EX Gokin Alpha Trion

Oh Alpha Trion, your influence in the G1 cartoon was … significant.  Plus, I loved your beard and when I get grey all over, I want a beard like that!

Why I love Majora's Mask

When I got my 3DS, it was purely for Ocarina Of Time.  I have good memories of having a friend's N64 and OoT.  I played that game so much over the weekend that my eyes couldn't focus on things further than 10m away for a couple of days.

I'll admit, I was a little worried but they got back into shape soon enough.

Later I had the chance to played Majora's Mask and even though it was obvious that the game used recycled models quite heavily, I came to enjoy it even more than OoT.  Which, by looking at opinions on the internet seem to be in the minority.

Now that I am playing through MM on the 3DS, I thought I would share some reasons why I prefer MM to OoT.

Generations Waspinator

Waspinator was an excellent character from Beast Wars and I loved that over all the characters, he was one of the few that didn’t get a Transmetal upgrade in the cartoon, he did however have excellent characterisation!  I ended up getting the Beast Wars toy from the 10th Anniversary lot that came out and the show inspired colours were good and the toy was pretty nice as well. 

When I first saw this guy, I thought I would pass, as the original is pretty damn good.  I naturally caved and well…. Here we are.

Roadbusting some heads

Nice to see a proper update for Roadbuster.  I got him as my people had said he was really the bees knees.  I found him to be the bees ankles personally, but there we go.  He's a nice enough figure.  Watch my review!



He's a nice  Wrecker.  My collection is getting there.  Now to wait for Overlord!

Who’s the smartest shark in town?

 

Skybyte! That’s who!!

I really like Skybyte, he was an ace character in the Robots in Disguise TV show, being the second in command of the Decepticons (well, for a while anyway) and while I thought the Collector’s Club recolour of Skybyte was a nice effort, I really wanted to see more of the guy.  Luckily for me, someone at TakaraTomy felt the same way and now I have the Transformers Legends Gelshark (as this is the Japanese version!). Yaay!

Gonna Throttle some Bots

Nothing like a bit of G1 to fill those robot blues.  Today I thought I would take a retro look at a team that I always wanted but had trouble finding until a friendly friend was changing their collecting habits, providing me with these little suckers.

Dodonpachi first time play!

Still alive!  Haven't had much time for toys and photography lately and still haven't got a decent are for taking pictures set up yet.  So here, I have a video of me playing Dodonpachi for the first time.  A little experimental video, of

1. An idea
2. a chance for me to test my video editing skills with a new editor

 I can see, that #2 still needs some work.  No surprises there.
