Okay, thanks! Good to know. I'd highly recommend Yotsuba&! (the manga Danboard comes from) if you're in the mood for a beautifully-drawn series that's sweet and funny.



Thought this was going to be a month of purely working through my backlog (Figure-rise and Furai kits, I will complete you), but instead this fluorescent boy showed up today. It's Earthrise Grapple! He's super-simple (barely a dozen transformation steps, and he's Voyager-sized), but still very fun to mess around with. All of the articulation you'd want, with only a couple problems. The arms don't really tab in to the torso, it's mostly friction, so any time you swing his arms out they're going to detach. Also, the way the crane armature pegs into his feet for truck-mode is scary tight. There are a bunch of reports of fans accidentally shearing off the pegs by untransforming him, so be careful.

He's a pretty good Grapple. He's nearly incandescent in his orangeness. I dig him!
