iGear MW-02 Rager

I stumbled across this guy for a pretty good price (cheap) on eBay and picked it up, it is a nice version of G1 Huffer in the current trend of Third Party Transformers



Rager Came Packaged in a nice little box and came with a Bio card made out of plastic. a nice touch i thought, also inclued are two hannd guns for the little guy.

Kup And His Upgrades

Good Ol' Generations Kup is ready for another fancy upgrade, this is most likely the last time Kup will be Upgraded , This is the third Addition to Generations Kup,

First up was the iGear Head Replacement
Secondly Was The Weapon Upgrade

This left Kup Looking like This:

So I finally managed to put and order in at Reprolabels and it arrived pretty speedily considering, this order included a sticker sheet for Generations Sergeant Kup, to add a little bit of character to the toy, either G1 toy inspired or Toon Inspired or Wrecker Inspired.....

Now That's Bluetiful

Okay so i borrowed the title from the Daily Telegraph, but it is very fitting for what i have to show off...


Recently i had the opportunity in a lunch break at work to add an item to my Sports Memoribilia collection. a Signed Ball by the NSW Blues Origin Team


I work In Sydney so when i saw the below add at Mid City i thought i would check it out in my lunch break

Generations Kup Upgraded - Again

Remember this guy from a  previous post?

Thats Right Classics Seargent Kup with iGears Head Upgrade.. well recently i aquired another iGear "Upgrade" for Kup.

W-01 Upgrade Kit

whilst nothing super spectacular inside there are weapons based off what the characters have used in the IDW Comics

Included:

1 Sniper rifle for Perceptor

2 Pistols for Perceptor

2 Pistols Kup

so a couple of comic like weapons added to the figure and the old timer is starting to look like he almost stepped out of the comic.

Whilst there is nothing about these weapons that would make me say OMG you have to get them, if you come across them for a reasonable price they are worth picking up...

what else can we do to pimp out kup???

i Miss my Stuff

i moved house not long ago (well almost 6 months really) and the idea was get everything ready before i move my collection over with me.. but weather and delays in getting some big ticket items completed around the house (Diveway - Landscaping - etc) setting up the collection room kept getting pushed to the side.

i would of thought i would of been able to get the first set of cabinets installed ready for the transition a but at this point in time everything is still packed away and in storage (apart from a handfull of items i have aquired since)

and it has dawned on me i miss looking at my stuff..

oneday soon i hope to get something out on display again...

Acquisition - iGear - Kup-01 Replacement Heads

Who: iGear Kup Replacement Heads
Where: eBay
When: 27 February 2012
How Much?: $8.00


In the mail today arrived some Body parts..... iGear's Kup-01 Replacement Head for Generations Sergent Kup.....

The Heads are for this Guy

A Novel Design Feature about the packaging for the Replacement heads is that the box is the perfect size for Kup to carry as cargo.. after all in the heat of battle you don't want to lose your head.

 The Heads are designed after the IDW Kup Design which is a pretty good looking head for the old timer..one with his "Cy-Gar" and one without.. i have decided to put the cy-gar smoking head on Kup (remember smoking is hazardous to all transformers)

now the idea of replacing the head is a good one too as the original one given to Kup by his makers is not a pretty one that is for sure

Back it up...

Bit More and Unload...

.....



Off with the Old.



And on with the new



Kup is now ready for some Wreckers Action!!

Whilst i am not a big fan of third party products or modifying figures i do like the newer head for Kup the existing head he had just did not look right(its like it came out of the mould wrong). a cheap modification that wont look out of place on the shelf.

Acquisition - G1 - 1987 - Targetmaster Cyclonus

Who: Targetmaster Cyclonus with Nightstick
Where: OTCA Member canofwhoopass_87
When: 23 February 2012
How Much: $--.--

Targetmaster Cyclonus is one of those figures that are hard to come by  at the best of times, so when there was one up for offer, it was a must pick up for me. Missing from my collection and a target on my hit list for 2012 it is nice to get this guy out of the way early!!

The front of the Box is in wonderful condition, the back of the box has been repaired as the techs were cut out but it is hardley noticable.

For the most part Cyclonus is naked so i might need to look into getting some stickers for him down the track... and as you can see below the rubsign is somewhat destroyed apart from that  the figure is in great condition for his age.

Nightstick

Overall i am very happy with my recent pickups from canofwhoopass_87 thanks you for filling a few tricky holes in my collection!!
