Transformers Mashers - Megatron

Like I stated In my last post,I'm not a big fan of the whole masher movement,but I think the gimmick makes most sense with the Transformers.While not all the figures in the Transformers Mashers line are aesthetically pleasing ,some are.Particularly the ones In the deluxe sets.Those come with alot of  extra chowder to attach to your figure to give them an overall better appearance.Hence the reason why I snagged up Megatron.


I love the bright packaging.It has a comic book feel to It with speech bubbles and dialouge boxes throughout the front and back.
                                   




Nothing brings me back like popping an action figure out of his plastic tray. 


Megatron Masher looks good on his own,sans weapons or attachments.Hasbro does a great job of capturing his G1 appearance.


Now,the fun begins!Megatron Masher comes with his trademark arm cannon that really shoots.He also comes with  pair of leg thrusts,back pack with shoulder cannon,replaceable left hand and some spare parts that belong to Decepticon Skywarp.It would be cool If this was like a build-a-figure gimmick where collecting all the deluxe sets would build you a Skywarp figure.The nice thing about these accessories  Is that you can place them pretty much anywhere you want on the figure.I was even able to place his back pack Into his foot peg holes to transform Megs into his alt. gun mode! 




I plan on having Soundwave man the cannon!

Megatron Masher Is a bit pricey online and in most department stores,but If your lucky,Big Lots has them for about 10 bucks each.

    Very cool, I really do like them. These larger sets really offer a good deal more in terms of accessories, it would have been cool alright if one could build a Skywarp from the various deluxe packs, a bit more incentive to catch em all.

      Yeah and since i'm not going to be doing much mixing and matching with them ,the spare Skywarp parts will go unused for the most part.

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
