    One final look back at this guy before the shiny new big one comes out.

    Mods I did:

    -Trimmed jawline and some inner tabs to allow more neck/head movement.
    -Flipped back feet to be more “chicken legged”.
    -Flipped tail wings to face right way.
    -Flipped blue portion of wing to face right way.
    -Covered up holes on bottom of wings.
    -Added some Reprolabels decals.

    These modification not only enhanced the 2 standard modes, but also make two other modes, bird/chicken (depending how you expand the wings) and Lynx/Griffin (again depending how you expand the wings).

    Still think this guy makes a great “small scale” Skylynx for your legends figures.

    Nice.

    I forget what mods I did with mine(both Tak and Hasbro). But I do know I rigged the Lynx heads so they could look up, which helps with making a lynx mode.

    Just the wing tailfins and feet changes make a lot of difference

    I did the same foot mod. It makes such a difference.

    What did you do to the neck? And a balljoint? These were all quick/simple mods, but I wouldn’t be against a more involved mod.

    What are you going to do with this version after the "proper" version comes out soon?

    I remember hollowing out something and adding a hinge. I can dig it out later and show the pix if you want

    I really find the CW Skylinx to be a fun and interesting figure. The mods here take it up a notch, so good job!

    It’s still a fun little figure to play around with (surely easier than the big guy will be), especially with smaller TFs or HoC mini-figs. Or I sell it, only time will tell. :)

    It’s like he’s got 6 modes! (shuttle, bird, griffin, bot 1, bot 2, and skylynx! [7 if you count the swan]) ;)  Watch out SixShot! :D
