Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

"Show-off."Two of my resent figures:
I would love actual new pretenders. They could sell the inner robots in the main line and the (working) shells in a separate line (like RED).
Ok so I was SO. FRIKIN. HAPPY. To FINALLY get the quintessential version of ROTB Arcee that is this Beast Alliance version.
Notice I say, “was,” (and is she strategically posed in this pic)…
Little-known fact about me - for the cheaper versions of characters, I tend to get two copies of figures that I buy, just because QC has been so consistently shit lately I inevitably have to give one copy back to the store and declare it defective after I’ve swapped out broken/damaged parts between the two (and sometimes three) just to get a single decent copy. Well, I decided this time around, I won’t do that, and then I get this…
Face. Effing MANGLED right out the package.
. She’s packed in var mode, so I had no idea to be able to look cus her face is well concealed in that mode.
The one time I decide, “Nah, I don’t need two copies of this mold; I’m being ridiculous.” And this happens.
So naturally, I will be returning to Walbog tomorrow and hoping they still have the other two copies I saw there. Getting them BOTH. And hopefully, getting one decent, non-face-mangled Arcee out the lot of them.

Decided that I didn't like the jarring appearance of gray squares on Armada Prime's chest. I think this approximates the canon color breakup while adding some visual interest and a more gradual shift from red to gray.
It helps hide the gap where the doors should be in truck mode but robot mode is unchanged.
Looked in my box of parts and managed to build a decent-looking super mode gun. The TR Jumpstarter guns approximate the old toy's smokestack guns and the rest are random bits and bobs to arm base mode.

Aaaaand as “luck” would have it, someone mopped the other two Arcees, so I’m stuck with Bear Attack Arcee.
If you get some white and/or pink model paint, you can paint over the scratches. Either touch up the scratches area or (if the paint doesn't really match the rest of the face), paint over the whole face with a thin layer of white and then thin layers of pink until it's uniform. That's what I did with my Christmas Prime's white mouthplate when the white paint that came with it wasn't evenly applied.Aaaaand as “luck” would have it, someone mopped the other two Arcees, so I’m stuck with Bear Attack Arcee.
That's a bummer, though it is calling out for a Braveheart-like war paint.Ok so I was SO. FRIKIN. HAPPY. To FINALLY get the quintessential version of ROTB Arcee that is this Beast Alliance version.

Hey look I'm actually posting some relevant to the current thread theme (well minus Bumblebee but I did get Ironhide and Spike today lol)
It appears that the light pink is only on the face so painting over the entire face with a close enough commercial paint would probably be simpler than matching the shade.Aaaaand as “luck” would have it, someone mopped the other two Arcees, so I’m stuck with Bear Attack Arcee.

Agumon's out for blood.
Still Hoping Cannonball shows up in the Pirates subline...
Crasher looks so good, wish I could find either of these offline - edit, lol looks like I was a page back.
yeah I'd like a cannonball too... but I'm not the biggest fan of more of that skids mold

Maybe someone can find one for you at Ross? They've been showing up there for like $7
