    I've done it too often, I think. :)  I've recently been building a small Microman collection, though, for reasons which will likely become apparent in the next few weeks.

    No not really. I could copy parts, but not without air bubbles. I do like to restore figures though. If that means rebuilding some parts out of sculpy or some filler I don't mind the hard work.

    ^:lol  yup, somehow I will always want to get something important that I've missed out on. That doesn't always happen, mind you- but when there is a too good of an offer to pass up like mint, loose figures I will try to get them. Granted thank goodness that I dont always give in into buying them. :lol

    Fascinating, very cool.

    I like the Deluxe Insecticons, but I always hated how Chop Shop and Ransack didn't even have the articulation to raise their arms. What's the point of giving them a gun if they can't point it anywhere but at the ground?

    G1-mold. So I guess that still counts.

    [Beast Wars Japanese] God Neptune 01-1 by unem13, on Flickr

    My 3rd God Neptune to date. The previous ones were not in very good condition. Gave the first one away FOC. Was trying to sell him off but decided to just give him away when someone asked about it. That probably made his day.

    God Neptune is fantastic! The colors it uses are stunning. And the fact that they are space pirates does work for them too.... Awesome photo.

    That means I can repost this. :)

    I really love this mold, I only also have the BBTS reissue. Individual bot and alt modes are very fun. I'd get the Masterforce set if I see a boxed specimen at a good price.

    I have a couple of extra complete God Neptune replolabel sets. $10 shipped if you guys are interested, they're $14 before shipping at RL. The set has alternative Decepticon logos, I just chose the Predacon ones.

    I'm still thinking if I should reprolabel God Neptune. Got the stickers a year ago.

    Thanks guys, I'll post the bot mode pics for the people that don't read my blog.

    Beautiful pic UN.

    If the labels are in good shape, I don't bother, but when they're all worn, I don't see the point in keeping them like that, it just makes the figure look worse. In some cases (Hound for example) the kid who owned it had never applied them, and lost the labels, looked too nekkid for me. Wheeljack's are his original labels, I have a set of reprolabels here for him, but his originals were partly used, figured it didn't really add anything to his worth keeping it "partially used"
