Mattel is the dumbest fucking toy company that's ever printed their packaging in English. They bought MegaConstrux only to smother the single-greatest innovation in articulation formats since the Joe swivel-arm beer grip and keeping it stuck in a losing brickplay line that was *never* going...

Maybe ten minutes at the worst, most of which was in going back-and-forth test-fitting bits. Honestly, you could probably just cut the pegs off and glue the fucker together outright to simply slip it off and on. Like I say, all these issues are *over* compensations, not under. The toy bits of...

That's almost entirely because Mattel doesn't give them torso joints, which means they can do them as hollow two-shells instead of the heavier solid injected pieces BotM uses to give them said torso joints. If Mattel made them *right* they too would need support stands. And that brings me to...

Got my HelinaTooth set put together onto my Void Smiley as I'd been wanting to do ever since he was announced. I moved the blades to the forearm guards as they make more sense as slash-assist weapons than rider guards, and the mini-missiles make more sense as rear-and-upper defenses where they...

I do like my Smiley; but I also do wish he could get into the cattest cat pose I see my lazy bastards doing nearly every time I look at them:

Here's Argenteus Ross. Having a bit more mass to him they gave him spinning-meat hindarms so everyone can be happy. The blades snap very nicely into both his pack and forearms; apologies for no pics of such. It's the day after Election Day here in Texas and we've got a metric shitload of...

Agreeing that I'd prefer a wider armspread, it's interesting to note paleontologists don't appear to pose Smileys with a lot of arm-spread. Aside from the disassembled layout pic and maybe the crouched-down-on-all-four pic these all look like poses CyberSmiley could hold. Silva's been honest...

I'm very happy with these two quality-wise; and any changes I'd suggest would be to *ease* up on the tolerances of a few things like the knees being super-stiff to bend even after cracking them, and the head's neck socket being a bit too narrow for easy head-yanking. I'll be shaving out all the...

I am absolutely *loving* how this Fire Guard dude is so obviously Native American/Latino. Most times we get such characters as just a white guy painted with a tan; but this head looks deliberately NA/L to me. YES, MORE AUTHENTICITY TO THE ACTUAL HUMAN SPECIES IN MY TOY COLLECTION, PLEASE.

Shit, I left my x-acto at home and these figures are *encased* onto the cardback. Argy's release will have to wait until I get home.

Indeed she is. You can get the same overall offering with Dragolina and her regular-release green-armored Smiley; but this particular set was KS-only. I got my Dragolina, Fire Guard, Argenteus, and this set Friday - no shipping notice that I ever saw come across my phone - and opened one per...

Why is SureShot's gunbot not as articced the HeadMasters were? ThisIsAnOutrage.gif

I've got 4, maybe 5, of those items due to me. I've got the hover-fighter on PO thru BBTS so I'll get that some time following the heat death of the universe after this one. I'm waiting on that Sabretooth to come in so I can swap my black on into the armor and use the blonde one to update my...

Are y'all getting shipping notices beforehand?

Going to clearance doesn't mean the product itself was a financial failure. If they were unprofitable they wouldn't keep making Titans at all. C'mon, this is ridiculous underpricing. Even when Legacy was out 5 of those shitty SpinApprentice figures with no torso artic, garbage-ass light...

I'm not sure an interior light would make a lightcycle look better since they never had any point-sources or glow to them. The 'circuit glow' was mostly in the set walls but not seen in the CGI exterior shots of the vehicles; and only in the interior of the Recognizer since it was, again, a...

HasLab as a concept is a dream we've longed for since the 80s: no interference from the retailers. HasLab as a execution is insulting garbage. Just let a dude put a goddamned pre-order in for shit like you do for every other goddamned product you fuckwits make. Can we *not* with all the...

There was a Perfect Dark 12" figure 20y ago that had the typical Barbie hard tits but with an additional overlay holding a layer of air in there. They did not feel like proper bags of sand, more like bubble wrap with a pebble inside.

Got the Incoming notice that Classics Megatronus is about to hit my Pile.

Mine doesn't even have peg space for the Epic line any more. Just Black and them mix/matchers.

See, told ya he was cool:

Apologies for killing the only HasLab I contributed to, everybody.

Shit, I literally bashed the TFOne Megs and the ParallelU Megs together to make a so much cooler Megs fiddlin' in bed last night and left him by the bed this morning. He's cool, I promise!

Swoop bot or bird? My li'l fucker Caesar chewed up my bird Swoop to give him some battle damage so was pleased to get the fresh dupe.

HasLab Surcharge: $34.99 Assholes. Gimme another lightcycle like fac says, you dicks.
