A bunch of new kids
I also love having toys on the desktop (by that, I mean the top of my real desk, not the one in Windows), and while hunting around for the usual Christmas bargains for family, I managed to find a few more of the now hard-to-come-by Deluxe series 1 figurines. The reason I love this particular series of toys is purely on the fact that they look probably the closest to the characters in the show itself.
Out of the 4 newest ones, the only one I'm no fan of is Airachnid. She doesn't pose well, and a set of very flat hands as well as being hard to balance. Its a pity, but given how hard it is to find these now in any store...

Bumblebee, on the other hand has not only a solid stance, he's also quite poseable. He also has a pretty mean facial expression that just says "Serious". This one actually looks a lot better then I'd expected after seeing the rather "toy like" pose that is on the back of the packaging. Like Wheeljack, this particular toy has attitude...

The last 2 kids are not too bad either. Soundwave looks particularly technical - though he does seem a little tricky to balance, and I can't quite get any dynamic posing from him. But he looks very cool...
Knock out looks as he should - Arrogant (he has a somewhat sarcastic smirk on his face) and he stands fairly well. There's some scope for posing, though nowhere as much as the others.

I need more!!!
I'll be keeping my eyes peeled. In fact, hopefully Cyber Monday will reveal some old stock in the USA that may be at the right price! I know I shouldn't - with the piles of paper, DVDR's, mouse cable, books and BSG toys - my somewhat tiny desk is now starting to look a little more cluttered (thank goodness for the wireless keyboard).
