All in good fun!  

 

That isn’t a seeker. She’s one of the components of Megatronia. Also, she turns into a helicopter.

 

Good ol' floor polish did the trick.

Here's the Mean Green with Generations Arcee which arrived yesterday by mail.

 

Is the one dyed and the other painted? If so you can play more with the dye than the paint as the paint flakes off over time. My kids really like the dye but two tone on a single limb is pretty impressive haven't tried that though we have talked about it. Good job either way

 

Yes is the correct answer.

 

Lunaclub: The Tina Belcher of Transformers.

 

the one on the left

 

Oh shit

 

I would respectfully suggest “POOM” for a tank cannon sound.

 

Looks like the DNA Design kits for Ultra Magnus and Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime are finally ready and should be shipping to e-tailers soon:
DNA Design

Longer legs and hammer weapon. GUOP also gets gap fillers.

 

If anyone buys either of these sets and doesn’t want the hammer, let me know.

 

I did not mean to suggest pins and parts would stop anyone who *knew* what they were doing.

If you are not a customizer (such as me) its easy to pull of a ball joint, or swap a part. Even a kid could do it (with help) - pins etc though is a much more involved task, requires skill rather than guess work and you need the right tools - and even then you can still break the toy fairly easily.

So my point was its not a simple "swap from parts" in stuff with pins, its a fair amount of work - compared to the plain ball jointed stuff or typical 6" action figure where you can do limb and head swaps etc.

I hope that makes more sense  

 

Yeah it did but I understood what you were saying initially cuz while I am a customizer, I’m not skilled enough for pins. I was just talking that maybe someone more skilled than myself. Didn’t mean to come off any type of way that would be negative.

 

i like the one with the fading better.

 

The orange paint on the left looks uneven.

 

Entertainment Earth had quite a few restocks today, including Nightbird, Zetar, and Smokescreen (all at MSRP).

 

Do you have more info on this please?

 

They're both dyed, but the one on the left is orange paint. The two-tone is an absolute pain. If anyone tries this, or just dye in general, get orange and not tangerine. It's utterly useless. It basically made the white plastic look sunfaded...
And thanks!

Is it, though? Is it...?

I do prefer the brightness on him.

I've done some work on that one since, so the fading is more or less gone.  

Orange is awful. Just utterly awful.

Here's the latest update:

 

I've heard tell that yellow and orange are the two worst colors to try and get opaque/complete/even coverage when painting. Good on you to come out swinging and trying! I think two-tone dye will look best once you get the hang of it. I'm thinking of trying it on a couple guys.

I just picked up another Aimless tonight to try dying the arms blue to give to Hairsplitter/Shrute. Is there a blue you've come across that you could recommend?

 

This makes me REALLY wish they had given us at least one version of each mold with light gray arms/legs, and another version of the same mold with a light gray torso. That way you could mix and match and dye to whatever color you wanted. It would have been the keys to the castle to make Battlemasters SO much more versatile and make whatever TM you wanted...
Although now that I think about it. I guess Firedrive is the only mold that they didn't make a light gray torso version... Maybe in Earthrise?

BTW - who are you going for reproducing?
