Paddling X

Feels like a burst of lots of parcels. Firstly Planet X Swoop, great to have him back although a bit more wobbly than I remember and one wing not attached. Some loose bits which I hope I don’t loose. Sludge doesn’t seem obtainable at the moment so my head canon is that Paddles has taken his place on the team.




My first Pulsecon exclusive, Alpha Trion, arrived. The Scourge mold works really nicely although he shouldn’t have a gun. He’s actually for my Cyberverse display rather than G1 (since he didn’t have a G1 toy).



Then came a carded Marvel Legends Spider-Man. He’s got the animation deco, but given I’m keeping him carded it’s okay. I will keep him, Iron Man, Wolverine and Deadpool sealed on the retro cards. My plan is to make/buy some display cases for them and hang them on the wall.



Got the new Legacy deluxes, only opened Pointblank, really impressed looks good and tabs together nicely. I ordered some new wheels for Crosshairs as well, really makes a difference.





Also got Inferno, what an amazing headsculpt!



I’ve given up hoping for a SS ‘86 based Stepper so bought the POTP version. The car mode is cool, and overall a good figure.



Then came the blue team, Beast and Aayla Secura. The headsculpt on Beast is fantastic so very glad (but grumpy) to have replaced the old one. Aayla has a very neutral face but can do a two handed lightsaber pose so all good.




And finally, Clone Wars Darth Maul. (Is he still a Sith at that point?!). I’d have preferred him to be him with his initial droid legs but he’s pretty fearsome.



So a month of lots of stuff but nothing too large or expensive.
