Articulated G1 Ratchet & Ironhide

Hi all. Its been a while since I posted anything, but these have been in the works for some time, and I finally got around to finishing them. Those who remember my work know that I have been working on articulating every 84'-85' autobot car, and although I havent finished them all, I have finally finished all the molds. I just have a few mold repaints like Inferno, Prowl, Sideswipe, etc...

These started out as encore reissues, and the head kit. Their shoulders got balljoints, and were reworked so they sit correctly. They also have balljoint hips, head, and have pivoting elbows and knees. The head kits were reworked not only for balljoints, but I added styrene to the back to give them some depth. I also reworked the seat they mount to, so they dont need to be removed to transform.

yeah, I moved up the crotch section and thought about filling the hole with a black plug because it doesnt line up perfect, but I want all my G1 customs to look like original G1 toys, with minimal custom paint apps, or cosmetic alterations, the originals have holes, so im not gong to change that.

these look great, there's very little impact on the alt modes

Turboedguy, you do a great service to to all G1 Tfs. Freeing them from their blocky static selves. And giving them articulation.
You turned the most ugly Tf, Ratchet/Ironhide into something that everyone wants. That is a great feat in itself.
