The "Look At What I Just Got!" Thread

Anyone know when Hasbro is putting SDCC 2013 stuff up on Hasbrotoyshop.com ???? I have not found a date yet anywhere. I heard the Mattycollector stuff was not going to be until the 5th??

Generally, it's been the Wednesday after the Con. But we have not heard of a formal announcement regarding the date or time (yet).

Don't know where to post this, but I need some advice:

Here is a shot of Herman after I cleaned up his head and hands. Flawless (sorry about the flash though). I just need to find a safe way to clean his shirt and suit (seriously, I could use some advise guys). It shows it's age, but just needs a good cleaning and some time in a dry climate.

edit: There is a very small record player and vinyl record inside (seriously, I did my research. 60's toys are weird) so I'm skeptical about how to clean him up. When you pull the string he talks, and that is possible because the record is spun inside. Awesome. Feel free to send me ideas!

^I'd suggest maybe taking him to a dry cleaning place and see what they can do for you. I'd also aware them that there is a "very small record player" inside so they know to handle with extra care.^

I like the Marzo a lot, He was a good evil character to me. The king greyskull is a nice one to start with for the good guys. As He-Mans ancestor he is pretty nice. Nice finds :-)

Ok, I was so upset seeing what great loot everyone got from SDCC, I decided to get some nice Play Arts Kai weeks before their release.
-Poison Ivy
-Medal Of Honor
-Superman
-Zod

These guys showed up today right before I had to leave for work so I didn't get much of a chance to mess around with them, but I snapped a couple of pics before I had to leave.

Got them put away, so here's a couple of pics of my display as it sits right now.

It's hard to get the full effect since I had to stand so far away to get all of them into the pic, but it looks better than the pic portrays.

I need to work on some risers for the Autobots, but I'm waiting on some of the other cars to get released (and my MP10 to arrive), before I start worrying about that.

...took the cassettes to work with me so I could get a chance to check them out :P

Awesome display! What are those other seekers that are back there? Thought there was only MP Star, Cracker, Sunstorm, Skywarp and Acid Storm....

I hate to answer for him, but those are all imports. The grey one behind Scream is the first Scream (in semi realistic colors) , then the coneheads are across the back ( Ramjet, Thrust and Dirge) then the semi clear one is the Ghost of Starscream, and the dark blue one behind Acid Storm is the Japan version of Thundercracker that was more classic toy colored, where as the TRU version was colored from the cartoon. The only one I don't see is King Starscream with the Crown and Cape and Shoulder pads.

i think he's referring to the coneheads.. which are knockoffs. they're from the company igear. they're basically copied versions of the original seeker mold, retooled to have coneheads.

also, the sunstorm is the knockoff version rather than the official takara release. takara's is yellow, whereas the one in the photo is more orange.

they definitely look great though.

Ah ok thank you, yeah trying to complete my MP Seeker's and the only one I really need is Sunstorm, but kind of hesitant in getting him in case Hasbro releases him for next year.
