Dinobot Snarl – Tranformers G1 1984

December 3, 2013 Hasbro, Transformers, Transformers No Comments

I decided to create separate posts for the Dinobots. This one is Dinobot Snarl.  I purchased Snarl in 1984 from Service Merchandise which was a catalog showroom store.   Basically, you’d go to the store, look in a catalog and someone would bring out the item to you. I picked up several of my Generation 1 Transformers there.

Here is my collection of Dinobots. I am only missing Swoop. I am still looking for a good used version of him. Most pieces I have seen have issues, so I still don’t have one yet.

Jazz Transformers G1 2002

December 1, 2013 Hasbro, Transformers, Transformers No Comments

Below is Jazz.  I did have the original Generation 1 Jazz back in 1984, but I know I traded a bunch of Transformers away for some of the Godaikins I have now.  You can tell this is the 2002 Hasbro Commemorative Series III re-issue because the missile launcher is much larger than the original. Still, he’s one of my favorite autobots.

Convoy 01 Transformers 15th Anniversary Edition Takara 2000

December 1, 2013 Takara, Transformers, Transformers 1 Comment

Here’s Optimus Prime!  This one is the Convoy 01 Takara 15th Anniversary Edition re-issue. But I never had the original Optimus Prime as a kid. I bought him in Akihabara during my last trip to Japan. I got him for 40 dollars at Mandarake. Which was a very good deal. I haven’t taken him out of the box but will at some point.

I updated this post with a cleaned up Hound.  I dusted him off with a damp qtip, lens cloth and re-glued some of his decals.  I’m trying to show my collection a little love after all of these years.

This is a re-issue that I purchased in the early 2000’s. It is the Prowl Commemorative Series IV which was a Toys R’ Us exclusive in 2003. I’ve added a still image from the Transformers cartoon. I remember this would come on right after Star Blazers and I would make sure to hurry home so that I could watch these shows.

Here’s Silverstreak that I purchased from Service Merchandise in 1984. Service Merchandise was a catalog showroom store where you looked through a catalog and you picked the item you wanted and they would bring it out to you, although for the toys, they were accessible on the shelves. I bought almost all of my original G1 Transformers from this store.

Behind Silverstreak is Inferno. I bought him in japan in 1985. Silverstreak is more often known as Bluestreak.
