B13's Collection

[MULTIPLEX]

Yup I got R2 on preorder. Look like we're getting Boba, Jango and an X-Wing. I'm definitely getting Jango if it's true. One of the few new trilogy characters I liked.

Any difference between Boba's and Jango's character general aesthetic, besides the colors?

Well those two figures above are Boba. You can tell from the cloth fatigues. Jango has metal armor on his pants. Also, both helmets have the circular dent in it, which is standard Boba. The article I read mentioned Jango is coming too but let's see if that is true or just an assumption. It would be an easy retool and one of the nicest 6" figures to date IMO. Here's a side by side comparison of the two.

Nice comparison pix, I didnt know there was metal plates for Jango, I thought it was just a straight repaint.

Hello!

I am closing today another chapter of my toy collecting journey. Not happy with MP-11A Acid Storm representing the Masterpiece spot in my seeker evolution setup, I demoted him to make place for MP-11SW Skywarp. This is a much better fit to my Skywarp iterations display.

See the difference!




I decided to give Acid Storm at least some more armament, equipping him with missiles and a MP Megatron gun accessory.



Thank you for passing by!

Hello!

Waiting for Apollyon is a boring activity... unless you take the time to prepare his arrival! I must not be the first one to do so. His spot his ready here though, look! He's not there!



I find the look of the missiles and bombs provided with the G1 Hasbro Skywarp reissue terrible. I replaced them recently on my figure with a set of G1 small bombs found on eBay. The difference is formidable! It better be because the price of these small bombs is terrible.

Before: After:

I also purchased a seeker believing he could complementer my Skywarp evolution setup, but the result is far from looking good... Find the runt!



His replacement is now awaiting pickup at the post office and this Classics figure will go back directly where it came from: to sale!

I always wanted a clear Transformer but none of the available offerings fit my taste. I remembered owning an old clear Rumble despicable-KO and started customizing it using my best skills: removing stickers and washing in soapy water! And what a result! That scratches my itch for a clear figure for 0$!



Thanks for reading me again and have a good evening!

Hello!

The end is near...!
The end of my collecting adventure that is!

I feel it in my guts. As if I drank a concoction of joy mixed with a pinch of proudness and a drop of anguish. Weird feeling.

Apollyon will soon be mine and this will close the deal! I now have all I wished for and more. I'll keep an eye on the Masterpiece series, in case of Megatron V2, but I don't really care for more.

What will I do now with all that Transformers-time??? I really don't know yet.

Anyway, I wanted to post pictures of the evolution of my display. It grew, it changed, but it remained true to it's aspiration.

Here we go!

Hi there!

I recently put my hand on Apollyon, a longly awaited figure for many of us! I was disappointed by its whole quality and decided to never transform it. The gun mode is not up to my expectation anyway...

So MP-5 came to the rescue! Yes, that hated MP-5!

I transformed it very fast using a video review and the experience was actually not that bad. Now I have the best representation of each "Masterpiece" mode on top of completing my evolution set up for Megatron. I am now satisfied and my collection is really and finally complete!



I decided to have some fun and played around with the toys. I suggest an easy mod to your MP-11A Acid Storm using a silver paint pen. Just press it slightly on each tip of the radar dish.



Sideswipe told me that he's tired to ride for the others and jumped on Grimlock!



I found out that the silly seekers cannons from the Classics mold were better used as a single gun.



Thank you for watching!
