While I’ve dabbled in the world of video reviews a little bit, I’m going to try and make a concerted effort to do more going forward. I know for Transformers especially, the video format can work better to show transformation, etc…
To that end, I’ve posted a three part video review featuring the latest Transformers: Masterpiece figure from Takara: MP-28 Hot Rodimus.
The three part review is broken into a look at the box and car, the transformation, and the robot mode. Check out my YouTube page, and see the videos embedded below.

The reveals continue on a Friday night, with the G.I. Joe Collectors Club giving us our first look at the upcoming Sky Patrol Airwave and A.D.D.E.R.S. trooper, Cobra Air Devil.
Air Devil looks pretty spectacular, and I absolutely LOVE that red and black color scheme. Airwave looks to be mostly made from Pursuit of Cobra Ripcord/Skydive, which is cool with me, that figure is pretty great. Check out GIJoeCon.com for the latest, and the images are mirrored below. At this point, we should have three reveals left – Drop Zone, Static Line, and Cobra Black Vulture! Bring ’em on.
I’m still working on getting the reviews done for the new Vitruvian HACKS Blanks figures, but until I do, I’ve seen a few people curious about how their scale matches up with similar lines.
I’ve posted a couple of images below showing just that. A comparison with Marvel figures and G.I. Joe figures specifically. Keep watching, the Blanks review will hopefully be up next week.
The hits just keep on coming today! Registration has just been announced and now we have two brand spanking new figure reveals. Sky Patrol Sgt. “Airborne” Six comes at us alongside the long requested Cobra Flying Scorpion!
Flying Scorpion was initially a Brazilian release (Escorpaio Voador) using Cesspool’s head and other mixed parts, released alongside Black Vulture (Abutre Negro) who is also slated to come with this Con set.
The two reveals today look pretty spectacular. Loving the new head sculpt and urban camouflage on Airborne (and is that a Retaliation Firefly torso… great use!), and I love that Flying Scorpion comes with the Pursuit of Cobra jetpack. GREAT looking figures!
