Combaticons Army (KO)

Was browsing thru' the net just now, and saw the someone posted his Combaticons Army of 3 sizes... Went to look at the pics and then realised that I am indeed once again fortunate to own a better set of original size and mini size... Some differences include Blastoffs' fists are rotatable (for mine), Vortex has individually moulded upper legs, Swindle has separate lower legs, Onslaught has black heads, and Onslaught (mini) has brown body.... I'll put up his collection link ( http://www.actionfigurechecklist.com/Images/Album/index.php?v=list&i=0&p=Transformers_KnockOff_KO/Combiner/Group_Shots/Combaticons ) and my collection here for comparison...



Bruticuses army for reference... And yes, I prefer to put their leg this way... did the same for my Superions and Landcrosses....

KO Transformers Repaint - Henkei Megatron

Just finish repainted the KO Henkei Megatron an hour ago. Looks better and closer to the Henkei version... I think this KO is based on the Classics version, as this is out before Henkei Megatron is announced... This is one case where the KO makers has a much better sense of colour as the KO is so much much much nicer than the Classics version!! ... and the colour is uncanny similar to the Henkei version.... except for the red shell... Initially did not want to repaint such a big area... but relented in the end... so I just now finally repaint the shell & trigger...

Let the pictures do the talking... First is the gun mode...

Robot mode...

Just check thru' my list of To-Dos... so many to repair and mod... Hope got time in December...

Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of non-KOs (12)

Went to the Toy Carnival @SAM today, and jalan around (more story in my other blog)... a bit sad that this is like the CSC style... but with the Star Wars and Mask Rider cos-players, things look better... Then went over to CSC... My hauls below... Got a free comic (DemonSlayer) in the Toy Carnival...


WST Hot Rod
Found the WST Hot Rod (Plain red version) in the Toy Carnival!!!!!!!!!!! For $10 only!!!! Sweet... although no paint, and loose joints, I am very very happy... Actually there are a lot of cheap TFs like Treadbolt (Loose - $15), Frenzy (Loose - $5), etc etc, but did not get cos they are loose pieces, prefer to get only MISB... Nemesis Prime (boxed - $30), Commemorative G1 Soundwave ($50) are quite cheap, but I have since waken up from my dream after the shock buy of my ROTF Scouts... Nice little WST... have been wanting to look for this piece for a long time...

EZ ROTF Optimus Prime

TO avoid confusion, I shall label him as Fallen EZ Prime. Got this little fella in CSC. For $8, he is cheaper than the Hasbro's version ($11.90 - retail, $12 in CSC). Helpful staff told me thay have already marked out which TF is inside at the side of the box (realised they cut open the bottom to check). Arms tend to pop out easily... and the hole on the back is too big to fit in the Jetfire's peg... Need to do something...

Springer

Got this too in the same shop in CSC... Thought of getting this 2 Legends figures only tomorrow after catching the movie... but since saw them there, grab them first... Fist are loose in vehicle mode (propellers tend to tilt down)...

Overall a good catch today.... Tomorrow watching the movie.... Hope don't come out nausea and feel like vomiting, like for the 1st movie.... hahahaha....

Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of non-KOs (11)

Yesterday went to OG Albert again to buy some working pants... and then went up the 3rd floor... and suddenly, become crazy... It started with seeing a heap of boxes of Hulk Attack Vehicle at sale of $19.90, and quickly grab one - keep the figurine for myself, and the big car for my baby nephew! Then, walk over and bought 4 Scouts and 1 Legends ROTFs... What!!!!!!!! I can't believe what I bought when paying at the cashier counter... That was when I woke up, but too late liao... got to pay the $100 plus.... sigh... impulsive buy... the power of retail therapy and GSS....

HULK ATTACK VEHICLE
At only $19.90, which Hulk fan (like me) can resist??!!! Gave the car to my baby nephew and boy, he is happy...


... and my impulse buys....


Ransack
Very delicate and fairly loose ball joints... in fact, most of the ROTFs I bought are like that... worse is Dead End... but, still ok....


Depthcharge
Funny head design, like put a bowl on head and cut the hair...hahaha.... But nice vehicle mode....


Dirtboss
To avoid confusion, I shall label him as Mudboss in my collection list... Very fierce warrior-like robot mode, with 2 blades....


Dead End
Actually I find him look like the Cybertron Ransack.... The red and black colour, the head half into the shoulders, the long feet... Very bad bad bad ball joint for 1 arm, like it was dislocated.. put some super-glue on the ball to tighten, and he recovered from his dislocation....


(Legends) Jetfire
To avoid confusion, I shall label him as Jetflare in my collection list. This old man, he still look kindda cool in plane mode... but the bot mode is... sigh...



Looking forward to the Toy Carnival this Sunday....
