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.

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!!! ;D That third figure definitely reminds me of VR Troopers... I'll look up Gridman at youtube. Thanks!  zozo-mag |

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! ;D    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! ;D }D |

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. ;D ======== 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! zozo-mag |

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. ;D

I bought Revoltech Anguirus from Comic Con. Unfortunately, I didn't see Robot Damashi Eva Unit 2 earlier and I couldn't exchange it.

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! www.ebay.com/itm/230775902589?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 |

@ TMZ: those white Wolf Orphwhateverit'spronounced figures looks Badass, and I like the "celtic" artwork on them. They certainly are a major difference from our usual eye-candy of typical robot toys sightings here at RJ. zozo-mag |

You know, I love coming to this thread every couple of days because I realize we often forget that "toy" is not exclusively "toy mecha" and I love seeing the stuff that everyone talks about. My most recent toy purchase is actually some additional darts for Nerf guns... I may or may not have mentioned this before but my buddy and I scour the local thrift stores for second hand Nerf blaster toys but often they're missing the darts. Last night I discovered that Walmart Canada did a "rollback" on Nerf ammo - you can get like 30 darts and a pair of "clips" (or magazines) for just 10 bucks. And I think the "vortex" disc ammo is also $10 in a pack of 10 with its corresponding magazine. Earlier this week I also picked up a Nerf Jolt - the super tiny hold-out pistol (I love it!).  |

Revoltech's Gaiking #024 at Boston Comicon last weekend.
I grew up watching these guys on F.F. up here in New England, Had the Mazinger Shogun and the Dragun Model kit (Monogram?)
I had no idea they were still so popular...I figured they got lost in the shuffle of Transformers, Robotech and cheesecake anime.
Saw him looking at me whilst my buddy perused the Batmobile diecast.
Very different from the static, ramrod-straight poses from back in the day.
The fact that I want to get the Revoltech of Grendizer, Mazinger and the three Getter is both a good and bad thing.
Thought I'd come here to find out what I've missed in the past thirty years!

Well, started off May with Terrorcon Cliffjumper. It's much better than I thought it would be. The remolded head is great and the translucent purple that it is molded in has a slight metalic fleck. I have yet to apply the stickers and I might just leave them off. I really like the all consumed by dark energon look that it has. As for the arms micro, it's not bad. Easy to put together and looks quite good.
Personally I would have prefered more paint apps rather than the stickers, but I know that would have increased the price.
