Universe Powerglide and Onslaught. Last TF I really need right now is Animated Blitzwing, and I'm tempted to just order him online and be done with it.

The back of the card has pictures of other KO's, including Universe Superion, Raiden, and Build King. I got him at a Big Lots we stopped by while in Kentucky this weekend.

I have the the same KO, but in G2 colors, and it's really great quality for a KO. I'm hoping I can say the same for this one once i open him.

Awesome. I love tracking down KOs (which usually leads to Hong Kong); did the Raiden, Build King, etc. have their own names? My girlfriend got one of a series of RobotMasters KOs (I think it was Ligier, but I forget his KO name); on the back, it showed the others you could get, and the RM Convoy was called "TRACTOR TRUCKS". Good times.

They also each had a semi-working light jammed into them, and the words "LIGHT GOES ON" smothered on the cardfront. Whatta gimmick!

A spectacular line of KO BW toys I had the good fortune to encounter once bore the amazing line-name "Animism Defenders!"

None of the Animism Defenders could boast of a LIGHT GO ON! though, so they fail horribly.

No names on the card, but you can tell form the picture who they are KO's of.

I had a KO of RM Mirage. Very good quality.

Oh man, THAT is a name. Who knew Animism NEEDED Defending?? That really makes me wanna post my pictures of my diNObots (that's seriously how it's spelt on the packaging; the NO is huuuge). In fact, I think I will.

Still has fond memories of the old Prehistory Animal (G1 Dinobot KOs with arbitrary gold spikes and tiny wings).

Tales Designed to Thrizzle issues 1-3 - might as well complete the collection at home finally, after reading the ones I buy for others.

Watchmen graphic novel - went to read the original issues I have, and found I'm missing #3, 4, 6, and 8, which makes the storytelling flow rather difficult. Plus, now I have 2 Alan Moore graphic novels that were reproduced and sold due to their motion pictures, that's gotta piss him off pretty good.

Tales to Suffice #1 - $3.50, a pittance! I actually bought this for my pop's birthday in June, it entertained enough to buy again for myself, not as good as Thrizzle tho'. Comedy in comic books? Never!

NECA Player Select Kratos with Golden Fleece armor - been playing God of War 2 the past few nights, great game, and 1 area TRU had the Kratos figure so I figured what the heck. Articulation is good but could be so much better. Paint is very good, sculpting is excellent except it's missing his mid-torso scar from the game (cheapskates recycling the body from the first game). Accessories are pretty decent, though I wish there were chains on the Blades of Athena.

Damn, I wish I'd thought of the title "Tales To Suffice" first, because that's awesome.

My hauls for today:

Acid Storm: I don't think I really gotta explain how delirious with joy I am over finding this toy. You guys know my feelings on crazy green seeker, and I really can't believe that dude exists as a toy now.

Galvatron: I've heard mixed reviews, but just the fact that there's a Galvatron that's his own mold inspires me to buy it.

Also, saw Onslaught, and stashed him behind some Roll Out Command Primes. He oughtta be safe there.

Also, i may have a new car. Without a car payment, which would so much be a total win. Further bulletins on Scourge-mobile mark 3 as events warrant.

And all of this after the generally great day I had at and after work. My secondary job is so rad, sometimes.
