    These things are great! Finally had a chance to finish these puppies up and take some pics. I'll have a post up in Radicons in a day or two. I have a custom cannon so I didn't use the ingenious right hand adapter, but it is very cool.

    Edit pics not working will try again later sorry

    That's high praise, thanks FB! The yellow is games workshop golden yellow & it's almost an exact match for movie bee.
    I love 'em, they are the perfect finishing touch to him & helped get me off my tail & finish the rest of him up as well! I'm going to give you big ups when I get around to posting him in his own thread, but wanted to put it here first.

    I've got mine painted and added! These are wonderful! They have me highly considering getting other hands!
    My Human Alliance Bumblebee with Fakebusker hands

    Just one minor, minor note: In vehicle mode, the right hand kind of gets in the way of the missile being stored underneath. The hinge for the hand to flip over is in the way. However, the missile can still easily be put in there and stays really well. It just sticks out the side a little bit...

    I was thinking, Fakebusker, if you're interested, maybe you could make Bee some new feet that have toes that will flip out of the way for vehicle mode...

    I just ordered this set plus someone else's Heavytread mine plow kit. I wish I would have ordered that sooner because that would be awesome with the upcoming Iron Army limbs! I am really looking forward to the hands too. I just couldn't force myself to cannibalize a second HA BB despite the shelf warming. It really is a great figure overall.

    Thanks! And yeah, it would be cool to have feet that would be unseen in car mode but still able to support Bee in robot mode...

    Just so you know, FB is on a psuedo-hiatus and won't be taking any requests for some time.
