Mint in Sealed Box

Note: Some collectors like to keep their toys boxed, termed as Mint in Sealed Box or MISB. The value of a collectible drops if it is taken out of its original packing. I freed Shockblast soon after this picture though, can't stand to see him boxed up like that.. :)

Skywarp

2008-01-04T18:48:00.000-08:00

Classics Skywarp is the other half of the "Battle for Autobot City" which includes Classics Ultra Magnus. Skywarp is part of the three original seekers in the G1 cartoons along with Thundercracker and Starscream. Three other seekers also known as the coneheads would later join them in the series. All six seekers are available in the Classics line however I only own Skywarp. Skywarp shares the same mold with Starscream and Thundercracker(released as a Botcon Exclusive, hence dooming me to never owning one) with differences only in colour and stripe patterns. Skywarp is the best looking of the three with classic black and purple decepticon paint scheme and pays excellent homage to the G1 cartoon Skywarp, being the most accurate toy to date of the character.Skywarp's alternate mode is a black and purple F-15 fighter jet. He looks very sleek and really does look like he can 'warp' the skies.

The robot mode is even more impressive than its alt mode, being very accurate to its cartoon counterpart. However this accuracy comes at a price, which is very limited articulation. The head hardly turns at all and there is very limited arm movement. The null rays are supposed to attach to pegs on his shoulders but I prefer leaving them on the wings as they interfere with the wings when you want to move them. The colours are simply awesome and the afterburners on his heels are a nice touch.

Unknown to the other autobots Primus is actually a fan of human reading material and devotes a lot of time reading and understanding them.

Free that Decepticon!!

This is how toys really get out of their packages.

Classics Ultra Magnus

2007-12-29T18:55:00.000-08:00

This is a classics Ultra Magnus that I acquired in a 2-pack with Skywarp. He's basically a straight repaint of Classics Optimus Prime with minor differences like the autobot insignia on his shoulders. He is fun to play with and very posable. My only gripe is that the white plastic is prone to yellowing.
The alt mode is a white semi-truck with rounded edges instead of the traditional flat cab.

His smokestacks and the wind deflector thingy on his roof becomes his guns in robot mode.

Toys!!

2007-12-28T23:57:00.000-08:00

The recent Transformers live movie rekindled my interest in the transformers cartoon shows I used to watch as a kid. Since the movie I've decided to start my very own transformers toys collection. This blog will serve as a catalog for any toys I acquire and random diorama shots. As a starter here's a very mean looking Alternator Mirage pretending to look cool.
