    New Makeup Application Brushes are perfect for dusting the small irregular surfaces in Transformers toys.

    Also some detolf users put a piece of foam in the gap for substantial dust reduction.

    The WoN Metroid is meant to be the baby at the end of Super; they said their 4in & 6in figures were meant to be in scale w/ each other.

    Yeah, I used a small paintbrush when moving stuff recently - it's the quickest way to do the top surfaces of figures.

    Don't feel too much pity for Voodoo, as they've got a clear sale in me.

    And it isn't just the size of Ironhide's crotch area that gets me. I like the added details that are part of the Voodoo legs, as it seems more like something Hasui would come up with.

    What I mean by that, is that the legs aren't left plain like they are on the official. Additionally, part of the design incorporates a detail that looks like the stickers that were used on the original toy.

    Also, at least once (likely due to animation error), Ironhide did have a box at the bottom of his foot. So in my mind, he always had those windows, you just can't see them, because they're clear. Plus, I like the general shape of Voodoo's feet as well.

    While I prefer the smaller size of Voodoo's crotch, I admit I wouldn't mind if it looked a bit closer to the cartoon model. (In appearance only, not size.)

    The Ironhide head is a bit off, but they've already redesigned the Ratchet head & will doubtless have an improved Ironhide head eventually as well.

    To each their own, but the design aesthetics of the Voodoo get me, and unless Reprolabels or Nonnef does something amazing to the official Ironhide, I can't see myself ever getting it.

    (Voodoo thread for anyone looking for pics.)

    So did you guys not talk about FSS 4 Impactor because you forgot or can't due to your connection to TFW and their childish new policy?

    Good show as always

    I was more interested in the Platinum Dinobots story & nobody brought it up during New Pic Picks.

    "Childish" was pretty unnecessary. This subforum is more relaxed because people are usually chill in here, so please don't wreck that.
