    I did the same mod. I bought metal dowel pins from amazon. 1mm I think? And I used a pen vise to drill a mini hole straight through the hinge and the pin was a perfect size. I have an entire mini box full of 100s of these pins and can send you some.

    CAD model Roadbuster obviously looks better in the paint department but I don't care. The physical toy still looks amazing!!! I'm gonna buy 2. Without a doubt.

    Give it overnight. There is a Convention in Germany. They may reveal what we saw today, and who knows.

    Sweet, thanks for the offer. I’ll PM you once I get Bee to do this. Have to check if I have a drill bit small enough to drill out a space for it to fit. Pretty sure I do

    Not confirmed afaik.


    Also, jet mode on Shatter is beautiful. I need it

    Thinking about creating an Instagram pictorial review page for Studio series figures. Would anyone be willing to support?

    Wow Shatter is a work of art. Hopefully the guns can also mount on the sides of her arms this time too, since I'd prefer them that way.

    I can't tell if Jeep Bee's gun is supposed to be hand held or integrated, as it sticks way too far off his hand in this render. Curious if he'll come with other accessories. Mold looks great, but I'd have to agree with this:
    Jeep Bee is smoother and blockier than most movieverse designs, but I think the main issue is the color. The movieverse style (and its following toys) tends to use a lot of gray and silver to represent metal. From the render Jeep Bee uses plain black where there'd be gray, putting it more on the toyetic side. It looks inaccurate and also makes the head (the only silver so far) stand out a lot. Colors have changed between the first renders and the final product before, so hopefully it does here too.

    Not sure why the designers want to swap out gray parts with black like this. They did it with the previous SS Bees to lesser degrees, and based on the insta images, Roadbuster might get hit with this as well.

    was not expecting this to end up with a little rant whoops.
