Toy Woes

uftaki: (ow sick whimper)
Something for my friends-list to be wary of... Picked up a couple of the movie TF toys yesterday: Jazz, Bumblebee, Barricade and Blackout. Jazz, Barricade and Blackout are all awesome.

Bumblebee, on the other hand... has an unfortunate design flaw. D:

There's this little 'button' on his hood, which is supposed to flip it down. Said button didn't want to work on my toy. Robot mode is awesome. No problems there. But trying to get it BACK to car mode...? Hood doesn't want to snap back into place, no matter how much I jostle it! D:

So I had to return it. If anyone else is having this problem, I suggest you return your toys, too. I'm not the only one who's had this problem. Hopefully, this is just some random glitch, but I don't think so. This is some sort of design flaw. But if enough people who find this defect turn the toy back in, hopefully Hasbro will figure out what's gone wrong, and correct it.

Too bad... because the robot mode is awesome. The hood just will NOT click back into place. T__T

It's still a couple months away, but it looks like some sweet stuff is coming in. Not like everything ELSE so far hasn't been fantastic. XD

The Megatron: Origin sounds interesting. I'm not a big time Con fan by far... but I still love a good backstory. :3

What had me going "OOOOOOOHHHHH......!" with sparly eyes, though, was the Transformers: The Ark—A Complete Compendium of Transformers Animation Models. whoa... The animation model sheets! *__* Apparantly, over 500 of 'em! Black-and-white, and 208 pages, so obviously, more than one model sheet per page... Who's to say what this will actually look like, but from an artistic standpoint.... whoot! No more scouring though hundreds of screencaps to finally get a ref. of a character's back! (we hope. ^_^;)

And if this happens to be COMPLETELY old news.... feel free to ignore me... c__c;

Snagged these blank images from the Hasbro website, printed them out, and had some fun doing a little design work today. ^_^;; The scanner lost a lot of the subtle shading, especially with the light greys... :( Ah well.

This first one, I don't know what name to call her/him... but I like the design. ^^; Something'll come, eventually.



The rest lay below the LJ Cut. :3 One is my 'avatar', Uftaki... and the rest are Aerialbot-MLP designs. X3 *lol*

ponies await below! )

The CHALLENGE of all these customs... if I want to take them beyond the "concept" stage... will be to find the DONOR bodies. @__x; The unnamed and Uftaki ponies won't really be that hard, but... Five. White. Pegasus ponies? @__x; Even if I use classic 80s ponies, that's one heckuva challege. @_x;; The recent/modern ponies might be cute to use, and a lot of people DO use them for customs, now... and I know there's at least one white pegasus, but... still. It'll be a hunt!

Picked up the box sets of vol. 1 of both Darkwing Duck AND Tale Spin, today! (thanks, [livejournal.com profile] straya for telling me you heard Tale Spin was coming out as well, otherwise I wouldn't have known to look for it!) And YAY! BOTH have the pilot episodes included! *cheers* I don't know why Ducktales and Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers didn't have their pilots included; here's hoping they'll be released later.

I tell you... it's great being a girl geek; you can be interested in both "girly" stuff AND "guys" stuff and people don't look at you oddly. XD (at least, most don't! ^^;) *lol* Anyway...

Some collected DVD releases for those interested... :3
Darkwing Duck vol.1 coming to DVD on August 29th! Whoot! :D

And related to that, The Gummi Bears are also getting a release to DVD on Nov. 14th! :D

And unrelated to that, this comic just makes me giggle something mad. XD *lol* (main site: here)
