Got and opened Lio Convoy and Tarn, what a great pair of voyagers. Combined with Jhiaxus it’s been a great month for voyagers. Definitely the sort of niche stuff which I really appreciate now.
Speaking of which, Twincast and Metalhawk preordered for more Japanese voyager goodness. Shrapnel preordered for some Insecticon goodness and Crosscut for Diaclone. Yay! And Beachcomber on the way.
Because of all the leaked listings we pretty much know everything Transformers we’re getting this year, but there are still quite a lot of unknown exclusives and presumably we’ll get leaks for next year. Most of the figures I want could be repaints (at least four new molds needed!), so he’s a list of 25 figures I want, and I’ll see how I did by the end of the year (I’m assuming the deluxe Insecticons are a done deal since they’re on the artwork). The Omnibots could be repaints of existing molds but I wonder whether they could work as repaints of RID or Unicron Trilogy characters.
For deluxes, the Omnibots (3), the remaining Diaclone car repaints (4), Powerglide, remaining Throttlebots (5), Autobot car Powermasters (3), Sureshot and Hosehead. For voyager, just Sunstorm and Leozack. For leader, Thunderwing, Thunderclash, G1 Skyquake, Nova Prime and Swoop.
Found a Cyberverse Swoop (‘Bumbleswoop’) in a discount store to complete my Dinobots. Not sure whether I’ll keep the ones that aren’t Grimlock or Slug, but it’s nice to have the option. Speaking of Dinobots, Snarl looks good and chunky, hope the colours match.
***************
More leaked listings…… Sureshot and Swoop!!! Very happy. Hopefully we also get the Autobot Powermasters as repaints of Mirage, Pointblank and Sureshot, but most importantly of all I hope we get the Throttlebots.
Snarl preorder in!
