Matrix Workshop M-51 Horn/Hook/Weapon Upgrade Kit SS86 JAZZ

Image
  Aloha folks. I am back with another TF upgrade: Matrix Workshop M-51 Horn/Hook/Weapon upgrade for SS86 Jazz   So the kit comes with an array of goodies. He gets an extra gun which is actually nice. I love the silver coloring on it. And then he comes with speakers and two extra missiles (can be detached). There is a black tab that comes with the kit that allows you to put it behind his head or you can easily peg it to his back. The missiles also have a 5 mm handle that enables Jazz to hand grasp the weapon. The missiles, can be angled up or down, and they often come a little loose so you may have trouble posing them depending on the angle you are carrying them.  Last but not least, you get his famous more than meets the eye grappling hook. The box part pegs into Jazz's hand. I didn't measure the string but its roughly about 3 inches I say, give or take. While its a nice commodity, I feel the string will begin to wear down as you play with it a dozen more time...

Hasbro Transformers Toys Studio Series Transformers: The Movie Megatron Leader Class 8.5-in Action Figure review

Image
"I've would had waited an eternity for this."  Aloha folks, I am back with another TF review. This time is the feared leader of the Decepticons: Studio Series Megatron. Without further delay, let's get started! Boxing   Megatron comes in the plastic casing, possibly to really prevent theft. He comes with his light saber he uses briefly to slash Optimus from the movie and he also comes with a 5mm Walther P-38 gun.  About the boxing. This is my first figure, I don't know if he is the first, but he comes without the 86 logo. He doesn't come numbered in the series as well. He doesn't also come with a backdrop from any part of the film. I ended up using Optimus Prime's backdrop to do this shoot. Despite the fact, Transformers the movie is labeled here, it's a possibility of what he transforms into is probably the reason why the 86 logo is not stamped on this figure. But the Constructicons have their 86 logo done away with as well. But I will get m...

TMNT 40th Anniversary Comic Celebration

Image
                                                             (Possible Spoilers: fair warning!) I decided to pick this up because I grew up with TMNT. I grew up with the 87 show but often read the Mirage comics in my local library from time to time. I really loved the 2k3 series when it debuted and I dabbled here and there when it came to anything TMNT afterwards. With the exception of Next Mutation, you got to see short stories of previous animated adaptions such as the 87 show, 2k3, 2012, and even Rise. Rise gets a bittersweet send off for one of the leads while you have the 87 just chillin as usual. The 2k3 brings back the Utrom Shredder in what is a continuation of Turtles Forever. How he comes back is still a mystery, but he is there and the Turtles do an iconic pose from that of the comics. The 2012, I'm not too sure but it seem...

Transformers Studio Series 86-26 Leader Class The The Movie 1986 Dinobot Swoop Action Figure review

Image
  Aloha folks, I am back again with another TF review. Once again, I've been pushing myself to take these guys out of their boarded up prisons. Today is the 5th and final member of the Dinobots: Studio Series 86-26 Leader class Swoop. Without further delay, lets get started! Boxing So Swoop comes without the plastic protection. The two backdrops that comes with him is the same as Blasters. Once again, this could had been done differently. Swoop was not present in that scene. I think the Prime backdrop would been more fitting since Autobot city was devastated by the time Prime and the Dinobots arrived. Weird or lazy choice by Hasbro again. The figure comes with two swords (one is longer than the other) and his two missiles.  Me Swoop no see nothing!   I finally utilized my holder stand to do his flying poses. What can I say? Swoop is a well done figure... almost well. If anything bugs me, its his back that seems to be full of holes. Maybe they could ...
