I like how the chest window is evocative of a Cyber Key.

This opens a window into a Bizarro world where the original toys were held in high regard instead of the cartoon. I never watched the cartoon as a child. I had the first two years' toy catalogs. I'm G1 toy all the way. This is a dream come true!

“War Dawn” is specifically the name of the Dion/“Erial” set. It was reported that it was a SDCC exclusive.

It makes sense logistically if he’s a Leo Prime redeco/retool. But if he’s all-new, then that’s a shock. Then we wait for the Takara repaint into Lio Convoy, haha. I've been refreshing HasbroPulse all weekend waiting for that set to show up.

"I... am not... an animal!"

I'm missing two: G1 Wreck-Gar and e-Hobby Detritus. (And the Shattered Glass trio, which I do own, but didn't think belonged in these photos.)

Animation work is done after the voices are recorded, no? Voice work is not an indication of finished animation.

This is my concern as well, but I'm hoping she'll tie in well with Takara's Roadmaster. He's a Junkion and he's got purple on him.

Funny thing is, the Arial font was designed as a Helvetica knock-off to avoid paying a licensing fee.

I use the plastic grocery bags for some of the bigger items. The main concerns are losing pieces because they can be easily missed in the folds of such bags, so pop off anything that might get lost and store that separate. Aside from that, it's just about preventing figs from bonking into each...

I just moved across the country last summer, and now I’m going to have to move across the country again this summer. This is after living in the same city for 40+ years. 😮‍💨 I should say, I’ve always stored my stuff in zipper bags, going back to the late 90s. Just about all of my TF (everything...

I've always read that you can do a light soapy water wash to remove the stickiness. But it's just a natural part of plastics. I don't know the science, but some plastics just age this way. I've even had it happen to a couple toys that were just sitting out on a shelf, not confined. Here's a...

The old guy in the red and yellow shirt was the actor who played Billy in the 70s Shazam TV show. I quite liked the movie. I think they did a fair enough job balancing the eleven actors who played the Shazam people and their normal person counterparts. Going in, I wasn't looking forward to...

I don't remember. I have the original Armada, the Energon, and both the Takara and Hasbro G1 head versions. I went through them all last summer, but I don't remember which came with batteries, or if any did at all.

Oh, don't forget to take out batteries! The Armada Unicron mold, one of the later G1 head versions, his battery panel was bulging outward with bad batteries when I checked in on him this past summer. It's not a huge problem that I run into (I have hundreds of TFs that I stored in an alternating...

Yup, I own that one. I had him in mind when typing my previous comment. At least he’s fully based on the shell. I don’t think anyone wants a Metalhawk body based on inner robot but with human head. Cow skull and lizard face fit into the “that’s rad!” category. Human faces do not. I won’t say...

Considering his biological head is a human face, it would be 100x odder if they had.

I use a small chip brush to dust. I store in alt mode 95% of the time because it’s usually smaller. I put each fig in a zipper bag, then in a tub. But I don’t zip the bags so that the plastic can “breathe.” I’ve thought about drilling small holes in the bins for the same reason, but haven’t...
