Hey there, Thea Puppydear
Truth
Alice, a white woman with curly gray hair and red glasses, wearing a black rouched top and a pair of red and black color blocked jeans, bends over looking down upon you the viewer with a wry smile on her face.
Hey down there.
Dead World Building, the new album from How I Became Invisible, is OUT TODAY!
@emdashreed.bsky.social wrote something so different in tone from her last album. Darker, of the moment, but never once stops being her voice. It's a Bandcamp Friday must!

Can you believe I used that picture on dating site profiles?
Good gosh!
I love using that pre-transition photo because it is a perfect encapsulation of how drunk I was at all times between 2007 and 2015, and the other is almost 5 years sober and 4 years into Alice.
Relate? Always.
Reactivating briefly to inform you the new How I Became Invisible album by @emdashreed.bsky.social, Dead World Building, drops on Bandcamp Friday tomorrow.
There are 2 copies of the vinyl/poetry book bundle pre-orders left. Get yours while it lasts!

The book is a gift that you all should be chomping at the bit to have. Emi's poetry is an extension of her song writing. The two regularly bleed over.
If you aren't fortunate to see her read it live in Philly, getting this book is the next best thing.
And, the art by @ghostsandall.bsky.social? ๐ค

This is my first shot with any iteration of it, and, yes, yes, yes, to all of this.
Big fan and I want Red Alert, et all in the collection soon.

Alice's Trans on Trans ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ Review and Rating: Studio Series #Transformers Devastation Sideswipe.
Robot mode: 8
Alt mode: 10
Hand feel: 6
Conversion: 9 (minus 1 for the bit that broke)
Overall Rating: 8.25
People bemoan mold reuse. For someone like me, who didn't start collecting until 3 years ago, getting a shot at these older figures, in a style that looks like they stepped out of the TV show, I'll never complain about that.
This makes me want to track down Red Alert, Tigertrack, and Deep Cover.
And PINNED WHEELS!
This babies spin. Glad they keep that when they very clearly didn't have too.
The underside of Sideswipe transformed. Marvel at how clean it looks.
Look at the tidiness of this under carriage!
Excellent engineering.
Sideswipe's alt-mode is a Lamborghini Countach LP500S.
As a girl who grew up in the 1980s, this was *the* car to covet. The epitome of luxury, fast af cars. As soon as it was transformed, I was rolling it around my desk, making vroom-vroom, peeling out car noises.
One thing I have noticed with often used mold is how the plastic changes over time. All my Siege-era figures are sturdy and can withstand the conversion process.
The plastic on Sideswipe feels... not cheap, but lesser than what I would expect. Right away, a bit crumbled with very little resistance.
On to the conversion.
This. Is. So. Much. Fun!
I did not have to follow the guide at all. I could easily see where and how parts flipped and folded. Sideswipe is *incredibly* compact.
It's all so neat and tidy.
My biggest problem is how wide the figure is.
It does not lend itself to a lot of poseability, as the hood/chest locks off the head and the arms. All my pictures have to be top down. Anything lower, well, you can see anything over the chest.
Sideswipe's head sculpt is a 10 out of 10. There's so much life and personality and texture to the face.
Right off the bat, I love this.
I can see right away the shininess of this figure. This has the cel-shading that all the Transformers had in the game, and this looks great. The clear window never looked good to me, so getting these painted make the Studio Series bots look so clean.
Transformers Studio Series Devastation Sideswipe removed from the box, but still attached to the insert.
In the box, the usual for a Deluxe. The figure and a tissue-wrapped set of blasters and shoulder cannon.

It's Trans on Trans Thursday! ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
Today, I'm looking at what is considered to be an ancient mold that's been repurposed too many times, but for me, it's the first chance I've had to pick up any color palette version of this Transformer.
I'm talking Studio Series #Transformers Devastation Sideswipe!
Don't worry: I'm going clothes shopping this weekend. ๐คโค๏ธ
