There was a box for me on my front porch today!  There were Mikes inside!  Wooooooooooooooo!

Here's a photo I snapped for you of Mike standing beside the Amber statue.  Also, here are some more photos from Starline and TheBlotSays, who also received theirs.  And, hey, guess what, there are still a few statues left for folks to buy!  Go grab him while he's still there.

The Mike statue is basically my most favorite thing ever.  I want to carry it around like an Academy Award.

Or, like, get that TF/GIJoe poster and have him stare down Roadblock.

Or just point to him in lieu of telling a Your Mom joke.  When someone's over at the house, and they say something like, "I paid a nickel for this!" I can just point to the Mike statue and it will be understood that I am mentally responding with "I paid a nickel for your mom."

See?  A time saver.

And, as I said, limited quantities. Don't be left out!

Masterpiece Rodimus Prime was revealed (in color) at this weekend's C3X Hobby in Japan.  Okay, woo, so he transforms from  Hot Rod to Rodimus Prime to Hot Rod's car to Rodimus Prime's truck, which is sort of neat, I guess, if you like awesome things.  But it all pales in comparison to him finally being the right color.

Oh, yes, he's magenta, folks.

He's gonna be about $200 to import, so I think I'm going to pass on him.  I do that kind of money for Grimlock, but not Hot Rod.  If he comes out in the states, I'll probably pick him up, but there's no promises that he'll remain that purply color, so it's a bittersweet decision.  Though, as I was reminded by AllSpark dude Powered Convoy, a large-ass Rodimus toy would go perfect in a Wreckers display.  Now that's tempting!

Personally, I'm just excited that he exists, but I liked the punchline too much.  Ethan is so frustrated.  He shouldn't be!  He's getting some!

(And, really, the whole thing is really Blaster's toy's fault anyway.)
