That is most of the collection, some are hiding in plain sight around the house and other in a shelf nearby

    Ok seriously, how do you keep all the dolls from picking up a layer of dust after, say, a year? If you dont, how do you clean them?

      I use an electronics duster, leaf blower and compressor depending on how long I’ve left it. This is with legos at least.

      The electronics duster as a brush and does some DECENT volume. The compressor has sent pieces flying…,

      This thing helps, it is an air pistol. But there is a thin layer of dust that remains and kinda just live with it. I guess that if it gets to the point that is unbearable I’ll just spent some days cleaning section by section.

    I had a fair few of these when I was a kid, but I never really watched or cared much for Transformers — the 1980s cartoon, or the movies. The movies are just bad, the show was tolerable but I wouldn’t choose to watch it. IIRC I even watched GoBots more, and that was like the K-Mart Transformers.

    Either way, the toys were cool as hell because they could transform. None of them could stand up very well without some assistance, so I mostly left Bumblebee, for example, as a car. I never had Optimus Prime (I think my brother did?) or Megatron. I did have the dinosaurs — there were like five of them that transformed into robotic dinosaurs, and could link together like Voltron. And it was a giant pain in the arse to get them to link together properly. And then, good luck getting it to stand without falling on its face or back.

      The engineering on this things has improved quite a bit since the 80’s. I think nominally around here the price has remained quite similar wich is great.

      There a some combiners there, decently solid I would say.
