If you’ve ever loved #bloodbowl, you’ll know who Pete Knifton is, from his artwork.
Sadly, Pete passed away last night. He was a funny, clever and immensely talented guy who always had time to chat. He’ll be very much missed.

Hope we get a Snarler from that Megatron

Transformers Timelines reveal at MCM, Bumblebee and Megatron

(yeah, that's right, you can blame me for everything you don't like in those books)

Hey look, I got a credit

If anyone with lots of money wants to buy me the Rescue Force Jet artwork, I would be very grateful (and question your motives)

Vectis Auctions had some original box (card) art on display at the Sandown Park toy fair, presumably they'll be in an upcoming auction.

I hope they release those Void Rivals figures separately at some point

That's just from the vid screenshot. Likely poor OCR by the KO makers, as they have similar issues on others.

Firelight on the Superion KO, Bommander on the Grimlock KO, for example

Haha, no, defo a KO. There are other tells. Main one is that it's a Defensor giftset, as it's the rarest US giftset and you're unlikely to see one, but some notes here:

FYI Nick @toyfu332.bsky.social
The g1 Defensor giftset in the vid is a KO, check the name on the techspec

It's not going to be the product you or I *exactly* want, but ultimately it makes the material available to an audience, which isn't a bad thing.

I don't really use social media these days, not avoiding mentioning anything, but I've been involved. Everything should be in the final product. Hachette files are being used, edits will be made to them.

It's the Hachette files

I'm finally happy enough to release these publically: reproduction Thunderclash labels, recreated by me using reference kindly provided by @sixotf.bsky.social.

Cheery Littlebottom - Une naine à longue barbe, portant des rubans dans sa barbe, une jupe en cuir et des bottes renforcées à talons.

Un groupe de personnage du disque-monde en train de jouer aux cartes. Il y a (de gauche à droite) Nounou Ogg, une vieille sorcière joviale en train de boire directement dans une bouteille de gnôle. À ses pieds il y a son chat Gredin, un vieux matou dépenaillé. Vient ensuite Rincevent, un mage malingre et osseux, qui porte une robe à étoiles et un chapeau sur lequel on peut lire "WIZZARD". En arrière-plan on voit Mustrum Ridcully, l'archichancelier, un mage imposant, à grosse barbe hirsute. Il porte un chapeau sur lequel son cousues de nombreuses poches, et dans lequel est planté un hameçon pour la pêche. Il y a à ses pieds le Bagage, un coffre vivant monté sur des dizaines de petites jambes, et son couvercle s'ouvre sur une rangée de grosses dents. Et enfin il y a le bibliothécaire, un petit orang-outan qui regarde son jeu tout en mâchonnant une carte.

La Garde de Nuit. De gauche à droite: Carotte, un grand soldat aux larges épaules, plutôt beau gosse, portant une épée dans le dos. Samuel Vimaire, le comissaire, un vieil homme un peu débraillé. Il porte une lourde cape, fume un cigarillo, et tient une arbalette. Chicard Chique (Nobby Nobbs) Un petit personnage difforme aux oreilles saillantes, en train de fumer une vilaine roulée. Sergent Côlon, un gros soldat mal rasé qui tient une lance.

Vimaire (un vieux soldat débraillé qui fume le cigarillo) passe à côté de Planteur Je-Me-Tranche-La-Gorge (un petit camelot verreux qui tien un plateau dans lequel il y a des saucisses dans des petits pains.)

The problem with getting them all is that I now want [need] the unreleased G2 bots...

Early Marvel UK comic corner boxes, a🧵

Octopus is the Italian name for the toy. It was also on the Biocombat packaging for regular Claw Jaw

They're straight lifts from the actual mottos, likely after Budiansky at that point

Which as a reminder, Bsky has had a sizeable korean and japanese population for ages, and unfortunately this setting could mean you're missing out on a lot of cool people. This is not a preference or what you post, this -limits- what languages you see! Set it to nothing!

I had so many creative awakenings watching films there. Foremost were screenings of PRISCILLA, AKIRA, MOONLIGHT & ARRIVAL. It’s a loved London institution.
