Yeah, that's Starscream from Transformers Armada. And the Ultra-esque guy is Servo from Super-Human Samurai Sybr-Squad - a Power-Ranger-like chop job using footage from Denko Chojin Gridman ("Lightning Superman Gridman"). Coincidentally, I hear Gridman is going to be issued as a new Chogokin figure soon.
...there is no charge for awesomeness (or attractiveness).

Mojacko, and Ben: thanks for ID'ing these three bots.
Starscream tempts me to give it a touch up paintjob complete with panel-lines to its details; but I don't wanna mess him up, he looks too cool (and HUGE!) standing there on my dresser.
"Servo"... I knew it looked familiar, from that tv series with the kids goin at each other's throats via computer- one of them becomes "Servo" and then that other kid is an evil nerd sending out monsters into the cyber city....... ...Dang, SABAN comes up with some Crazy ideas! LOL!!!
That third figure definitely reminds me of VR Troopers... I'll look up Gridman at youtube.

I finally got my MonsterArts Mecha-Godzilla Effects parts today. Unfortunately, I don't have Mechagodzilla to show it off. Need to finish Hercules and RD Evas first.

Got these recently...
Evolution Yumi Sayaka - Late model and Limited Early Model editions. I thought they were gonna be sort of crappy, but they are pretty cool. You get two bodies, three faces, a helmet, a helmet with hair attached, gun, several hands, and some cast off clothing. Seriously, these are very, very cool... in a mischievious sort of way!
MonsterArts Space Godzilla
Another Ultra Act figure
SRC Zeorymer of the Heavens
and some toy-crack I found on sale at Target - a Redakai Gold Metanoid.
Hey, looks good enough to become an enemy for my SRCs!

Eh-hm, yeah, we get the point about that cool Sayaka figure. Her twin peaks there look better than most dolls I've played with.

Man, that crack bot looks badass! Right on, it certainly fits in good as a kikaiju... Bro, go off on it and see how many custom kiks you can make from it!

In another thread I mentioned that I ordered the Maketoys "Battle Tanker" and that the timing of the BBTS sale was good because just a week earlier, I had won an eBay auction for a corresponding "Reveal the Shield" Deluxe Optimus Prime.
Well, the Prime figure arrived a little while back (about a week ago). I have to admit I was a little bit surprised to find how tiny he was in robot mode. I mean, I have other deluxe class figures but for some reason it seemed wrong that Optimus Prime would ever be rendered so small. Hmm...
Anyway, I picked up the Battle Tanker kit from the post office today. I was surprised to see how big the package was (that's what she said!).
It's a little bit more fiddly than I'd like. The Fansproject designs are sharply sculpted and pieces come apart and fit together snugly. Whereas, this guy... well, I assembled him tonight and I'm just afraid of him snapping something if I turn a joint the wrong way as most of the major parts are hinged and connected to each other (unlike the Fansproject add-on kits that were mostly just body-armour and the built-up figure still relied on the original figure's joints).

April - I've been buying Masters of the Universe Classics all month. I have almost all the figures that I want. There are very few left on my list to purchase.

I have got to freaking share this!! This is my most recent toy purchase! A Godaikin Golion for $100 bucks that is only missing a few things. And I've got the booklet to go with it. All I need are a few missiles, weapons, and a repaired black lion and it is complete!!! Such a great steal! This almost never happens any more on Ebay. Yes I am super thrilled! I also have a near-mint Matchbox Voltron that I will be switching the lions over to this, and exchanging the weapons so it will be near-minty fresh. Deal of the decade! http://www.ebay.com/itm/230775902589?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
