Black Rock Shooter Display

Hey all! I am still kicking! Just haven't been spending much time messing with toys lately since motorcycle riding season has started! I have just been practicing on the bike and riding around the area. Hoping to ride further when it gets warmer to really explore the province of Ontario this year!

Anyways, my toy hauls have significantly reduced since there isn't many stuff that catches my fancy lately. That and the fact that most of my spending money have been shifted to other stuff such as video games (recently grabbed a PS4!) and motorcycle related goods. However, I have recently received some long awaited pieces from Amiami and one of them is the TV version of Strength from the Black Rock Shooter series. I don't know what it is about this series, but I just really like the aesthetics and design of the characters. The shelf is pretty much full now, but there's still one more character coming: Chariot!

Oh, another new piece I got that I have integrated into this display is the Tamashii ground breaking effect parts. It's a fun set that can add a little dynamic effects to the displays.

Jet-powered Prime

I've been wanting this combo for a while, it's the second movie leader class Optimus Prime and the Fans Want It Jet-power upgrade set. Ever since this 3rd party set was released, I knew that I would want it. I eventually tracked down a loose Optimus Prime to use with this set. However, as time passed, this had fallen down the list of to-buys. But this bot popped up on the local Transformers site, the upgrade set with the prime for the same price as if I were to the get the upgrade set alone. So I pulled the trigger...and I am glad I did. This bot looks super cool! Much better than the Jetfire + Prime combo from Hasbro! It sits at about 12-14" in height which makes him MASSIVE! I need a whole shelf of my Detolf to display him. The cool thing about this set is the mobility is not impeded whatsoever, the articulation of the leader prime is all retained. Although that is not to say he can strike many poses because he is still really back heavy. That and together with the flimsy plastic (I read on the forums that the plastic on this snap really easily), I had to handle it with extra care. It was all worth it though as I finally got a screen accurate display for the Jet-powered Prime (one of my favs in Bayverse Transformers!).
