I didn’t always take breakfast seriously but as I have started taking better care of my health and overall well being I know how essential it is to start the day in the right direction. My mornings usually start with getting my girls off to school and then heading to the gym. Before a long… [read more]
The post Power Breakfast Ideas – Non-Dairy Yogurt Bowl appeared first on Our Ordinary Life.
It's a little earlier than usual, but BotCon is here once again! As usual the annual event's first day starts with the official reveal of all the exclusive goodies. They've been super ambitious with the offerings this year, though I do think the they came up a little short with the Dawn of the Predacus box set only having five figures. But for the right money they've got some solid picks. Check these out:
-Dawn of the Predacus box set --
-Attendee bonus: Terrorsaur (CW Air Raid retool)
-Golden Ticket figure: Flash Sentry (CW Shockwave retool)
-Custom Class: Ratchet (CW First Aid retool) with five possible varations --
-Souvenir Megatron (Robots in Disguise 2001 Megatron retool)
-Souvenir Reflector three-pack (CW Shockwave retool) --
-Souvenir Airrazor (Takara Tomy Legends Slipstream)
-Souvenir Tigatron (box set Ravage repaint)
-Souvenir Unit-3 (CW Streetsmart repaint)
-Megatron's rubber duckie
Plus there were other things like glasses, shot glasses, cards, and comics. Megatron is a phenomenal looking figure, there's little surprise why they called it the centerpiece of the souvenirs. Airrazor is also a surprise since that particular mold has only been used in Japan thus far. The reflector three-pack is notable because they can actually be combined to make something resembling a Cybertronian camera. This was actually rumored to be coming as a regular retail set, but maybe that one will have the original toy's red, blue, and purple colors instead of the cartoon colors seen here. Another special item is a sticker sheet that can be used to convert Combiner Wars Silverbolt, Prowl, and Ironhide along with Tigatron and Unit-3 into Magnaboss, Predacus' rival.
All in all we're off to a good start. Unfortunately this will be Fun Publication's final year hosting BotCon and handling the Collectors Club. In 2017 everything will be moving back to Hasbro who so far hasn't made a statement on how the club and con will be handled in the future. Hopefully we'll at least have lower prices.
New figure reveals come Saturday!

Matt AKA Melllvarr from RFC has also lent us his blank customizing class Ratchet! Unpainted custom class figures were available even to those who didn't attend the class, so you can check out the previously unused Ratchet head for the Combiner Wars First Aid mold. Keep reading to see!
Next up from the Melllvarr Collection is BotCon 2016 exclusive Tigatron! This remold of Combiner Wars Breakdown sports the same head sculpt as the Ravage from the Predacus boxset. Keep reading to have a look!
Our latest piece from the generously loaned Botcon 2016 collection of RFC's Matt, aka Melllvarr is Airazor. This figure is a recolor of the so far otherwise TakaraTomy exclusive Slipstream remold of Windblade, which featured a unique head and chest sculpts, and alternate weapons. Airazor is the lowest run of all the regular souvenir figures at just 750, leaving some Tigatrons sure to have to go without their companion figures. Keep reading to check out our gallery!
ExVee and RAC are still playing with Melllvarr's toys while he's at the Stan Bush concert! Next is Unit-3, a fully embodied take on infamous Beast Wars Happy Meal toy Under-3! Based on the Streetwise mold, Unit-3 is ready for his gritty 90s reboot with his police car alt mode and triple-barrel shotgun. Keep reading to see!
Next up from Matt/Melllvarr's BotCon toy pile is Terrorsaur! The ill-fated Predacon features a new headsculpt on the Combiner Wars Air Raid body... but no HandFootGun. Guess it got burned up in the lava. Keep reading to see!
