mattel aren't ashamed of making toys. I was reading the description of Hasbro's latest GB Ecto-1. One of the listed selling points is "wheels that move". No shit! A toy car should have moving wheels by default. IT'S A TOY. -Ralph |

Which is worse, really, but at least it's not an actual human thinking that rolling wheels on a toy car is a selling point. |

It reads awkwardly in places, but I'm not sure it's completely AI. I quickly pasted it in a couple of well-known AI text detectors and got a 26% probability.
I know people at work who use ChatGPT for a rough first draft which they then edit, maybe that's what happened here.

Goink. Ordered last night about ten o'clock, they're being delivered in two hours time. Which is annoying because I have to be gone soon to go to the TF 40th thing. I wonder where Smyths' warehouse is round these parts that means they could have come that quick because there are no shops anywhere near here showing stock.

Grabbed an Extendar. Too daft a toy to miss out on.

Phew. Thanks, Phil. Again, I'd totally forgotten about that. Money sent.

I obtained two holy grails today, that I've wanted in plastic form since seeing them in the cartoon - Dree Elle and Uncle Montork!
Though I'm sure they actually Smurfet and Papa Smurf under those hoods.

Saw Terroar, Lord Gr'Asp, Cartoon Stratos and Cartoon Mer-Man in Smyths today. Had them in my hands but left them as I was busy having a severe panic attack at the time.
Another day, perhaps.
Nice to see MOTU back in a mainstream brick and mortar store though.

It is nice to see. Their website has the next two cartoon wave figures up as coming soon too so they're obviously intending to continue.

Terroar and Lord Gr'Asp out of stock for home delivery. Nevermind then. I have missed my chance.
(Without a lift, Smyths is 90-120 mins away on public transport so I rarely go).

It'll be interesting to see if they get the Deluxe from that trio of figures, Necro Conda. He's got glow in the dark parts and the snake tail that came with Lady Slither as an extra.

Picked up a Turtles of Grayskull Ram Man last week - it's a beautiful figure!
There's a lot of bulk and character to it - it's a great sculpt with some fantastic details, but one thing that really makes it is the use of translucent purple plastic for the body. It works incredibly well.
I'm definitely being picky with this line, but I'm looking forward to picking up a few more.

Yes, wonderful figure. All of the figures in the turtles line are super but he works particularly well.

Extendar has arrived but I am worried about those hands, shoulders and face.
Swirly gold plastic...
