December Update

noreply@blogger.com (Plasmodic) — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 15:12:00 +0000

hello, MIA for quite sometime sorry. laziness on my wips for sometime now. kinda lost interest but hopefully i can finish it.

Well, while I'm being lazy on my projects, I have been not on toy collecting. Been in the masterpiece series lately.

And lastly, I just finish snap fitting my MG crossbone ver Ka. So, without further a do. Here are some photo's:

Just acquired MP-14 w/ the coin. Xbone at the back.

Snap fitted. bad waist design. front skirt panels limited articulation. hinders the leg articulation to raise up.

Masterpiece Optimus Prime Hasbro Toys R Us Exclusive

noreply@blogger.com (Plasmodic) — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:27:00 +0000

Hello all,

Got something today from toys R us. An exclusive collectors item I suppose; Its' the MP-10 Optimus Prime by Hasbro exclusive only at Toys R Us. Luckily I was able to catch one (happy guy yey lols). Also, Thundercracker is released too but sadly I hesitated to get one but will try my luck tomorrow.

So, I'll do a short review on this one. Which will not make my today's post quite short (lols). Well, then off the bat It's pretty clear that you can see the whole toy as it is in all clear packaging except the bottom and the backing ^___^.

Sorry that's all it can fit thru my cam lens (X_X). But I think it'll suffice.

So, It comes with a small spike figure, the roller(small vehicle), blaster, Axe and the matrix. Unfortunately unlike the japanese counterpart takara. The Takara Tomy comes with a manual and a card spec of OP and it has some nice box packing too, but Hasbro's not bad too. Wish they'd include a manual. Here are some photo's. Apologies didn't take out the rest of the items from its packing. So there won't be photo's of it (-_-).

Here's the matrix of leadership and all I can say is wow the thing is made out of metal. Well, it felt realy solid compared to a plastic solid and it is cold(the feeling of holding a metal).

close up half body. As you can see I like the way the pick the eye color, close enough to the animation.

This fella is about 10 inches high. It got some nice articulation. Ball jointed head, so it rotates 360 deg. and moves side to side and up/down. The arms have a rotation of 360 deg too and it connects to the body with a part that swivels, so it can go forward and back w/c is also the section that will transform it to his cab.

Waist articulation it can go 360 deg. The legs can swivel in and out sideways w/c it is attached on a ratchet that will move in forward and back. The knees are on ratchet too. Then on the lower leg it can rotate 360 deg. Lastly, the feet are on a swivel that can turn sideways the some front foot articulation to bend due to also has something to do with transforming on vehicle mode.

Can also house the matrix inside his chest.

vehicle mode. look how awesome it is (^,^)

forgot to pan out the side mirror's. Its roof lights are painted as to its japanese counterpart ain't and some small details too are painted as to Hasbro is not.

Overall, MP-10 is a very good collectible you can't go wrong with it; even if there are some paint flaws and scraping. A very improved G1 look of OP compared to the late 80's. I gave it a 10/10 despite of some paint flaws.

Work in progress

it's been long while :3 hehe sorry. Well, a short update on my current project, taking me too long to finish coz of laziness. Here it is, primed and base coated some parts. Will follow up with another one in a few days for another progress. Have done some shading on a few too :)

TF Prime's rumble

noreply@blogger.com (Plasmodic) — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:22:00 +0000

heyhey! gome! can't seem to find a boost to finish my custom kit gahhh.. laziness.. anyway got to buy another tf prime toy yesterday.. Let's get ready to RUMBLEEE... and also was able to get wheeljack glady a limited restock that I got luckily.. Sgt. kup was also released here at Toy kingdom SM Mega - PH.

I got skeptic about it coz. One, kup might not get featured in the on going animation. Second, it is the same mold w/ Ironhide. So, I'm really doubting it would be featured in the animation. Like w/ those of Hot shot, dead end and skywarp w/c are molds form Bee, Wheeljack and Scream.. Although, rumble might not get in the show either but I like how it is made.

Well, A brief review on Rumble. dunno what kind vehicle it is, The Card is shorter than that of the previous ones and It doesn't have any tech specs w/c is weird but I don't give bout it anyway lol. Rumble comes w/ to pistolized gatling gun(hollow on the underside). Transformation wise, It is easy. Hence, level 2 lol. On robot mode, only thing that i dislike bout it are the ball joints the connect the arm on the body. Coz' it's too tight on both, kinda gonna snap if I play around it much. Anything else looks great. So here are some photo's :)

Work in progress on my not so secret project LOL

noreply@blogger.com (Plasmodic) — Sat, 18 Aug 2012 15:32:00 +0000

Well, here are a couple of shots of what I'm doin' a teaser of some sort LOL.

As you can see the mod that I added.. and other primed parts hehe

Blog Update

noreply@blogger.com (Plasmodic) — Sat, 18 Aug 2012 15:29:00 +0000

Hey, quite a long while. Been busy yet lazy these past weeks for an update. But there's nothing really much to share lately except my spending spree on transformers figures bah... i'ma almost broke.. O'well, that's what I get for starting a collection (X.X)

So, lately i've been buying toys week after week lol. Recent one a while ago, bought the prime ratchet. Before it are a couple TF generations/universe toyline but on second hand which are starscream, smokescreen and sunstreaker. And it's a long way to go to complete those bahh.. Some photo's except for scream:

yep, red alert is a redeco of sunstreaker hehe. so as smokescreen but w/ prowl and silverstreak w/c I don't have yet XD toy hunt and bargaining is a pain.. phase out already in the market coz it's been years LOL.

ooo.. light on eyes hehe

Well, the ratchet figure ain't bad. It has a lot of articulation compared to some of the prime toy figures. One of the figure that is close to the animation.

So, couple of weeks there's still toys would be coming in. By the way I'm also doing a kit, it's on the modding stage right now. Hopefully, I can give it a new look by months end.. I'll post it separately.

This is for now. cheerio! :)

LBX Deq00 Custom paint (Titus)

noreply@blogger.com (Plasmodic) — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 14:08:00 +0000

Finally. done with this kit. So here it is.

TF Prime Breakdown

noreply@blogger.com (Plasmodic) — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 17:25:00 +0000

hello folks! Here I am again with another transformers prime toy figure Breakdown by Takara. Lets see will give a short input bout this fig. Now, breakdown's a decepticon partner in crime of knock out and the sorta rival of Bulkhead. Then, Breakdown's career ended by airachnid in the early episodes of 2nd season of the animation.

To start off, Breakdown is one of my favorite fig from the line. Mainly, for its good design from vehicle mode to bot mode. Can't say it's nicely engineered coz it ain't easy creating the fig but it is good enough.

Aesthetically, breakdown lacks details. Guess takara is in a rush so they just replaced it with stickers Lol. As you can see I haven't applied the stickers coz I don't like it. Prolly I would paint on the details in the future.

The only painted parts are the front bumper, grill, part where the plastic is made of clear ones. Thus, they have to paint the area that is needed to cover it up that is the part of the door w/ the side mirrors and some areas when on bot mode like the head and a certain block of the torso.

On transformation, it's not really complex. a couple of twist and turns especially on the front part where the arms are. Kinda stiff on the arm joints, seems like its gonna break while rotating the forearm. Scares me a little as well as the leg area, where the side fender/panel has a small tab that could break easily(somewhere on the upper part of the back area).

But overall breakdown is still awesome fig to have, highly recommend it. It comes with an arms micron, a weapon the can turn into a mini rhino but it is a kit the you have to build first before it would look like a weapon. (I love japanese creativity, turning the weapon into something else so it could be fun lol. cool!).

Ps. LBX is almost complete. prolly will post it later or tom.

WIP on LBX Deq00

noreply@blogger.com (Plasmodic) — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 08:48:00 +0000

FoC Optimus Prime Toyline

noreply@blogger.com (Plasmodic) — Sun, 08 Jul 2012 13:27:00 +0000

Hello! Well, another toy segment. XD Just wanna share my short input bout this toy fig. The Fall of cybertron toyline has been a let down for toy collectors, on how hasbro made it smaller and less in transformation design and material wise or similar thoughts to that hahaha. I still find it good and design wise I like it better on alt mode than that of WFC prime but i like that too. It's just that i looks more robust and tougher prime hehe. Wish that this one has the same scale with the previous line WFC. So here are some photos to share :)

Vehicle mode, isn't it meaner? lols

Bot mode, puny head LOLs

Dramatic pose Lols

It doesn't look like primes on one knee Lol

Got some bad quality control. sigh..

another view of the bad quality control.

and another one...

side by side with jazz.

bot mode w/ jazz

from another angle XD

New hauls this week

noreply@blogger.com (Plasmodic) — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 13:23:00 +0000

Hello there! First, I apologize that i haven't started shading my LBX project yet. Hopefully next week i would jump start myself into doing it >.<. Recently, I've been hooked with transformers toys and I can say right now I'm Knee deep in it hahaha >,< ugh... I'm bleeding trying to collect some wahhh >.<

So, here's some photo's of my recent TF haul. I'll put some brief info. on each figure.

TF prime vehicon and cliffjumper. TF gen. cyb. jazz. All hasbro

a closer look of its vehicle mode.

battle pose w/ cliff

robot mode. So, over all this fig is very nice indeed. much closer to its' animation form than that of its first edition w/c i have but haven't open yet. Articulation is good ball joints, not much of limited movement. details are very good.

Generations Cybertron Jazz, vehicle mode

limited posability on the legs and feet.

front view

My gripe on this fig is that. Its' plastic is some what brittle, over time tabs may snap. then the limited articulation on the feet. Head is on ball joint but still it is some what stiff and limited plus around its collar area you can see the hollow part. And also, paint jobs in some areas are not good like the tip of the foot is chipped. blotch paints in some areas. in short detail painting is not quite good in some areas.

Progress from the pass weeks + goodies *HAHA

noreply@blogger.com (Plasmodic) — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 20:46:00 +0000

Toycon 2012 PH. day 2

noreply@blogger.com (Plasmodic) — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 12:28:00 +0000

hello, no progress report this week. But I'm gonna share to you photos from toy convention held here in the phil. crowded as usual. Most of it are from the exhibit hall. didn't took any photo's of the sellers stall coz' It is really crowded can't get/find a good spot.

finally got a MG AGE-1, attracted to it for resembling the rx-78-2. probably would be assembling it today, I feel the itch to put it together hahaha. XD

RX-78-2 OYW ver. progress report 4

noreply@blogger.com (Plasmodic) — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 15:56:00 +0000

hello there. :) well, here's a small update on grand daddy. panel wash almost done, only the right leg and waist armors left.

LBX DEQ00

noreply@blogger.com (Plasmodic) — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 13:19:00 +0000

Bought something today, a kit from the anime Danball Senki. a LBX model DEQ00, basically more like a grunt suit type. Can't simply ignore my fascination bout this anime, so i bought myself a kit. Cute thing. Also, would like to add, i think this kit is mainly for kids to get them for whatever reason maybe for the hobby. Hence, the anime itself is for kids. XD

Well, this could be a side project that i would be tinkering for a while aside from my pending MG RX and Gyan. Just to get my brain pumping ideas and keep my interest going. XD hehehe. Here's some photo's I took.

Here is the box w/ the sprue's out getting ready to snap build it :D yey!

So, as i was snapping it off from the sprue. I notice what bandia did. it made an extra indicators. a lil punched ensignia/logo, so the young ones would identify it quickly. Good job on that.

then behold!! tenen!

Also, to add bandai made the gates so close that you wouldn't need to use a cutter for it. W/c would be a con for modelers a like. other cons would be the joints are a bit loose when moving the extremities, especially the joints on the feet. It comes off easily.

RX-78-2 OYW progress report 3

noreply@blogger.com (Plasmodic) — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 14:16:00 +0000

kneee joints are stiff.. those hydraulic detail. too tight that when you pull it out. it gets of the place thus, breaking due to multiple stress folds. cemented it and let the knee guard hold it in place.. ermm color detailing is a bit crappy.. heheh.
