Well, all these vehicles are reissues from like 1982-83. Although they gave a few of them new features like...removable covers so you can see the engine, and stuff like that. Which I don't give a damn about personally.

I got the DTC HISS Tank from a few years ago when it came out, and that's a much cooler vehicle:

I didn't get much, just some of the new Yu-Gi-Oh tins, mainly so I could get some of the next set's cards early. Is it just me, or does this card's art look like it's about to eat my soul?

I can has Universe Inferno.

Ahhh, this one was worth the wait. Pretty much everthing I look for in a Transformer, this one. With a big, fun, and realistic vehicle mode, a transformation that's both clever and intuitive, and an articulated and sturdy robot mode, Inferno's an all-round winner. Brings back a real sense of nostalgia for me, since I remember going to school with a kid who had him. Although I own a reissue (That Dom sold me, funnily enough), this sparks stronger nostalgia. Strange. Yet good.

I have been meaning to review my Inferno for a bit. I do like it. In package, the toy struck me as unremarkable. But, it is a very evenly designed and executed piece.

This week: Customizing yielded a Bad Ass Frank action figure. I made a passing comment about customizing a BAF figure in the man's blog. He called me out on it, and......

Them's strong words. Can you elaborate? I really wanted to get him (mostly for weird nostalgia factor I guess)

Dom's taste in toys can...vary. That said, I'm innerested in seeing why too.
