Black Zarak!!! The G1 is my holy grail and unless they do a reissue this is as close as I’ll ever get. He looks utterly amazing so providing he doesn’t crumble in to gold dust then job done. I hope at some point to get him on display with Fort, Grand and Scorps.
Had a fair few figures arrive, first up though was Blaster. He’s a little bit good looking. A bit of sloppy paint aside, he’s perfect. Then Lift-Ticket, Hoist looks good in red. I really like the mold so looking forward to it in blue and hopefully, yellow. And Perceptor. I’m less worried about the grey/blue than I thought I would be, more turquoise would be nice but it’s fine. Definitely an improvement over the original Generations and probably an improvement over Titans Return. I’m glad I’ve experienced the original though, like many of the original Microchange figures it was a bit special.
I’ve had my last Marvel Legends orders come in. Firstly the SHIELD agents set, new bodies for my Nick Furys, slightly cleaner without the wash, and less wobbly. The Excalibur set came in. Captain Britain looks great and is much more stable on the new buck. Meggan is a bit scary and (having no attachment to the actual comics), and prefer Kitty in her X-Men costume. Feeling a bit anxious about the lack of any Marvel or Star Wars preorders I’ve ordered Baron Zemo. Phew….
SLUDGE!!! He looks fantastic. Can’t wait to get him. Intrigued by the transformation. I think it will be a special moment when I have a complete set of X-Men, Turtles, Thundercats and Dinobots. I’ve got all the X-Men and Donatello should be on his way soon to complete the Turtles…….
***********
I’ve got all the Turtles! Donatello looks great, no sloppy paint like Michelangelo and much more stable than Raphael. The team is complete, that’s me done with Turtles unless Mega Bloks decide to do any more sets.
Leader SS ’86 Starscream has come in, no particular surprises. I like the mold and the accessories are fun. My other new SS figure (SS ‘BB), is Soundwave. He transformers into a nondescript speeder of some sort, but looks pretty cool. I wonder if I could be tempted by other figures if I actually watch the film?!
Baron Zemo arrived, he looks good and a more A:EMH accurate version than the one I had before, and that’s the most important thing!
And so that’s pretty much all my preorders in. Legacy looks a little while off. Perhaps time for a bit of Lego.
