    yeah, i think i'll have to bust out something sharp to give this a try... i really dig sideswipe already, but making him cooler is a definite plus in my book...

    yes, lets make him make more! i want my sideswipe to be even cooler...

    That is an awesome custom; makes a "meh" toy into a fairly cool one :)

    Not sure about the doors... it involves more cutting, but I didn't bother because I thought the doors looked better swept back rather than forward anyway. I'm pretty sure the door mod is in one of the close-up photos on that page though...

    I don't see anything in the original photos that would require any further adjustment to the doors.

    I did note that when I transformed the doors on mine, to pull out on them a little. There is a small notch on the inside of the doors to allow for additional flexibility. I just check our resources and this isn't in the instructions, but it does seem like it was an intentional design.

    I can't get the doors angled forward like they are in the original pics for these mods. I think the kitbasher actually increased their range of motion a bit... probably just by removing a bit of plastic that would normally prevent that angle.

    Yup... I have them pulled all the way out (nearly gave me a heart attack the first time, because you have to tug them so hard!!). But even with the extra extension, they won't fold forward like they are in the modded pics. There's a bit of excess plastic on the door-arm that grinds against the chassis. You'd pretty much have to cut it down first in order to move the door-wings in that direction.

    Yeah, I felt the same way when I was fiddling with the arms. I'll take another look at them here soon. :)

    This is already available in the Philippines. The Mikaela figure is smaller than the one that came with the HA Skids, it has different paint apps. I think they purposely did this so the figure would fit inside the car better, like the Sam that comes with the HTFD HA Bumblebee.
