Nothing from the Animated line will ever be better quality than other lines. Animated can only hope that another line ends up quality wise as bad as it was. Especially Arcee, thumbs cracked off super easy and finding good paint was a nightmare. This Prime Arcee is pretty solid. Kibble can get a tad bit bothersome, but we've dealt with a lot worse. Well worth it!

That is why he is worth it! I was eh, so-so on this from the start. Got it on the Walmart online sale with free shipping and I'm ultimately happy that I did! Some figures are just fun, some are great for their presence within a collection. This one is surprisingly both.

Not so much a pose, but showing off a nice display piece.

Personally, Energon Bulkhead reminded me more of Blue Thunder. Cybertron Evac could have been bashed into an Airwolf. I think someone did that custom...perhaps multiple people.

DIE!

LOW BLOW! Kitties like Transformers too!

For anyone who has the new dino Megazord, how is it? I've seen them and they look pretty neat. I'm not a Power Ranger fan, but I have to give some credit to Power Rangers for rekindling the collector in me. I used to watch the original Power Rangers with my nephew and it was my original love for TF's that made me watch to begin with. Anyway, after buying the Power Ranger stuff for him, Beast Wars came around and then I got him into that and it's all been down hill ever since. If it's really that good, I may get one just for kicks. Back on topic, I had a good weekend... Bludgeon Recon Ironhide Universe Hardhead (for $15) Universe Special Editions Prime, Megs, Dragstrip, Overkill from Marshalls. ($10 each...SWEET!)

I took some bits from a plastic bubble from a figure and cut it up so it had tendril looking ends and went over it on both sides with glue from a glue gun. Then I simply rolled it up, added glue to hold, painted it with clear yellow and orange paint and that's pretty much it. I had to do a little work to get the flames to separate at the ends like that, just a little heating and manipulating, but it turned out pretty good.

I corrected a small oversight.

Soundwave is a Voyager, Wing Saber could be in the case with Sky Shadow, at least I hope he is. Soundwave and Wing Saber are probably the 2 figures I've been most looking forward to getting for the entire series so far. I hope I manage to come across them soon.

So far, so good this week. I went to the post office today to mail off some packages and the lot was full. I needed to kill a little time so I went over to TRU and to my shock (pun intended) I found an alt. Shockblast! :clap Then I went back a little while ago and got Sixshot and Overcast. My nephew bought Wing Saber so I got the Sixshot and Overcast for $20. :thumb Also, I found Bonecrusher and Wideload the other day. 2 down 2 to go! :thumb Now if I can find Blackout and Blight by the end of the week I'll be all caught up. :bounce
