    Hey, nothing wrong with that. Besides, if you do them all and eventually run out, and...er, you spontaneously decide to make the rounds again and make doubles...um, and you happen to make a new Optimus that you don't really need...

    ...yeah, pm me. I'd have a great home for it and stuff. Yeah...

    :lol  Heh, kidding. (mostly)

    Seriously, I can't get enough of these. Please keep going for as long as you feel the need to. We certainly won't complain. :)

    I don't suppose it would be possible to get a group shot of all the ones you have done this way would it? I think they are absolutely amazing.

    Just amazing.
    I've loved every one you've done so far & cant wait to see more.
    This is how 25th Anniversary prime should have looked.

    I've been waiting to see this from you every since I saw your articulated Jazz, and man is he great. I especially like this picture.

    It's like, "Hey man, show some life will ya," or "what....you can't do this?" Again, great job on these G1ers.

    What materials do you use to construct the joints? Do you build/sculpt news ones, or take from another toy line?

    As for hands if you have a KO Alt Sideswipe (or any form of that mold) those hands work great. Just pop them out and cut the ball off the wrists and they fit in perfectly, and are roughly the same size. Can't hold his gun worth a damn though.

    Amazing work. These are what classics should have been. This treatment might not look so hot on toys like G1 Iron hide or Megatron though.

    Any chance of a group shot with all the updated Autobots you've done?

    www.hlj.com sells 1/100 gundam manipulators so you don't have to destroy a good figure just to get hands. kotobukiya has its own line too.

    how come you never post photos of the actual joints themselves? it'd be great to find out how you did them. or is it a secret?
