August 28, 2008 : Galvatron, he may just have stolen my heart

Dear Readers,

When I first came to DST Hasbro was the license I immediately “took over”, I think the first Ad I ever did was for a G.I. Joe bust. While I do (and I go out there on a dorky limb divulging this stuff with you) collect Joe’s as well as Star Wars it was the Transformers part of the Hasbro license that really excited me. I wish I had a back list of all the transformers I have done in the past two years or so, I would venture to say around 25-30 but my Math-foo is weak so that could just be a shot in the dark.

Back to the Transformer at hand. Galvatron, when he hit my desk I had to rub my eyes and think, who is this god of a transformer, after a second or two his name came to me. Now I usually think of the classics when I think Transformers you know, Optimus, megatron, Arcee, BumbleBee, Ratchet, Soundwave, you get the gist. But I had completely forgotten about Galvatron and his awesomeness. He has a big orange, shiny canon, I love guns! His base has the typical Unicron orange spiky goodness on it too, all in all he is just wonderful and I love him, a fine piece if I say so myself. So I would like to take a moment to step back and appreciate the greatness of Galvatron, he has truly stolen my heart this week!
