    Yes. Either the Mexican or the Euro would be cool.

    Doesn't a member here do chrome spray painting or something of the like? Bombatron I think his name is? If so, you could always have him do that and then paint over it with translucent colored paints.

    The red/yellow Rubiplas is the only one that I'm aware of as well. My red/yellow Huffer is a Lynsa.

    Awesome stuff Justin!

    Heres the Greek ElGreco double error Huffer I got a couple weeks ago. Double error because its on the Brawn Card, plus it has no factory applied stickers.

    And some shots of my Windcharger variants.

    I'm really curious about this one, it doesn't have the typical Malignus sticker, or the early sticker. It has the head off the SA Trans Formers packaging. I got it directly from a buddy in Brazil who believes the guy he got it from is the original owner, and it has not been altered. If so, its the first I've ever seen, but if its a legit variant, who knows.

    Well there are color variants, like the purple Seaspray. And I've seen a Less Gold Bumblebee, but I don't yet own one.

    Great stuff Steve! I wish that there were Brazilian variants of Huffer. I always like seeing the Brazilian minibots. Nice El Greco Huffer too!

    Yeah, its odd that they left out ol' Huffer from their minibot lineup. Would have been really cool to see what odd colors they would have come in.

    Yup, its a dairycon exclusive called Crackup, Not many were made, and this was the first one I have seen for sale. I think I paid around $120 or so, cant really remember.

    As far as the blue BB, the one in the first row is a Mexican IGA, the one in the last row is a blue KO. The Japanese blue BB is a lighter blue than those two.

    Brr-icy, I was woefully unaware of the Bumblebee with the cartoon accurate head.

    The dark background and glossy black surface in your pics look great. Is that a photo box or what? Gorgeous pics, liked the G2 ones especially.
