I view it as a pretty creative way of dealing with pegwarmers...instead of bitching about them.

the idea has been posed to some shapeways artists, (The retired Fakebusker for one)

I suggest a 2 pack and 5 pack of generic heads like these, seperated lightpiping and print in FUD/cast and sell kits.







add a couple guns/new feet or something and you have a good "Hive Drone Bot" to cure shelfwarming.

Or it just encourages them to make more.

and leaving the pegs full to rot with tuner mudflap and such will encourage more new molds to be put on those same pegs?


no, the retailer won't stock new toys it gets if nothing but shelfwarmers are occupying the pegs, look at RTS and the like, found at second hand discounters because the pegs were still full of skids, mudflap, and BEE.

That's right.
Stores don't order B's- they order cases that have B's in them.

Maybe BB would take to dye well? I tried Prime Wheeljack and he didn't take it much at all (none of the white did).
A lighter color like yellow would take dye pretty well. Also, it's an easier color to paint over.
