rock & roll with real rocks!

his car mode, awesome!

his bot mode, even more awesome! as i said before, it is dry around the rhode island area as far as wave 3 goes...but i did snag him from a person in CA. i just couldn't wait any longer! on the show, he is my favorite of the guest characters, so i really wanted the toy of him very badly! i have no patience, no will power, and yes, i am addicted to plastic.

when i flipped is head up i saw his sadly painted face. or rather, mispainted face. the black was splashed over his forehead, and then missing along edges it should have been. being the artistic gal i am, i mixed up a matching dark grey/almost black, and filled in the blank areas. then i took some rubbing alcohol, and wiped the black splash off his head. i think all things considered, it came out really well!

i just wish the QC problems weren't so rampant in the tfa toys! this is the 4th one i have had to 'fix'. is it normally this bad? or did hasbro pick the worst factory ever to contract with? i don't think a single one of my older ones i bought have needed any 'fixing'...

i guess he is lucky to have landed at my house...where he could have a little make-over...

oil slick, ninja bot?

well, i had left him trapped in his package since i first posted 3 weeks ago about missing getting the rest at 8am that monday morning. i have checked every target & walmart since almost daily and no other signs of wave 3 anywhere to be found. out of frustration, i snagged jazz off a person in california, and once jazz arrived my anger towards mr. oil slick lessened, and i let him out this evening. he is actually very awesome! and i wish my pictures did him better justice!

he is a non-show character, so i read his bio on the back of the box, to see that he just like prowl & jazz has been trained in 'circuit-su" (like jujitsu?). that makes 3 ninja bots... i wonder what writer came up with that though!

activators are actually awesome!

okay, so i was not sure i wanted one of the activators. afterall, they are meant for the really little kids to play with...but they looked pretty darn cool at botcon, and when i came across them today i decided to buy one to see if i liked it or not. i definitely like it!

mostly, i love the push button transformation! very awesome indeed!

pretty neato for $10! when the optimus one is out, i might nab him too...and i am starting to think maybe i want the starscream one too...we'll see...

i am still waiting for that wave three of deluxe tfa toys to arrive in the ocean state. the sightings boards put the wave as coming closer... down the coast a ways into Connecticut. i am hopeful that this week might finally be the week they arrive here...

out of package

i finally got around to taking first, some much better pictures of sun streaker:

i LOVE how his head transforms, it totally hilarious and awesome!

and i did finally let megatron out of his package...

and if anyone was wondering, his arm cannon switches sides, no problem.

where's the unlucky draw?

okay nala, i would have never even known about this amazing insanity if you hadn't talked about it at botcon, but dear god! really? a gold plated prime?? for serious??? i suppose since the price at that faire is merely $390 it isn't as bad as say the 30 million dollar diamond bikini... stiil. nala, you better get on it, and start your unlucky draw!

saber, of fate stay night

yesterday a box from big bad toy store arrived, contained within it was a figma figure of saber from 'fate stay night'. apparently it is a video game, but i am not into that sort of thing, what i watched was the anime which was really awesome. i blame my fellow blogger zak for getting me to watch it... when i saw the figure was being released again i had to get her.

cartoon network please bring back transformers animated!

well, it seems the word on the internet is that although they are most likely going to do a season 3 of transformers animated, it has yet to be 'greenlighted'. so i wanted to make sure my post was google searchable, and make a plead on my seldom read blog to cartoon network to please keep transformers animated going. it is the best show on right now, with foster's home a very close second... that's all for now!

you have jammed my gears for the last time autobot!

well, its over for now...and an excellent ending with cool open ended holes for next time! i quite enjoyed seeing blurr transform, and i have to say i am totally in love with his new design! i also loved seeing omega supreme make an appearance, and i of course have been enjoying the new constructicons since they first appeared. my favorite line was when scrapper said, "what's a cyberton?".

and the ending credits were awesome! when i watched on saturday the dumb announcer was talking over them, so i was quite happy sunday to watch again without the interruption, and it was so funny! i don't care if other people don't think starscream's voice is as good as G1, this isn't G1, its TFA, and i think he is perfect! i also have a new even more deep appreciation for those voice actors behind this show, and Susan Blu for directing them so expertly. there is a cool interview with Corey Burton on seibertron, which i certainly enjoyed reading....

i am looking forward to the next season!!

streaks of sun

well, i snagged me a sunstreaker. from pictures i had decided that i would pass on prowl & tankor. but man, sunstreaker is really awesome! i am so happy i got him! and it turns out they are already sold out at the local toys r' us already too.

i have been checking the local meglomart stores that have reportedly had wave 3 at them in other areas in the country. but nothing. it is really frustrating. i am fearful it will be a repeat of that MP starscream...it was literally 2 months after it was suppose to be on shelves before i saw mine, and when i did, he was 1 of only 6 the store ever got... i guess if the wave 3 ones don't hit the stores here i can always just buy them off the website, but still. i wanted to find them at the store. i mean, to be honest, its more fun that way... thrill of the hunt and all that. at some point though, i need to decide if my desire for owning the item is greater than the desire of finding it myself...

tidal wave!

no wave 3 deluxes...but apparently the leader class is out & about in toys r' us!

so i got one big awesome megatron instead of 3 awesome little ones. i am okay with that! he is pretty kick ass, and i have to say, one of the things i love about the tfa toys, their legs are always really cool looking, including this guy! yay for awesome animated designs! thanks to Derrick Wyatt for being so awesome!!!
