    Once again excellent job! Cant wait to order a set when its ready!!

    For my personal KO figure, I shaved off and filled in the peg holes. Ive always like the idea of my figures having a separate weapons cache. I don't think there is really need to attached all his weapons on him at once. So I agree with the FB comment. I think it makes the figure have cleaner lines.

    Bravo, sir...this takes a decent figure and elevates it to pure awesome---and those torso pieces are the icing on the cake, putting the finishing touches needed for this sculpt. Thank you for taking the time to follow through on this project--my mouse will be patiently hovering over the 'add to cart' button!

    This is amazing. The only thing that concerns me is the price.

    Personally I like the 5mm ports, but moving them slightly wouldn't hurt. This plus the Reprolabels set (whenever that comes out) will make Knock Out my favorite PRID figure of all time.

    This is 100% bought from me, no questions asked. You make excellent work, and with AM Knockout coming in August, this will be amazing for me to add it on! Looks great so far.

    From his Shapeways store I'm guessing but I've never bought anything off shapeways. This'll probably be my first :) 

    And looking at the other items on the store.... it's looking like this set will be around USD12. Is that about right?

    Another question: Where can I find a guide to the pros/cons of each material? I saw it one time but I can't find it again :/

    And another question (sorry): Will the shoulder bits be more stationary than the stock ones? Or does that depend on the material?

    Have you thought about a detachable chest piece to make it look more like the show? It could clip onto the hood.

    Gah I love looking at these pictures so much I keep thinking of more questions.

    Do you think you could post a picture of his arm opened up with one of the weapons in? I've been trying to mimic a "transformed" weapon with a crapton of different things and I can't figure out how you positioned the hand to hold it.

    Can't wait to see someone repaint both Knockout and these weapons... sure he'll enjoy the paint job and pampering... haha.

    Great stuff dude... can't wait to see them finished... BTW, what material would you eventually recommend these in?
