The Mach 8 is based around the idea of a belly tanker, and once you start adding more stuff to that it starts taking away from the overall look. Still, it's not badly done, so if the bumpers don't bother you then you'll likely think better of it. https://www.spencer1984.com/review/hot-wheels-mariokart-toad-mach-8.php21 Aug 2026 03:07 +0000at://did:plc:6ehgl42inbbgu54juarpy4tx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtkrsplbis2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/spencer1984.bsky.social/post/3mte4y4argk2cPoor Broadside…it’s like the writers knew his original toy sucked so they just ran with it. A jet that’s afraid of heights and a ship that gets seasick. The TR figure is better, but even then I have his jet wildly mistransformed so it looks vaguely like an airplane for this #TransformersTuesday18 Aug 2026 11:39 +0000at://did:plc:6ehgl42inbbgu54juarpy4tx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mte4y4argk2chttps://bsky.app/profile/spencer1984.bsky.social/post/3mt5po4lra224Getting the Dorothy barrel painted and detailed, down to the final details! #scalemodel #scalemodeling #modelkit #modelreview #jeep #honcho #dodge #ram #pickup #twister #twistermovie #theextreme #amt #amtmodelkits #amtertl #revell #revellmodel https://youtu.be/gOYOwzdB0Lg15 Aug 2026 22:24 +0000at://did:plc:6ehgl42inbbgu54juarpy4tx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt5po4lra224https://bsky.app/profile/spencer1984.bsky.social/post/3msyz2iojgs2aTrying another figure with a different approach to skin tones.

I used to have the Thrilling 30 figure, but Siege was good enough and different enough (especially next to Sandstorm) to replace it.
