    Me either. Mine is viewed face on in the detolf so a non-issue for me. Even when viewed side on it doesn't really bother me.

    I just found some of those sticky labels, so I tried it out for shits and giggles. Not too bad really. Works better on Nemesis as the sliding piece inside the leg is also black, whereas it's silver on Optimus. Colours are not an exact match, but they're okay at a casual glance.

    My head has finally arrived yesterday, I just have a problem with the old head, the screw won't go further than that and I don't want to force and, well, screw it up IMG_20190820_205326.jpg IMG_20190820_112648.jpg

    Just use acrylic tamiya or mr hobby lacquer paint to airbrush and mask the other parts. It mostly adding white to grey paint to get color close enough to the existing color. Use white base coat to get better color.

    That's something I'd be interested in doing as well. But I'd be afraid of jacking it up. But it's a definite improvement. Nice work.

    Does the TE Nemesis and SG come with the V2 head or only the OG?

    Thanks! I don’t usually go through this thread, so I didn’t really see it. I guess I wasn’t thorough enough looking through the thread.

    Anywho, are there any pictures of the nemesis prime with the v2 head?

    Finally got him. Awesome figure! Though the thigh rotation is quite a big let down. And I had some QC issues with sprue marks. Anyone have any idea how to mask these with paint or something? Red and blue.

    A layer of Mr Hobby clear topcoat should sort that out for you.

    Has anybody else notice that the MS Prime has no biceps?

    It's just forearms, elbow, and shoulders? I was rewatching Emgo's review and just noticed.
