By retelling the story of Bertha Mason, Rhys offers a unique and powerful perspective on Jane Eyre
River City Classics is the biggest car show of the year here in southern Alberta... 1,200 cars packed into a small town for one day... It's one I always look forward to, even though the photography is difficult, but the atmosphere is magic...
Roadbuster is a voyager-class release of the big Autobot. He has now finally got a decent official toy that homages his G1 self. Pictured in robot mode.
This Roadbuster isn't spectacular, and is just slightly above average. His feet are finicky as is his poseability. But he does have decent play value with his transformation and weapon options.
I did apply all the stickers he came with, which aren't all that great.
Overall, I think I prefer to have Fansproject's Revolver Core as my go-to Classics Roadbuster (especially when he's armored up).
Couldn't pass up on her after seeing her for about 10 dollars. I mainly thought I was buying her for her clothes (wanted to give her tail and top to my Disney Store Classics), but after removing all the bands, rinsing and drying her hair, and despite her shiny skin, I had a change of heart. She might not be my favorite but she is a beautiful doll
The Signature Classics Ursulla however definitely trumps over the Disney Store Vinyl Plush Doll. Thanks gymncomics for being my enabler for her lol

Today, the signals are gone and the UP power is either sold off or stored.

Thrust, the classic G1 conehead seeker, gets a general US release in the Generations line. Here he is in his in deluxe class robot mode.
I already have the Gentei! Gentei! Thrust from Japan, but this deco is the local release and actually more accurate to his classic design with the gold cockpit and darker burgundy. The burgundy also has a nice metallic swirl effect as well.
He has the same flexibility with the placement of his VTOL turbines and missile launchers like the Japanese figure.
Classics Omega Supreme in his gigantic robot mode.
Platinum Edition "Year of the Snake" Omega Supreme is a slight redeco and remold of the Energon figure. I got this exclusive from Amazon.
You can combine both his split alternate modes into a very, very long "supertrain". Interesting, but a bit pointless.

Nombre: Prowl
Afiliación: Autobots
Línea: Classics Henkei
Tamaño: Deluxe
Año: 2008
Número de adquisición: 164
Decidí que voy a tratar de comprar los Henkei que pueda en lugar de los Universe Classic Series, por sus mejores acabados.
Prowl es una excelente figura aunque tiene el problema de que las puertas se le zafan muy fácilmente. Cuesta mucho que la cabeza le queda alta, así que parece que siempre ve para abajo.

I decided that I will try to buy the Henkei figures instead of the Universe Classic Series, because of the best paint applications.
Prowl is an excellent figure, although he has a problem, doors are constantly detached when transforming.
I used a Reveal the Shield Rodimus as base (not sure why they don't call him Hot Rod anymore..) but I retooled him a little, to make him more interesting and unique.
First of all, I never liked the head sculpt, since it looks nothing like the cartoon version, so I resculpted it, and gave him his signature helmet look. I also added removable arm exhaust stacks/blasters. He now has 3 stacks on each arm, just the way it should've been in the first place! : )
Finally, I added a new wrist mounted saw for his left arm, which can be attached to the orginal (very tiny) one.
The rest is my usual cartoon style, following the cartoon color scheme as close as the mold allowed, with cell shaded windshields in car mode, for a very retro look.

"I would love a photo of the Classics Department's seminar room. I wonder if the photo could be taken from the entrance, to capture the bookshelves, that long luxurious table, and the windows? But I'll completely trust the judgement of the photographer!!"

Classic Ice Storm started as Starscream. The client wanted this set (2 of 3) to resemble the MP seekers I did in the past, yet with subtle changes to the effects.
My usual cartoon style brings old Bee to life!
I used a custom yellow mix for him, plus several shades of gray to make him look as show accurate as possible.
As bonus item, he comes with the "Bee Gun", from the BTS Trailer.
Program from "Dancin' In The Streets," the Ann Arbor Dance Classics Recital from March 16th, 2014. Started a project to scan and share all sorts of documents - I have a good number of these programs from over the years.

Blurr gets a classics/generations release with this retooling of deluxe class Drift.
He has a slightly different spoiler than Drift, but a little bit better deco.
I would tell collectors to look at the painting on his hood when picking up the figure. Mine is a bit messy and scuffed.

Sunstreaker es uno de los mejores moldes que he visto en la serie Classics/Universe/Henkei. Un excelente homenaje al personaje G1. Además comparándolo con el de Hasbro, estoy muy satisfecho con el de Takara.

Sunstreaker is one of the best molds in the Classics/Universe/Henkei series. An excellent homage to the G1 character. Also, I'm very pleased with this Takara Henkei instead of the Hasbro versions.

He's another of my favorite classics molds. He's very cartoon accurate.
Odly enough all together on the road, is a long line of cool, and unique cars. With new and old, this is quite the coincidence.

The recitals will be held on Friday June 15th and Saturday June 16th, 2018 at Saline High School (Saline, Michigan).
