When I was 8, my brother and I wanted the Scorponok toy but couldn't afford him. We took cuttings off mum's plants, grew new ones, and sold them until we could afford him. I went on to toy sales, bro opened a plant nursery

Toys are formative. Gimme ZZ

Finally watching Crash & Burn about 35 years later than intended, 35 minutes in and no giant robots have punched each other. Disappointing.

You won't like him when he's Fangry

Man, this guys legs were completely seized up and can't fully straighten without uncomfortable force, and I can't find his weapons (if I ever had them), still looks great though

G1 Horri-Bull

Other than the complete and total discolouration (grey has turned to an almost brown), this guy has held up better than expected. Heavy play during his toy days has worn down the pegs that normally cause problems later in life when brittleness sets in

Sucks that we have Horrorcons, Terrorcons, Monsterbots, and these guys got stuck with Decepticon Headmasters (1988)

From now on, they're the Monster Squad!

Unable to get that exquisite Soundwave statue, we're resigned creating a stand-in for the SS86 Soundwave. And trying to recreate the incredible details which are testament to the care and passion in its making.

G1 Broadside

A mythical beast when I was young. I never saw one in store, never had one second hand, didn't have a mate who had one, I had just never seen one.

Found it on a market stall early 90s for £2. I was overjoyed. Filling gaps before ebay was just random dumb luck.

G1 Springer - another relic from childhood I haven't felt the need to upgrade. I have replacement stickers, but I don't have the heart to remove these ones my brother applied over 30 years ago

G1 Sandstorm - another childhood toy, but this one was second-hand when we got it (as most of ours were), but has since been cleaned and stickered
