(There are no Antex or Estrela Volks in this picture, nor is it intended to be a picture of every version of the Bee mold ever made, it's just a selection)

The alt text would read G2 Inferno

I'm not cryptic with my posts

I'm in the minority, but I prefer superhero movies and TV shows when they are adapted to the advantages of their medium, rather than just trying to reproduce something that I already read and enjoyed 30 years ago.

Couldn't give a shit about mainstream audiences tbh, the comics are the real thing, warts and all. People treat superhero movies like strange prequels for an idealised universe that will never exist, but they're right there in the comics if you just put some effort in. It's also never been easier.

G2 Inferno

Lesser seen, but there's lots of subtle differences. The launchers are gone, and the fists just use friction. Water cannon. G2 internal tampo. Plus the reissues changed the eyes to blue, so this is the only yellow eyed Inferno in my collection

Haha, many thanks. I'm too inconsistent, it's my own fault. I'll disappear for a few years, rebrand, take a month off from posting every now and then, and I constantly upset the twitter algo

@drlockdown.bsky.social - I can see a message from you, but I can't access it or reply. I need to sort out a new VPN

Oh, I thought these were the Pulse exclusive boxes. My bad

DiaBrave Sid - 40th Best TF collection in Europe @diabrave.bsky.social · 1d

Wouldn't these have been much cheaper anywhere than Hasbro Pulse?

Or is it just the UK store putting the boot in?

There's still time.

I'm sure someone mentioned wanting a Snorko but the notification disappeared. But yes, absolutely, if there's one straight mash-up we need in the line, it's that.
