Godsdammit! Every time I think I’m out… they f’n pull me back in!!! The one-eyed purple one is gor-gee-us! The ThreeZero MDLX Shockwave exclusive is amazeballs. Thankfully Shockwave is the ONLY Transformer I am still allowed to purchase.

Funko Pop Craig arrived
I do not understand why they released Craig with Stripe sculpted into the figure. By doing so, tooling (aka the mold) that is used to make these cannot be used to create a simple Super Craig redeco to go with the Wonder Tweek. It is very similar to how they sculpted Wonder Tweek’s head band…
🖸 BingoToys BT-01 Silencer 🖸
As many know, back in the day I used to be a massive Transformer collector with a then moderately read and followed TF Collector Blog. I still have about 3900 figures spanning different eras/lines that I will purge one day, but I haven’t been active in that community/fandom for about 15 years now. Anyway, I…
LEGO TNG Minifigs!
So LEGO announced a Star Trek: The Next Generation Enterprise-D set but quite frankly, I’m mostly interested in the minifigs! They beauty of minifig geekage is that it is small and doesn’t take up much space. I love that they’ve included a trombone accessory for Ryker, hot Earl Grey for Picard, and Spot for Data!…
Funko Pop! Television: South Park: Craig Tucker with Stripe
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!
