kumtoshi: that's neat!! *thumbsup* :)

I'm not familiar with the Yamato line so I didn't know that they hadn't released a square-faced Strike Valkyrie.

Yeah, that's pretty much it - Jetfire is the Bandai DYRL Strike Valkyrie (with the square face) with the Super Valkyrie missile pod (instead of the Strike Valkyrie pod with the dual cannons) - it was a repaint of a prototype Strike Valkyrie which Bandai sold to HasTak but later Kawamori modified the design to include the dual cannons. I pointed it out because the VF-1S you repainted in that photo next to MP Starscream is clearly a pure Super Valkyrie with the round Super Valkyrie face which is inaccurate for Jetfire, who's meant to have the square Strike Valkyrie face. And yeah, the nose cone was rounded too - but that happened with a lot of Transformers including the Decepticon jets (their Diaclone versions have far pointier nosecones and they were solid plastic, not rubber).

echophonic: you know that the main Jetfire robot was a repaint of a DYRL VF-1S Strike Valkyrie, not a TV series Super Valkyrie (although he sported Super Valkyrie boosters), right? All my Optimi thus far...

following on from lamunes_2005's idea:

haha, neat! Here's how I have all my moofie figures displayed atm:

This is my first attempt at making a stop motion video. I don't have a tripod yet - I just rested my camera on top of a Bible and a Koran. ;)

I believe him - I've had just-as-weird things happen but a gentleman never tells. ;)

just cos you're ashamed to flaunt your Transfandom in public. ;p d: (try catching a bus in a really crappy Megatron costume some time) actually, I'm a pretty much shameless all-round nerd. When I was a first year uni student, I once held aloft a metre stick and did the whole, "Thunder! Thunder! Thundercats! HOOOO!" and my professor strolled up to me and said, "You really have no shame, do you?" lol :D

We all know that the greatest athlete in the world is The Homestar Runner - but at yesterday's school athletics carnival, Movie Preview Starscream proved to be the greatest athlete in the galaxy! Huttah!

I got mine from Blacktown Target, but I've also sighted them at Parramatta Target. Check out OzFormers and/or TAAU for more Australian sightings. ;)

Not really action poses, but meh... Here's a pic of all my Starscream toys thus... And here's a pic of all my Optimus Prime toys... I really should have waited until the proper movie toys come out before doing these shots, cos I'm probably gonna do them again. Doing Starscream wasn't so bad, but it was an absolute pain in the arse getting out all those Optimus Primes (because I keep them all on separate shelves). Graargh. Why do I punish myself like this... (/rhetorical question)

Punch Buggy! 'nuff sed...

My haul during this Easter Break:

Hey there, still trekking through the "wilds" (re: malls) of Malaysia on my honeymoon. So far have nabbed: + Alternators Ravage - for only AU$35! Alternators tend to cost $55-45 back home. + Reissue Galvatron - when this reissue came out, I opted to get the e-Hobby Galvatron II as I'm a greater fan of the comic Galvatron over the cartoon. But yesterday I saw some collectible stores where one was selling the purple repainted reissue for AU$85 - which is effectively the same as the original RRP for this toy. At that price, and considering that I won't be paying for postage as I'll just be carrying this toy home with me in my luggage - I was quick to nab it. + Okay, these aren't Transformers but they're not "knock offs" either because they're not based on any TF moulds. Like KOs, they are however unlicensed toys produced with the same quality as TF KOs. I'm sure we've all seen these kinds of toys - I'll just refer to them as "unlicensed TFs." I found 2 unlicensed TFs - one is called Busbot and is a robot with a gold chrome (interesting how these cheap unlicensed toy manufacturers will still use chrome yet Hasbro is reluctant with movie Optimus Prime) Gundam-esque head and a clear Gundam Beam Sabre KO and a yellow sword. It transforms into a coach (as in the bus, not as in your Phys Ed teacher). The other transforms into an American style school bus (those yellow ones with the black stripes) and has a really crummy transformation, but actually contains die-cast metal parts! I also saw MP Megatron on sale here. My MP Megatron should have arrived back home yesterday at a friend's house. I still need to confirm with my mate that our MP Megs arrived safe and sound, but just in case they haven't, it's now nice to know I have the option of directly buying the toy and bringing it back with me. I'll post pics up later.

The End

I made another photocomic! :D

Where did you get those TF Plushies from?!?!??!?!?! I so want some!!

"You're a toy! Use your karate-chop action!" (Toy Story)

I don't understand why Ultra Magnus would just stand there and let Megatron kick him, unless: 1) That skit was a tribute to "The Death Of Ultra Magnus" where he just fought like a complete retard and consistently allowed Sixshot to have free shots at him, or; 2) He's gone and learnt Sport Taekwondo under the delusion that it can be used in a real fight (a notion which was parodied in my "Tae Kwon Leap" photocomic in the last page). :P

Rosanna's mistransformed there, mate. ;)

Next time I do a photocomic I'm gonna try to keep each frame within the 400x300 range so it doesn't need to be reduced. Sorry... just don't really think about it at the time I make them. :P

lol. I love how your hand is so obviously visible... :P I used a few tricks on MS Paint to create flying effects when I did my MTMTE photocomic... Here I'm gripping Skywarp by the very edge of the toy and I later cropped the edge of the photo so you can't see my hand. Thundercracker is on top of an up-turned bucket, but I tried to crop out as much of the bucket as possible. "Bumblebee" was being suspended here by a piece of string! The string is hidden by the MS Paint drawn explosion. :P The jets here were on boxes which I covered by copying and pasting the surrounding wall and desk. "Laserbeak's" flight effect was created by simply sticking him to the wall! And Soundwave was held by my hand which is covered by that cheesy blue MS Paint drawn flame. :P
