It is a shame.. I really love this version of him.
I am planning a custom of him but he needs to remain in one piece for that to work..

 

Me neither, though I’m positive he’ll crack in a few years like my Animated Swindle  

 

Yeah, that my only concern with barry. I'm super afraid to touch him since he looks super fragile with all that clear plastic. I like him, but he's not a figure I feel comfortable playing around with... Doesn't feel like one that'll last the test of time unfortunately

 

Wow i received this guy and hes quite loose...almost returned him but i could not stop myself from painting! Overall i had fun painting this guy. ..

 

And hopefully as a Voyager, though I can live with him being a Leader if the jet demands it. I still need to see better pictures to get a rough idea on how big the jet will be if you proportionally shrink MPM 08 to SS scale.

 

All my painted SS Figs

 

This guy might be my first movie MP, looks great and in size with studio series  

 

Oh my! But I'm still gonna get her.

Yikes! I gotta be careful when I handle this guy. Gonna get him in a week or 2 soon.

Awesome custom!

All you need is Bee and its complete! Great work!

Below is an edit I made for Lockdown. Solid figure but has some QC issues and a frustrating transformation.

 

Don't worry, it's happening.  

Right now I have him on pre-order, apparently he'll come in 1-2 weeks. I'll contact you if there is a problem. Thanks for the offer!

 

Anyone know if the $50-60 LC Sentinel Primes on eBay are KOs or not? I’m guessing KOs but I hope not cause I prefer to spend less than $80 CAD on him

 

Love the work on Ratchet, I regret screwing up mine by painting too much silver and not leaving any green on the face as I was trying to recreate the simple but accurate face paint SS DOTM had

 

So that’s where I saw her headsculpt before...

 

Thank you very much appreciate your help. I that they look good together

 

Are her pieces just loose?

 

They don't, I live in an area with the worst distribution possible. It's why I've given up on store hunting.

But every site I check either has Optimus mysteriously missing, sold out, or scalper price.

 

Ah dang, that sucks  

Though from what I can see, Amazon and bbts have him up on preorder, so if you're in the US maybe order them from there?

Honestly, I really like him as well. The head on mine was like glued until it broke free somehow. I guess I constantly tried to turn the head so many times that it just suddenly agreed to turn. Now, he's perfect and I love him. Wish I could say the same for Shatter...

That's very interesting. I'll check my Barricade this weekend to see if he has that issue. Sorry to hear that, bud.

It better. I'm anticipating for Dino, Megatron 2007, Sentinel, Soundwave, Wreckers, and Shockwave as of currently.

On mine, her right arm doesn't stay in well. It's pretty loose on there and pops way too easily. I'm honestly disappointed with her and I haven't been so disappointed with Studio Series ever. I wish Hasbro does make a jet mode that is superior because I'm likely gonna leave Shatter in car mode once her jet mode is revealed. Poor girl deserved better.

 

what are you using for the smoke job windows? Anything Alcohol base will destroy clear plastic. I'm sure you know that before hand, but I had to ask anyway. I completely blackout windows with Gundam markers and they havent cracked at all. That sucks big time btw, its why I hate clear plastic to begin with. Lost an Energon starscream(his upper arms and elbow are clear plastic) and Prime RID Powerizer(?) Voyager Optimus prime, and a tab on Power of The Primes Jazz torso shattering. Its the new GPS epidemic.
