I have never particularly warmed to the Funko Pop aesthetic of dust collectors. I’ve got the Wonder Tweek one (of course) and Rocket Racoon and obviously I’ll get Craig and Stripe. Very odd that they just went with a plain Craig deco. I can’t tell from the sculpt of Stripe, but I’m betting they could…

🖸 Marvel Transformers #8 🖸
It is extremely difficult for me to read the 80s Marvel US or UK comics. The writing was meh in most, and of course, being a licensed property, the typical art for the inside of the books was never much to talk about and the artists on the book varied in their sticking to any…
🖸 Frederic Pham Chuong’s Shockwave 🖸
An insanely wonderful illustration of the purple one-eyed monstrosity, and also my favorite Transformer, Shockwave. Since I’ve been out of the TF game for some time, I can only assume this is drawing is based on a new toy or his own interpretation of the only Generation 1 Shockwave. It is pretty great. Once Hasbro…
Autobot Blaster and his Soldiers
Now I haven’t been into the TF fandom nor the collector scene about 15 years now. Sure. I still have 4000 or so I need to purge, but on the whole, unless someone messages me with something to get my attend, I’m oblivious to it all. I recently stumbled across the art of Livio Ramondelli…
Transformers Animated Swoop
For the most part I liked the TFA style. It did play a little loose with a “bot” mode for Swoop though.
Transformers Galaxy Force Gasket (Patrol Type)
A Japanese Toys”R”Us Exclusive redeco of GF Gasket in black, white, and silver with police markings. Quite a beautiful figure actually. And these colors? Chef’s kiss!
Not a bad figure for a non-microscope Perceptor. Went with the Takara version since I liked the paint deco better, as I often do compared to Hasbro.
TF Universe Drag Strip (Exclusive)
The mold has been re-decoed so many times now, but it looks great in yellow and black. Kudos for Hasbro attempting a E-Hobby-esque packaging decor.
Henkei! Henkei! Alert (2009)
One of my top figures towards the end of my collecting era. Had to get the Takara version.
TF Henkei Powerglide
The G1 accurate color Henkei Powerglide is a great figure. Once again, Takara for the win!
