    looking good!! I think you have all of the characters right? I don’t have a complete set of those sizes but a few.
    if you ask me, all of the sizes of TFP figure are great!

    I think it's funny that there were two different versions of the Ultra Magnus figure made. Both in the larger scale and the Cyberverse scale. I have the mostly blue one in both forms. The only thing that sucks is that I don't have a decent Forge of Souls Prime hammer to go with him. But the one that came with the voyager figure is so small.

    Yeah just the show characters. I had Ironhide in hand a long time ago, and didn't feel much for him. If they didn't appear in the show or in the movie etc, I don't really see the need to get them. I do have the full cyberverse Abominus set I got from a whole lot of cyberverse figures but sadly I don't have room on the shelf for them.

    I'm going back and buying the Prime cast (a very expensive endeavour so far) and god damn I'm considering buying a 300 dollar Breakdown

    It sucks because I do have him, but unfortunately I got him in a 'I have to paint everything' phase back when he was revaled to not be released in the us (2013 I believe?) and now he's ruined

    You can always try to carefully remove the paint. I dipped parts of my custom figure in a cup of simple green industrial cleaner and all the acrylic paints I applied cleared right off. How bad is it?

    One of my favorite TFP figures because of the cool engineering! Brawn edition! I have the original BD one and the black Last Knight repaint too!

    Head to toe repaint. Also painted his eyepatch on so any chemicals will probably take the paint off his face too

    Depends. I've been able to use paint thinner to remove enamel from painted surfaces without damaging the paint underneath. You just gotta have some finesse.

    Cheap 50 cent Walmart acrylic

    Which gives me hope that it can come off easily

    That should come off easily. It doesn't already chip off?

    If you're daring and want to save hours of scrubbing off the paint, you can try this industrial cleaner called simple green. They come in gallons. I would take apart the figure as much as can be done, and put them in like a plastic Tupperware container and fill it with that green stuff it's completely submerged and leave it for about an hour. It should loosen the acrylic paint and it'll come off super easy. I did that with a custom I hated, and all the acrylic layers I applied just fell right off instead of me having to scrub hard with acrylic thinner. Not sure if this affects the factory paints tho.
