Aspiring Voice-Over artist, occasional artist, action figure enthusiast. Still trying to find my path.
Oddly enough, it’s #nationalgijoeday so here’s my small collection! Some of these are favorites from childhood!
Coincidence! I drew something similar from an adult mag (I forget which one) where the models were in a similar pose. Amazing work from Coop, as always!
Odd find at Ross: the replica Matrix from #Tranformers One, originally $30 at Walmart, now $16.
Check Your Battery Compartment For Corrosion! Supreme Cheetor Edition! One of the most notorious figures ever made was free of battery leakage & damage! All the lights & sounds work as well as they did 25 years ago! This figure does have one of the most inaccessible battery covers. #transformers
Got these Dickie Toys (stop laughing) RID light-up diecast cars years ago as a gift and don’t have a dedicated shelf for this show or line, tempted to hang them along the wall…somewhere. #Transformers
These may be my figures of the decade! From seeing those old prototype images, which was probably just wood, glue, & paint, to getting these in-hand is more than I could have asked for. Amazing paint & I haven’t put the stickers on yet. Hoping for a Paradron Medic or maybe a Nightbird down the line!
Transformers Missing Link Arcee and Prototype Arcee (2025) These are so amazing! I truly wish we had gotten these in ‘86 so I could compare to this new articulation from what could have been. And the diecast! Just amazing work, making this lady come to life in a classic way with modern engineering.
Had to lower the shelf and rearrange a bit but the Shelf of Misfit Optimus Primes has added his Lego Variant!
If Star Wars has a moral compass, it’s Ahsoka. She’s my favorite!
It has begun!!! Haven’t built a #lego set in years. Looking forward to adding this Optimus to my shelf!
Floating this out there: does anyone else know what this would be used for? It’s in my #garage and they’re angled up a bit. Hanging hoses or cables? Any ideas? I may just take them down.
Best and weirdest prize from a claw machine: this hat! #Transformers
Megabolt, Robots In Disguise 2001 (Deluxe 2003, KB Toys Ex) I never had the Beast Machines version, it was difficult to find. Found at a local shop & 1 arm was broken, easily glued back together. All the mechanisms work, 1 spider leg is warped. All in all, it’s a nice addition in the BM display!
Flashback to 2011. I found Unicron at a garage sale but the rest were retail and TJ Maxx! #transformers
You know, looking back at this piece, the angle reminds me of the Justice League International cover, referenced by MTMTE. I’m sure someone has or can do a better job with Team Charr in that pose. A few characters might be too big for that, come to think of it…
To promote this wrap up round table episode of 2 Mikes 2 Furious, I’ll splash in some of my older fan art! Oilslick!
Antagony: Legacy: Evolution(2023). So glad I grabbed this. I hadn’t handled the new Inferno mold, does a solid job making the ant mode functional, no limb loss. Great detailing & that black just devours any light you shine on it! Had to bring out her ancestors for the pic! #Transformers #Beastwars
Teaser for upcoming post: man, we had some amazing paint apps in #BeastWars Transmetals! If the paint didn’t flake off after a while, that is. I should dust and seal these paint apps on the figures that still retain their luster.
Got a Matrix of Leadership for Father’s Day! Happy Father’s Day, all y’all!
