If you like Transformers that don’t transform then you should take a long hard look at the Revoltech Convoy. I wasn’t familiar with the Revoltech series before this figure, but I gotta say I’m definitely a fan now. They’re well sculpted and painted, very detailed, incredibly articulated, and not terribly expensive. There’s also a Megatron coming in April.
I’ve been on a Transformers kick lately which has only been compounded by the eminent release of Michael Bay’s film (although G1 Transformers will always hold a special place in my very geeky heart). My desk will become even more cluttered later this month when Takara ships the Masterpiece Megatron. Now I just need a proper place to display these away from tiny, spit-drenched fingers (I’m looking at you Linus and Heather).
how small are Heather’s fingers?
They’re very similar in size and shape to a Vienna Sausage.
..let’s not forget color. seriously, i thought the wiki pic was her getting a manicure.
Something tells me I’m about to get in trouble with my lovely wife again.
Yo, you guys should definetely come out next friday (23rd) to the studios. we’re having an open studios night, an art auction, food (probably no vienna sausies, though) and music. Mark and I have been working on a set lately for it. Bring Linus. massive little kids and babies at the last show.
Been listening to a lot of Icarus lately. D’you get into those guys?!
Oh, any luck with that song I sent you? I’ve just finished 2 songs, I think.
Uhh, I’m sorry I didn’t catch that. Did you say something about Optimus Prime?
no, but he did mention “massive little kids” - which certainly seems worthy of further discussion.
AUTOBOTS, LET’S ROLL OUT!
“massive little kids” is code for “Optimus Prime”.
“mus” - massive
“prime” - latin and yeddish for primary or in this case
“op” - acronym for ocean pacific, place where these autobots were first encountered while on vacation from the Revoltech army.
“ti” - T.I. rubberband man
Thanks for the breakdown Rubens. I can’t wait to scratch my face and chest all up!
why is hlj calling him “Convoy”?
Optimus Prime is called Convoy in Japan. Megatron never got a name change for some reason. I guess that was already Japanese enough when Hasbro exported the series. The Decepticons were however renamed Destrons.
I just got two pimples from typing that.
