    Man, this figure might as well been sold as a build kit. Turns out that over half the pictures I've seen that have made me consider buying Meteor have all been customized and/or "fixed" in some form or another.

    Dang! I was hopeful for something like this but didn't expect it to start actually taking shape. Freaking awesome! :D  This is going to be a nice little addition. Really appreciate your work.

    Definitely a matte finish. You need to post a Meteor along side the painted parts for a colour comparison.

    For the record, my not caring enough wasn't like, "Damn, Meteor is so bland! But jream's shin thrusters aren't cool enough!" It's actually "those shin thrusters jream made are pretty cool, and he matched the paint really well! Perhaps I should order some! Then again, the cartoon-accurate blue trapezoids don't really bother me and I'm kind of lazy, so I probably won't."

    I was toying with the idea of buying the shin vents for my incoming Meteor but would rather buy the vents and fans as a set. Is it too early to ask for an ETA?

    "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy; he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar?"

    Ooorr, was there some other caption I should be using?

    Now I want those turbine nipples!

    How can we contact Maketoys and give us an ETA on Skywarp, TC, and the cone heads?

    Glad I waited now. Give a price estimate for buying The Shins and Vents?

    I tried PM'ing the creator of the blue shin add-on parts with no response. Is he still an active member here?
