    I fully re-painted my Challenger, also with coats and coats of emanel. That keeps the paint "forever" protected. Sorry for the shitty quality of the picture, I don't know why looses a lot of resolution when I upload pictures here.

    The team-up that was teased but never seen on screen! These two look amazing together:

    Sorry to double post but holy shit I did it! I finally took the plunge and decided to try modding that ugly elbow gap on challenger. I have a heavy custom Destroyer so I figured it was a low risk to try it. And it worked! It was hard, and involved taking apart most of the arm and basically making a new joint, but it was worth it! Only thing is on challenger the joint will look ugly from the front but I think it’ll be worth it. I might actually make a radicons thread for this one. I’m proud of it hehe.

    If that is the new head then it certainly changes the overall look of the figure!

    Please do!

    I found Unique Toys Challenger on Ebay. But I just want to ask before I jump the gun. Is it safe to order from Ebay? Is it also safe to order from China?

    Depends on what you mean. If you're referring to coronavirus, yes it's safe. It doesn't travel on or in packages that long. If you're referring to whether or not you'll actually get what you paid for instead of being scammed, it depends on the seller. If they have a few thousand reviews and like 99.9% good reviews then chances are you're solid. There's also a thread somewhere around here with a list of reliable eBay sellers

    Yeah I was referring to the Coronavirus, sorry I should've been a bit more specific. The reviews I saw were only 3 and they're all positive reviews.

    You may want to check the thread I talked about earlier to see if their name is there (I'll see if I can find it and link it), or see if you can find another seller for the same price but with more reviews. It's pretty easy to fake 3 reviews, and wouldn't want to fall for a scam that expensive

    Edit: China Ebay Seller Check - New-comers READ FIRST POST!!

    Thank you! And yes, that's the new head. It makes him feel like a whole new figure. I've had this figure for a year and a half and he's still maybe my favorite transformer ever. Here is a pic with the elbow mod completed on challenger!

    If the seller has a good reputation. Then I think no need to worry. But always be careful, keep checking for their reputations so you won't be disappointed

    Hey, I recently ordered Challenger from this dude on eBay. I trusted him because he had 99.99% positive reviews, but it's been over a month and the only thing I got was a tracking number that doesn't even work. The estimate still says June 10th, but I'm still worried, considering that he somehow jumped down to 82% only in the last month. Any tips? I was really looking forward to this guy too. :(
