Ameture photography of action figures!

Good morning, good knight!

Ready to start her day!

Loved Jazz as a kid. The Transformers 2010 figure is one of the best for the design and poseability. Love this thing!

Good morning! Here's some pics of the Autobot Brawn with some of his buddies! Brawn, who is a replacement head, a hover bike, a weapon, and an ATV! There's Pteraxadon, who is a pteranodon that can also be an axe. Then there's Topshot and Flak, who become artillery vehicles and a giant hand-held cannon!

Hi! Been a bit, eh?

Purple Wasp

I feel like I'm taking about as much pictures of her as of Soundwave. Though Argidae is a newer figure. If Snail Shell studio makes more of them, I'll probably buy them!

Nobody calls Soundwave uncruzamatic!

You wanted more Soundwave? Of course you did! The Fall of Cybertron voyager class Soundwave is still a great version of him, with the fun added feature of a simple push ejection system for his cassette (or in this case data disc) minions!

More Soundwave

Based these pictures off of episodes from the G1 cartoon. First is from City of Steel when he fought Optimus Prime in Central Park. The second is when he got eject-blocked by Ironhide in Transport to Oblivion. The third is him spying on the Dinobots from War of The Dinobots. And the last is his debut as a lamp post on Cybertron to avoid being spotted by Jazz from More Than Meets The Eye Part 1.

Superior

I haven't posted any good Soundwave pics in a while, so here's a few!

New Wasp Girl!

This wasp arrived in the mail yesterday! The second figure I got from Snail Shell studio! Argidae Girl Bee-04R. Or just Argidae I guess. Where the first Wasp Girl was wasp coloured, this one is in purple, and I love it~ she came with cute little keychain too!

Megatron and Optimus Prime dressed to kil

Year of The Rabbit

This is the EX-01 Plus Mocha, made by Big Firebird toy! She's in her bunny girl mode for Year of The Rabbit pics.

Eastern Model A.T.K. Girl Serqet

I like purple. Serqet is a bit of a chore to pose, but she looks so good when I get it right!

Eastern Model ATK Girl Serqet

Arachne and Serqet have the exact same base body, what separates them is the head and armor. This doesn't bother me because with all the additional components you couldn't tell that they were the same base figure. After I got Arachne I knew I wanted Serqet because I love scorpions! And the fact that the armor can form a separate robot scorpion is what really sold me on this figure!

ATK Girl Serqet

After four days and some eyestrain headaches, I've finished building the Eastern Model ATK Girl Serqet! Was a fun build with frustrating tiny pieces. She's a lot more solid than her predecessor Arachne, and the backpack comes off to be it's own creature! Overall a good build. I'll take pretty pictures of her some other time because right now I'm sick of looking at her!

LEGO City Advent Calendar

And here we are on the last day of my LEGO City Advent Calendar! It's been a year, hopefully yours has been good, and hopefully your holidays are good as well!

 I assume the LEGO Santa sled would be pulled by the horse, but let's have the horse follow the haybale on the sled being pulled by Santa! I don't know if this was the intent, but it is now!

Merry Christmas!

Holiday Snack

What is everyone's favorite holiday snack? For me it's Pot Of Gold chocolates. I LOVE Ferrero Rocher, but these ones here fell like a Christmas thing to me~ Sexy robot is for scale.
