Figure Frontier: A Prime Number

On 07/01/2015 at 12:02 AM by GamerFoxem

Last week I grabbed four Kre-O Microchangers to add to my little collection. Two of the four were duplicates of Rodimus Prime, which I already have, so I put one in vehicle mode and left the other as a desk figure along with my Pop Vinyls.

Strangely the Rodimus in my collection and the second one I opened had an issue with keeping two blocks for their vehicle mode from popping off. I glued the two together but by either strange fate or just three times a charm the third bag had blocks that didn’t have that problem. The other two were ones I didn’t have, Barrage and Sandstorm, but the bag with Sandstorm threw me off guard for a moment because it was orange like Rodimus (even though Sandstorm’s has a deeper orange).

Saturday night I had the idea of using my Gundam markers to give Rodimus III a paint job. Not sure if people would agree that it’s a decent job.

This pay week I think I’ll grab an Age of Ultron Mystery Box. My fingers are crossed for an Iron Man Model 14 figure.

Neat. I was just looking at Tick figures (you know, the animated TV show The Tick). That stuff is pretty cheap right now. I'm tempted.

Rodimus III is looking sharpie.

If sharpie is a compliment, thanks? What you don't actually see is my finger prints the feet of the legs because I was checking if it dried.

I use to watch The TIck when it aired. I could never understand why it got a live action series. Anyways, I should check out the game shop I know of in the mall for Tick merchandise. They have all sorts of stuff aside from games.

A fingerprint? Do... you got the touch?

Yes but I don't think the figures like receiving the touch.

That was a compliment.

I never knew why they went live action with The Tick either. I didn't like the changes they made to the characters either even though it was written by creater Ben Edlund. I sometimes want to watch it, and then I'm just turned off by the live action thing. I want more animated stuff. The original show was so great.

It helped more when it was in animation. They could easily get the crazy things that happen where as the live action had the action must have been watered down because of the budget restraints. How how do you get an actor to play Chairface in a live action show anyway, aside from puppeteering?

Right. What I loved about the animated show was there was so much packed in to each episode. You could find new things going on in the background every time.

Do they have an Ironhide figure? That was my favorite Transformer when I was a kid.

From what I understand you can get the micro figure from the Destruction Site Devastator and Autobot Assualt Devastator sets. There's also Custom Kreon and Kreon Class of 1984 micro figure Ironhide. The Autobot Assualt Devastator set also comes with a buildable Kre-O Ironhide. I just started on series 4 and if Rodimus is the common one then I might have to pick up a set.

never heard of these before. Rodimus rules!

I only learned about them when Ashens was doing a bunch of blind bags. Rodimus is okay though I wish I didn't keep getting him so I can complete series 4.
