Update - Bootleg G1 Technobots

Finally got time to put stickers and 'play' with the transformation... Most of the joints are tight, and a couple overly-tight, like the landing gear of Scattershot... Of course, as a bootleg, there are bound to have loose joints, for example, Nosecone's arms-turned-caterpillar-tracks will become loose but still not affect the stability of the vehicle mode...



Computron!!!!! Yeah!!!! Finally!!!! And he is a bootleg!!! Hahaha... Nice....

Update - Kabaya J-Decker and KO Kabaya G1 Starscream

Damn difficult to assemble...especially my new-found long-sightedness... And Starscream is more part-former than the normal version...


Kabaya J-Decker
Both Deckerd and J-Loader are fully-transformable... that is, if you don't follow instructions to re-peg J-Decker's arms into the other set of holes... Nice... But stickers are... sigh... Have to paint the face in the end...and luck ran out when my lousy lime green paint-pen dried up... Anyway, still looks ok from far... but must be very far... hahahaha....






KO Kabaya G1 Starscream
Just don't feel like putting the ugly stickers... No front landing gear, so have to use a fist to hold him up... Plastic quality is good though, and joints are relatively tight... for the upper body at least...

Update - Cabinet Displays...

Finally done up the majority of my Transformers (KOs, bootlegs, authentic) displays in the Ikea display cabinets... Took a long long long time... hahaha...


The individual cabinet 'apartment'... 1st cabinet... Mixture of TFs, Yuusha, and etc...




Opps, not all are TFs, here's my impulse buy of the DX Moya Moya Z-Cune...


2nd cabinet... Top 2 'apartments' are reserved for Optimus Primes...





3rd cabinet...





Last cabinet... Mostly Decepticon gestalts in the top 'apartment' but 3 of the gestalts had to share the next 2 'apartments' with Megatrons/Galvatrons, due to space constraints, hahahaha....



This apartment is mainly for Autobot getalts... with exception of 2 KO Kabaya Headmasters TFs...


This is reserved for my KR Faiz DX Faiz Gear and Case set, hahaha...



Just left some minor add-on (eg. Bootleg G1 Beachcomber), repaints (eg. KO G1 Mindwipe), replace (eg. Bootleg G1 Menasor)...

Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of Such (157) - Pokemon Pokedex

Cost approximately $40.15... Not sure how it works though.... Hahahaha.... For my little nephew...

Update - (KO) G1 Rainmakers United...

After some painting of my recently acquired KO seeker, I finally can do this pose!!!!! Hahaha... I know many people loved the KO Classics Seekers that are in this set of colours, but I personally thought that since this is G1, it fits in the "feel" more...


KO Blue Rainmaker... The colour is a little off in the picture as compared to the real one seen by the physical eye...



Even painted the eyes.... Looks good from a distance but if look at picture close up, it is bad... anyway, it will be on display, so still ok...


In jet mode... I felt that G1 TFs seem to be better in vehicle modes than in robot modes, probably because the designers stick to the theme "Robots In Disguise", and hence probably use the vehicle as basis to break into a robot form...


Oh, and yes, the canopy can open too (with a little bit of trimming)!!! Hahaha...

Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of KOs (156) - (Slightly Undersized) KO G1 Thundercracker

Saw this blue colour KO G1 Thundercracker and decided to get it (I think...) Cost $2.90 only... Still deciding to make this into the blue rain-maker seeker or a G1 toy-accurate Thundercracker...
