My new haul

Technically this is on theme.

Man, there is some serious glass being shattered in that pic!

We got the troop builder pack today; my little one has had the most fun feeding the extra heads to the Allicon.

 

[Dekafox]

Sounds like they need some Titanmasters too then!

 

[Gizmoboy]

I am loving the Troop Builders! They are a lot of fun.

 

[DocChloroplast]

We just “blue” ourselves.

 

[Sabrblade]

If anything, the blue on that Seeker looks the closest to that of Ion Storm, IMO.

 

[Gizmoboy]

The color isn't quite close enough to Bitstream for me to use that name. I will have to keep thinking about it.

I have an extra one if anyone is interested.

 

[Andrusi]

The Seeker is definitely more purple than blue in person IMO but also I remember getting into similar arguments about the very purple FOC Blast Off so /shrug

Practically indistinguishable.

(I couldn't quite get Hoist's torso into the right position. I don't know if this is a BC MW Hoist issue like his shoulders or just a "haven't touched one of this mold in years, forgot the trick" issue.)

IIRC, it's the former. ISTR having to disassemble and reassemble mine back in the day to fix that issue, but it was a simple procedure that was doable by anyone. I just don't remember what it was.

EDIT: This spurred me to go look up the procedure, and have found it. There's a piece inside the torso that was put in backwards.

Ah, that does seem familiar now. Did Electro have a similar misassembly and I actually bothered to fix it on him, maybe?

Checking those links, it looks like it was less common with Electro, but some did have the error as well.

Im pretending not to like the post

 

[LordGigaIce]

The bravest choices require the strongest souls.

 

[Blot]

Nah, it's just the better looking head. Swapped mine without a second thought.

 

[Galvaplexia]

Literally did not even know (or care) that this guy existed, let alone him existing at Ross. Anyway, found him when I went searching for all the Velocitron figs everyone seemed to be finding. And since he was $8 and I don’t have him I figured, “Why not?”
