Terence Ho since 1981(The Last Ronin)

 Another dreadful year of higher up control. But let's recap this year of my favorite Kingdom, 86 Studio series, and whatever figures I opened up this year. This year was a little different due to the fact Kingdom consisted mainly of Beast wars figures (I'm not into BW), so to make a top 5 out of that category was going to be fairly slim and difficult. Same for the 86 line since I didn't get everyone. I do have a Sharkticon 86 review but he will have to settle for a 2022 post and possibly a re-edit "best of" post if the character warrants such a change.  Transformers Kingdom Inferno The mold was made for him. Colors are vibrant. He looks good and plays well overall. An improvement over Grapple.  86 Studio Series Grimlock Sweep Grimlock is a 86 masterpiece done well plus Sweep whose lighter colors doesn't detract any value from the original Scourge figure. In fact, the wings are tightened and not loose as in comparison to Scourge. Despite being a repaint of Sco...

 Earthrise Sunstreaker vs Henkei Sunstreaker (Team Sunstreaker) Earthrise Smokescreen vs Universe Smokescreen (Team Smokescreen) I think the ER versions are my definitive versions of both characters though the classic versions still have some redeeming qualities such as the nice mustard yellow of the Henkei Streaker and I dig the alt version of Smokescreen (also has the correct number). I'll let the pictures do the talking. Take care folks and Jesus loves you. 

  Vax or unvaxxed, we stand united against Tyranny! Aloha folks, today we look at another Amazon exclusive: WFC-K42 Sideswipe and Maximal Skywarp. Without delay, let's get started! Boxing The box is fairly small. They are only deluxe figures after all.

 After a brief hiatus, I am back with some TF photography. This time we look at the upgrades for Earthrise Sunstreaker, Smokescreen and 86 Grimlock. Without anymore delay, let's get started! Sunstreaker w/ Metallic Silver Finally, Streaker is armed. The barebones release Hasbro allowed led people to scouring the web for additional weapons. Thankfully, some companies such as Nonnef came through for the fans. In this review pack, Sunstreaker undoubtedly got the best of the upgrades. For the metallic reveal, he was given a rifle, a handcannon, and spoilers. The pics explain everything. Streaker is ready for battle. The only quibbles I have here is that the metallic paint can strip fairly easy. Look at the last pic here in this category. Some of the paint has dribbled into his shoulder stack hole.  Also for this set, his riser, which can house his spoiler was sold on the non-metallic sets. So I had to spend a little more dough for extras.

  Fighting Draconian measures one at a time. I'm on a row. Just getting off my butt to do these shoots and review. Without delay, let's get started. I don't seem to see a location name for his map piece like Trailbreaker. Anyhow, that is your box and contents. Standing tall I noticed I put the engine on his back wrong.  Ankle tilting This was one of the figures that I contemplated of getting due to me already being impressed with Henkei Sunstreaker. Not to mention, I really loved the mustard yellow the Henkei version sported. However, Hastak decided to scale figures so that really threw everything out the window had you invested in any figure prior to the Siege line.  First off, ER Streaker looks decent. I too share the complaints of some others on why he has different shades of yellow- namely his chest piece (canopy) and both his forearms. Both these areas are colored with a very light yellow while a darker shade of yellow and some blacks fill out the rest of the figure....
