DamToys Hard Candyman
I got this for for 12 or 15 bucks on sell. Normally it goes for around $30. Major major buy for $15 but $30 might be a little much.
So this is DamToys Hard Candyman. They make a bunch of these guys in different colors and designs. There is crash test dummy one, one with a demon mask, a ice blue one, all black one, a all red one and probably some I am forgetting. These can be compared to 1000toys synthetic human. They basically have the exact same articulation range except this is three times cheaper. 1000toys has better plastic though. I think it is silly to buy 1000toys over priced stuff when this exist and oddly still overprice when not on sell.
For articulation this can do anything a normal human can. You could use this as drawing aid if you want. Things of note is it has a toe joint and a joint in the lower neck and upper neck.
Hard Candyman comes with 5 pairs of hands that should cover all your posing needs. He also comes with a magnetic stand and a normal stand. The normal stand has a crouch grabber in addition to claws. I have seen crouch grabber stands but never with claws. Candyman has magnetics in his feet so the magnetic stand works really good. I was able to get him to balance on one foot using the magnetic stand. Normal poses are easy to pull off using either stand. Without a stand he might be a little trick to stand since his feet are small.
One thing this really needs is a alternate head. Some guns or swords would have been nice also. $30 bucks and all it comes with is hands.
I give Hard Candyman 8 pairs of hands out of 10. Raise that to a 9 at $15.
Third Sister Reva
Third Sister Reva. I really dig this figure. They capture the actress perfectly. You have your basic black series articulation. She has a soft cape that I like. She comes with a double bladed sword and two other light sabers that are the double blade in detached form. One problem they made is that the double blade only has a half circle, it should be a full circle.
Combatants: Tadala "Vespid"
One of the best looking figures I have. Someone said they thought Combatants have the best female figures. I’m not sure I agree with that just because it is hard to say what best means. Best looking, best articulation, overall best? But it is the best one I own.
So I’ll start with the bad. Straight out of the box I had paint that was rubbed off of her stomach where her armor was covering it. Considering how much this thing is that is a huge problem. I wont be able to pose her in fear of rubbing paint off. The other problem is she has a helmet instead of a alternate head. There is no way I’m putting the helmet on her head. The risk to ruining that beautiful face is to high. I plan to use another head and put the helmet on it. I might also strip all her armor off and use it for a kit bash wonder woman.
Some of the good things are individual arrows, hands with finger gaps for the arrows, articulation is great even with single joint elbows, and I like that all the armor can be removed. She is nude underneath except for her panties. This might be the only one without removable panties. I don’t really care one way or the other. Her hair and skin tone (the part not F up by the armor) is just perfect. This should be standard for super hero women. She isn’t skinny and not super bulky. She looks like a good fighter that can kick some A.
I give this a 8 arrows out of 10.
Black Panther "Shuri"
Arms and legs just go this high. How sad.
Still can pose her with the limited articulation.
Jakks Toad from The super Mario Bros movie
Very simply toy with limited articulation but it is Toad so that is to be expected. The current price is $20. I think it is worth maybe 10 or 12 dollars.
He comes with a skillet and that is it. For 20 dollars some more stuff should have been included like a question block, gold coin, a camp fire, or maybe a fire flower. The sculpt is pretty nice. He is a fun little guy with his mushroom hat (or is that his head) and backpack. I plan to take pictures of him in different places like a traveling gnome.
I give this 7 koopa kids out of 10.
Rumble in the Bronx
I kept seeing this for like $24 dollars so gave it a pass. Then I seen it for $12 which is still BS but I bought it.
The robot mode is cool. The main downside is that there is nowhere to put the drivers if you don’t have them on his hands. Also the drivers don’t move. Also his blasters connect to his wrist instead of his hands.
The tape mode is a disappointment. Just doesn’t look like a tape or also known as a cosset disk. It is like a record but instead of plastic disk the music is on a ribbon. Oh you don’t know what a record is? A record is like a 8 track but instead of this big blocky thing the music is on a plastic round disk that is played by vibrations from a needle on a record player. Wait, wait you don’t know what a 8 track is?
Okay I see the problem. I’m going in the wrong direction. So a 8 track holds music on it like yuber tube on your your phone. But unlike your phone it was only used for music. You couldn’t call people and talk to them like you can on a phone. What’s you didn’t know you could use a phone to talk to people. Okay that is like typing on a typewriter but with sound. Wait you don’t know what a typewriter is? I give up.
I give Rumble 6 old tech devices out of 10.
This "Samurai Prowl" from Iron Studios recently arrived:
He transformed and said "Hi!" to Grimlock:
The Dinobot didn't like his face, though, and they started to fight:
Samurai Prowl felt like a modern St. George battling the dragon:
He got the upper hand because of his speed:
In the end, Grimlock asked him to stop, and they became friends:
Grimlock had more adventures that day, but I'll tell you about those in another post. 
After fighting with Samurai Prowl, Grimlock decided to go for a walk:
He was looking for his buddy Evelyn, who did not appear to be home:
As it turned out, Evelyn had gone for a walk herself:
Grimlock waved at her, and then he resumed his walk:
Grimlock had even more adventures that day, but I'll tell you about those in yet another post.
*gets popcorn*
Grimlock then came across his buddy Sludge:
Sludge tap danced for a minute:
Then, he transformed and asked Grimlock what places were worth seeing around:
Grimlock said he had to go check out the giant black cat that lived nearby. She was bigger than a dinosaur!
Sludge was very impressed and asked the cat, whose name was Hazel, to check out his tail:
After that, Sludge went to find Evelyn the bearded dragon, but she wasn't back home yet:
So he stood there pondering what to do next, which we'll find out next time!
My first Decepticon, Blitzwing, just arrived!
He was looking for some Dinobots to mess with...
When he came across Evelyn the Dinosaur, he knew he was on the right track!
He transformed to cover more ground:
And, sure enough, he found Grimlock and Sludge hanging out:
Blitzwing quickly transformed to fight them:
It was going to be a clash of epic proportions!
To be continued! 
Blitzwing...is a tank?
Blitzwing...is a tank?
And a plane. Blitz. Wing.
I didn't have time to transform him into a jet. But soon!
I didn't have time to transform him into a jet. But soon! :)
Also Blitzwing’s jet mode has always been a giant tank with wings and the turret at the bottom of the jet.
In tank mode his jet, uh, c*ckpit is in an unfortunate position.
In tank mode his jet, uh, c*ckpit is in an unfortunate position.
Yeah, when this version was revealed fans were annoyed Hasbro hadn’t done more to hide it, but Hasbro insisted that it was more faithful to the original toy which has the same issue.
Blitzwing got the upper hand at first...
But as soon as Grimlock and Sludge transformed, he knew he was in trouble:
Blitzwing transformed into a jet (with a giant tank attached underneath)...
And escaped (cameo by my hand):
The Dinobots took some shots at him, but he was too fast (despite having a giant tank attached underneath):
And so Blitzwing flew away over the jungle, thinking about how he could beat the Dinobots next time.
The end
To address the comments above, yes, the "protruberance" in tank mode is not ideal, and the giant tank at the bottom in jet mode is not great either, but I think both modes are good enough --making a triple changer really is an engineering feat!
In any case, what matters the most to me is the robot form (as that's how he's going to spend most of his time on the shelf), and I think it's freaking awesome!
Finally, I got a second Decepticon in the mail today! I just need to find some time to play!
I have that Blitzwing and he’s a great figure, I agree. The alt forms being slightly compromised is the nature of triple changers.
I have a lot of these figures. I just never take pictures of them. So this will be my contribution since I happen to have my NewAge Altfire with me right now.
Cool! I'm glad you shared!
I only have a few Transformers, but my collection keeps growing. Slowly but surely!
Oh man. I don’t even want to guess how many I have.
Another picture from today. The new Faker, Nemesis Leo Prime, Leo Prime and Dr. Wu’s mini Trypticon.
Masterpiece Ratchet. I love the face behind the windshield that’s a nod to the G1 toy.
Masterpiece Thundercracker (one of my favorite characters) and Earthrise Thundercracker.
NewAge dead Optimus Prime
That Ratchet is very cool!
Also, I don't know what's weirder: that they made a dead Optimus Prime, or that he actually transforms. He looks cool, though.
As for figures in my collection, I think I have 18 or 19, and 3 pre-orders coming at some point in the next few months.
MDLX Megatron is here! No story (yet), just some pictures:
He has a BIG gun :
Nice back, sir:
And I know I said no story yet, but he did make friends with Blitzwing:
That Megatron is badass. Does he transform?
No, unfortunately the MDLX line does not transform. But they all look INCREDIBLE.
I know technically this is the No Stupid Legos thread, but they happen to be on the same shelf. I just reorganized the shelf and I got Optimus Prime standing for the first time in a decade or so. Many years ago I made the mistake of oiling his hip joint axles and now, due to the springs, there's no friction stopping the legs from folding back all the time. But I tried a couple of things and now there's a binder clip keeping one of his legs straight and as long as I don't put any pressure on it, he'll stay upright. If you view the large pic, you can see it behind his right leg.
I see you have a Conehead without his cone up.
I do! I think they look kinda dumb with the cone up!
