Transformers Legions/Legends Class - Grimlock

Image
Legions,Legends,la,la,la,la,la whatever.Transformers have more classes than the military.I'm thinking the Legions Class are the smallest of the figures considering how wimpy Gwimlock wooks In his itty ,bitty, shitty wobot mode.I thought he'd look nice next to my Generations Optimus and Bumblebee,but negative.I actually had to improvise his leg length by folding out an extra piece to make him look a little taller.The packaging,not pictured here,was also a bit deceiving.It shows an awesome G1 style Grimlock on the card,which  prompted me to do a double take.After being let down when I realized that the figure within  wasn't based on the G1 version,I decided to pass It up. Then I thought about It a little more and decided,hey what the heck,he does have the G1 color going for him,so I changed my tune and ultimately snagged him up.It was  also on sale for like three bucks so why not.The big disappointment came after taking him out of his packaging and seeing how dinky he looked

Transformers Mashers - Soundwave

Transformers Mashers have grown on me thanks to Orniphus over at Coolandunusual. Immediately after selling off a couple of figures on eBay I went out and picked up a Megatron and Soundwave Masher,and I love them both!They're fun action figures.Not all of the TF Mashers are G1 accurate, but  Optimus (he's next on my list),Megatron and Soundwave certainly are.Below we have the busy Masher box and Soundwave In his plastic tray. My one gripe,and it's a pretty big one is the complete omission of  a  Decepticon symbol.Not cool,man,not cool :( Soundwave comes with lots of cool weapons and an extra arm that belongs to Sideswipe. Overall,a great figure and rendition of  one of the most iconic characters In  Transformers  universe.
