Mecha Mad and Figure Fixation V3.0

[Soundwave]

Yeah I had a few friends who gave up then too
I stuck with it though & actually think that some of the Headmaster & Powermaster figures became some of my absolute best figures ever...including Powermaster Prime

Here is my original PMOP...

Thanks for posting, [MENTION=7037]Soundwave[/MENTION].
Always love seeing what you've picked up.

Not exactly new but pulled it from storage to display for a while, forgot how nice they were. When stacking was released double fine decided to make a real set of stacking dolls based on some of the characters. Loved the game & the whole artstyle so when i saw these i fell in love, only 300 sets were made so they vanished pretty fast. Wish more merch had been made for the game.



Teeny tiny Charlie, hiding away in the middle hehe.

For all Xenoblade Chronicles 2 fans out there...

Pyra/Homura was announced a month or so ago at currently priced around 20k yen, Mithra/Hikari was announced at the current Wonder Festival and will probably run for the same price...if it wasn't for the price (plus shipping and customs) I'd totally get them, just to have Good Smile bring out Poppy QTpi/Hana JD.

Kotobukiya are also doing the giant robot of which I've forgot the name. https://twitter.com/MONOLITHSOFT/sta...473213440?s=09

Had this little guy preordered since last august, after one delay he finally got released. The packaging is lovely as is the figure, it was worth the wait to get Gomez in figure form. I wish there was more fez merchandise as i love the game.

Nice! That looks lovely.

EVERYONE! Stop what you're doing and listen to me!

Surely one for [MENTION=7037]Soundwave[/MENTION] and his love of dolls?

[Soundwave]

I did however have a new arrival today

That's amazing, [MENTION=7037]Soundwave[/MENTION]! He's not like the G1 toys where it's basically a white Prime with the extra bits, the whole thing transforms, right? Are you getting it out the box?!

You'll like these, mate. I went up the loft and found a 1985/1986 Hamleys catalogue.
I remember looking at these two pages looooads. I reeeeally wanted the Mospeada bike!







Action Force, DC Heroes and He-Man

Ha! I'll see what I can find.
There were plenty of Cabbage Patch Kids and Sylvanian Families stuff if you were into them.
The thing is, I went to the London store with my Mom and I can't remember if I got the catalogue from there or the Birmingham store, but last September, I took my son for a trip to London and visited Hamleys and they were still peddling the same old tat when I visited all those years ago like an indoor paper plane:

Here are some board games from the same catalogue:

If you haver any gift cards etc get them used, Toys R Us in the UK seems to have failed to avoid total collapse.

Maplin is in trouble too!
