    ***UPDATE***
    Paypal payments sent as friends/family for US based customers. If sending paypal payment as goods/services, please add 7% to the total for all fees.


    Here are the newly created vents for Maketoys Meteor. These are made with resin then color matched painted to the blue. They are sized pretty much to the exact footprint area currently on the leg and below where the landing gear would sit. The bottom surface of the vent is contoured to follow the leg for a fairly seamless attachment point.

    Installation is up to you. There are three methods I suggest. Temporary, semi-permanent, and permanent.
    Temporary can be achieved simply using stick tack.
    Semi-permanent is achieved with a tiny dot of hot glue.
    Permanent would be with a little gel superglue.
    Your call which you prefer to use.

    Price is $9.50 for 2 vents shipped with tracking.
    Payment made to [email protected] via friends/family or add 7% for fees
    International shipping please contact me

    Any questions, feel free to ask.

    How does this effect transformation? I assume not at all?

    Gonna have to do this. This looks so much better and I would imagine that the next seeker releases will have these since they've shown the conehead seeker prototypes with the vents.

    When toon-accurate goes too far, we need fourth-party suppliers to step in... :D 

    But yeah, figure looks twice as good now, seriously.

    Don’t have meteor, but damn that’s a great upgrade. I’ve said it over and over, but your designs get better every time.
