Countdown to girls day 5 of 5: Power of the Primes Novastar review!

Image
Aloha folks and welcome to the finale of the girls day segment. Today is Novastar! Without haste, let's get started! Boxing and contents :     Not shown here is the manual. Quintus is Novastar's prime master but honestly don't care for this part. Robot mode w/Moonracer               Novastar is molded off Moonracer. Not much difference except for color and the head.

I will get to this part later on. It was actually a pain to remove Metroplex from his prison box because he is twist-tied and taped heavily into all these individual black brackets. It to...

Back to the Transformer world we go before I embark on my next adventure. Today we go a little back in time and take a look at Fansproject's version of the insecticons. First up is Thundershred who is a homage to Shrapnel of TF fame. Just a little heads up that some of the pics came out soft looking. I should try to do better again next time. Anyhow, let's get started. Boxing and contents       I bought the figure used a year or two ago. The figure comes as you see but I realized as I opened the box that ThunderShred's Shuriken weapon is missing. I guess the seller forgot to pack it or lost it. It's also my fault that I forgot to inspect the contents when I received the package. When I got the package I proceeded to store him away for a later future review.
