Thanks guys! I can't wait either to finish Bumblebee and Prowl. I'm just gonna hate seeing them go when they are finished. But thats ok I have plans to do a RTS Jazz, and Drift and possibly RTS Tracks later this year for myself.
Both of these are 1/32 scale for the deluxes. But wheelbase is the key when sizing them up sometimes...I'm looking at Drift right now and his wheelbase is longer than the other deluxe class figures. But with him either I will find a body that works and switch the heads or do some epoxy/styrene work and make it fit as is...

You know maybe a Skyline R33 or 34 will fit Drift instead of the S15.

Can't wait to get my grubby hands on Prowl.

It may, I am hoping that 1/32 arii Mazda Rx-7 body will work though I should have that shortly in hand to see...also I found a nice Corvette Z06 body to fit Tracks : )...I could never find the S15 body.
But you my friend have started something, and I like doing these reshells a lot!

I thought you were going for a 67 Vette for Tracks? Also, my local KMart actually has 1/32 kits, but they are mostly new models and some vintage classics. They are in the toy section.

I thought I was and may still do one...I just keep adding to my list LOL.
If you come across another Volkswagen Beetle body like the one on the current BB reshell let me know. I'd love to get my hands on another for myself ; )

might be a lot less stress to use the 206 WRC car given the body shapes unless you want a truly G1 line up

Very true, for my personal reshells I am not to worried about being 100% G1, but if a customer wanted G1 I'd go that route no doubt. And with these 1/32 scale kits sometime you have to work with what availible...they are a pain to find sometimes.

I think ultimately that's what were going for is a true G1 line up but some of those cars don't even exist in kit form, let alone in 1/32 scale. You never know, possibilities are endless when you start customizing
