WB

animator guy who tweets once in a blue moon yeah (C0mms open) rambles a lot about random bullshit

[WB @WB_S_]

@TFHypeGuy Animation Accurate Beast Wars stuff is peak. Physical representations of early 90s CG is so fun

if only HasTak did something like this for the anniversary

[WB @WB_S_]

@TFHypeGuy I rlly gotta get all the yolopark beast wars fogures they all look SO PERFECT

Primal I’m not the biggest on, proportions look off, but I love they maintained his gimmicks. The others…. omg

[WB @WB_S_]

@AssTransformers @M0BILESUITZER0 honestly prob one of the biggest appeals besides the price/quality tbh, super beginner friendly (even if some kits, namely action editions, got my fingers screaming by the end lmao

[WB @WB_S_]

@TFTranssexual is the replacement service still down? Been waiting on a replacement for my loose Animated Ratchet since May…

[WB @WB_S_]

@AvuxTF Yeah when I shit on a figure/wave I do it with full knowledge it ain't any of the HasTak designer's fault, it's corporate's budget cuts restricting their vision

[WB @WB_S_]

@TFHypeGuy Void Rivals is peak idc that nobody else reads it

[WB @WB_S_]

@Maxmc552 another set I wanna highkey back collect. Even if only Smokescreen, Cliffjumper, and the jets look appealing to me tbh

[WB @WB_S_]

@scottyk411 @Dr_Lockdown @Maxmc552 probably a case of “only space we have open” yeah

[WB @WB_S_]

@scottyk411 yyep. Unfortunate but hey atleast gave my man Thundercracker some spotlight being the debut of the mold lmao

[WB @WB_S_]

@scottyk411 That does also make sense. Again now that I think about it probably why Starscream was made the exclusive, since higher ups would be more interested putting him in mainline sooner than the other two

[WB @WB_S_]

@scottyk411 @Dr_Lockdown @Maxmc552 Yeah, heard the next two are him and bugbite I think? A really weird turn for the line to go intothose characters, hope it’s just a small sidestep and we’ll be getting either the rest of the minibots or move onto the cars in the future

[WB @WB_S_]

@scottyk411 @Dr_Lockdown @Maxmc552 That’s fair, yeah. It’s just kind of a thing where I get it for a business standpoint, but it’s a huge middle finger to the fans. Of course it’s super likely we’ll get a normal release of SS86 Starscream in the future ala Cosmos but still for the moment goddamn

[WB @WB_S_]

@scottyk411 @Dr_Lockdown @Maxmc552 Probably, yeah. funny Outback, a direct redeco, has been several times harder for me to find, seemingly perpetually out of stock. The only time I can say this line has done that to me lmao.

(Offtopic I pray whoever calls the shot starts making the autobot cars in the style too

[WB @WB_S_]

@scottyk411 @Dr_Lockdown @Maxmc552 in general it’s kind of a thing where I don’t think there can be a simple balance. they either screw customers because stores don’t exist in some regions or hardly stock the right items, or screw stores with stock that hardly moves. But well imo the customers matter more

[WB @WB_S_]

@scottyk411 @Dr_Lockdown @Maxmc552 Not sure the actual sales numbers, but Walmart’s Retro capsule seems the best approach imo, appealing redecoes with a fun theme and even the new molds (Seaspray, Wheelie) are well stocked. Brawl seemingly was the only shelfwarmer going off him always being on discount

[WB @WB_S_]

@Dr_Lockdown @Maxmc552 in general I feel exclusives should be reserved for either new recolors or reissues of old figures, making a Main Character an exclusive is so lame (why I'm similarly annoyed the SS86 Hot Rod reissue, something people have begged for for ages, was an exclusive...

[WB @WB_S_]

@BIGFROGS_ why are the tfa figures so expensive in general bro HASBRO PLEASE PICK UP THE SLACK MAKE MORE MODERN CHUG VERS I need a figure of Bulkhead, Blitzwing, Shockwave, and Megatron so bad im gonna explode

[WB @WB_S_]

@shookieshima I’ve been meaning to get back on it, started the first season semi recently but stopped after Phoenix Fire’s introduction dhdhd

also wanna get back to collecting the figs, only have Blue Cop atm. Wanted to collect them all but BBTS is slowly selling out of a lot I wanted…
