Had a little bit of a clear out of old figures I don’t want anymore, completely forgot I had Generations Tracks and Perceptor still. I think this is the third time I’ve had a really good de-clutter. Quite a lot of it was as a result of having doubled up on Decepticons/Predacons (and then deciding that was a bad idea), but it’s amazing how quickly stuff stacks up.
Although it’s always a painful exercise it does feel pretty good, and I feel like my Marvel and Star Wars collections are where I want them. Need a couple of extra Transformers (sets), and need to decide what I’m doing with some Lego bits.
Finally managed to pick up a Hydra Stomper for a reasonable price. It’s huge! I’m rather happy with this picture. I figure it would be quite a neat addition to my MCU Iron Man armoury - perhaps in the regular universe Howard Stark still built it but it didn’t get used.
I’ve put in a preorder for the third MP Trainbot. I had a bit of a wobble but the latest round of pictures kept me on board. The first figure is out now, just need to track it down from the delivery service.
Had a big delivery of random bits. A couple of Grimlocks, I’m mold complete on a single toyline. I’m keeping the Reaction Grimlocks and Deadpool mint on card - my first foray into MOSC collecting.
I’ve bought some Vitruvian Hacks figures for customs. More with these soon……
Sludge has arrived!!! He’s a great size. The robot mode is fantastic, I’m not quite sure what’s going on with the underside in dino mode. I think the transformation is more complicated than it needs to be. The dino headsculpt is great though! And a listing for Snarl has just popped up. Yessssssss!!!!!!!
I built the Statue of Liberty, a different sort of build as quite repetitive but perhaps a bit more relaxing. I think Spider-Man looks good on it. Looking forward to August for the Sanctum Santorum for more New York theme stuff.
Super 7 Mumm-Ra turned up. Great to finally have it, I was expecting not to like the blue (wanted a more toy/cartoon accurate green) but actually, it’s completely fine and given Super 7 (briefly) showed off hype deco, definitely prefer this version. Sounds like some people have Cheetara now.
Having quite a calm couple of months in terms of only buying things I planned to get. Long may it last!
