    The kits right now for preorder are casted in purple and orange. I just updated the original post with photos of how the final kits will look like out of package, and what kinda Galvatron look you can get with minimal painting. :)

    Of course. :) 

    However, I won't deny it doesn't improve the jet mode, that most people hate. :lol

    Can't wait.

    That cannon is awesome.

    Can you get away by using the helmet and not the new face, if you wanted? Or will the helmet not hold in place then?

    Sorry, you can't put the helmet with the old head or face. The new face is a separate piece, to help make it easier to paint. You do have to reuse the neck joint from the old head though.

    Ok gotcha -- I like the new face, was just curious.

    So basically you're replacing the head and chest altogether then? Just a matter of unscrewing the pieces then screwing them back in right? For the head I assume it's similar to the Goldbug head upgrades, where you just screwed it off and plopped the new one on.

    Thats correct. :)  The only difference with the head for galvatron and Goldbug kit, is that the neck joint for Megatron is inside his head. So once you unscrew it, you pull it apart, and pop out the joint. Then you put it between the Galvatron helmet pieces, and screw that together, then pop it into place.

    Awesome!

    My girlfriend is really getting into figure painting and has wanted to start customizing... this kit will be a good first step for her I think. The best part is I get an awesome Galvatron when she's done!

    Is the Dec 15th date accurate for when these will start heading out?

    I'd buy this if my skills customizing were worth a darn. I think if you are willing to repaint RiD Megatron as a whole this would work great for Galvatron. Photoshop a pic of him with the grey parts purple and the existing purple silver and he is practically there already.
