I really want Jazz and Sunstreaker, I'd like Trailbreaker, Hound and Mirage, but I might pass on the other Minibots if they ever do them. It depends on the price point I think, if they're comparable to Bumblebee then fine, but if they're getting towards £100 it's got to be a pass. For some reason I'm not as keen on those other Minibots, perhaps because they were mostly a bit grumpy in the cartoon, perhaps because they weren't pretty sports cars.
If they do a toy coloured Shockwave then I'm on board, but other than Blaster, I think I'd pass on almost any other character that they'd reasonably do. Maybe, Reflector, I do quite like the random nature of some of the original Decepticons' altmodes. I assume G1 Dinobots are off the table, but would love to be proven wrong given the deluxe nature of the new Power of the Primes figures.
Thinking back to Titans Return, I've picked up a few more of the figures I was after - Seaspray, Wheelie and Slugslinger. I haven't opend the Minibots yet, but managed to find them in person. Slugslinger is fantastic, the colour and altmode is spot on, not quite sure about the head bring cartoon accurate (much like Triggerhappy and Slugslinger), but what a trio. I'm one step closer to completing the headmasters lineup. Bring on the Autobot Targetmasters!
I've picked up a few other random bits, action master Rad to complete my Lost Light action master line up and Henkei ghost Starscream for my beast wars display. Having him also means I can do quite a cool pre and post G1 Movie display. Also picked up 3.75" Jessica Jones, I'm not quite sure about her yet as although I haven't seen her Netflix series yet, I might prefer her MCU look (having not ever read a comic with her in). One of my collection rules is not to display characters unless I've seen something with them, so it's a moot point at the moment, but I buy the figures anyway just in case (to avoid potentially paying more at a later date!). The Agent 13 figure from the Civil War set might be a good base figure though.
Here's a random thought; somewhat inspired by a question to a podcast I listen to (WTF@TFW), what human characters would I want toys of? I'd like 3.75" posable figures of the entire Masterforce cartoon - the pretenders, the headmaster juniors and godmasters! Possibly not the Decepticon pretenders as I think they were larger than human size (though 6" scale might work for them), but Metalhawk, Shooter, Ginrai, Giga and Mega would all be great.
Have just seen that Vitruvian Hacks are doing a Kickstarter for a 3.75" scaled horse. Sweet! They've shown concepts for Pegasus and even a centaur, love me some mythical creatures! I believe it starts in March so will have to keep an eye on that.
Have been looking at Storm Collectibles Mortal Kombat figures (again). They look utterly incredible, high price for a 6" figure but the detail and accessories are amazing. The fact they've gone for MKI/II pulls me straight in. I feel that Sub-Zero and Scorpion would have to be bought as a pair, but perhaps Reptile by himself would be cool. I think he has the best accessories - acid dripping, force ball and animal head. Even a long tongue for replicating one of his fatalities. Goro and Shao Kahn look great as well, I've forgotten how much I love Mortal Kombat!
Have just watched a few festive episodes of Thomas the tank engine, as you do. Feeling ready for Christmas now!
