    Really low angles, that's your best best. Try to get the center of your camera lense about the height a human's head would be. Using more common objects for a sense of scale, like other vehicles, tiny human figurines, or model buildings. And last but not least, you can have the characters clip out of the side of the shot, or get really close to it, this gives the subconscious sense of "this character is too big to even fit in the frame"

    Woah, I knew the figure had a tiny Peter Cullen but I didn't know there was even an opening door, much less a gimmick to make Cowboy Cullen disappear. Anyone have a video or clip of this gimmick?

    We can hope for SS to do him, maybe as a Universal Studios exclusive to replace the old Evac. Their Transformers exclusives are so long in need of an update it’s like Transformers to them ended in DOTM. Oh wait. Last time I went to Universal in Singapore was in 2016. I remember back then besides Evac, they were also still selling DOTM Bee and Prime in those *Universal exclusive* red boxes.

    I found it weird that Hasbro was still producing toys that’ve been off shelves for 5 years for an amusement park, then again I also haven’t been back to USS in almost that same amount of time so things might’ve changed.

    He’s awesome. Looks great with the mpm bots, fun transformation and super poseable. Has tons of character even in the smaller size. Highly recommend.

    I heard that apparently Universal is no longer selling Evac, so that might mean there'll be a Studio Series Evac coming retooled from Roadbuster, (given that he's already a shellformer and they share most of their body anyway) once again a Universal Studios exclusive. I'm hoping so, since I missed out on the original. We can hope.

    Go to Michael's. They have color shifting paint that would work perfectly that doesn't cost much and comes in a small size.

    He's fantastic. I recommend him.

    Echoing other replies- he's great. Solid quality, tons of personality, very screen accurate non both modes.

    When I was a kid, one of my holy grail was 07 Movie Deluxe Longarm which I never managed to got back then...

    But now, I finally got this figure thanks to my local flea-market; The once holy grail of mine is now a figure that I actually owned.

    Yep! She's pretty cool, a bit fiddly with her back kibble and her head falls back too easily. Overall the jet mode is pleasing and her bot mode has great proportions and details.

    Awesome shots! Yeah I'd be so down for that, but since you have that HA figure already, just paint his hair brown. Then boom you have a decent Lennox. I have that one too, but I really wish I still had Sam, Mikaela and Epps.
    Any brave souls wanna go back to post #18108353 and throw it two more likes??
    Haha that was your son? That was funny!
    Oooh, YOU ;)  BY THE WAY, I was looking at Prime1 studio's new Optimus anniversary statue they're releasing, and they're known for being VERY ACCURATE, yes? WELL BOOM, PEEP THIS:

    Yeah that's definitely iridescent. If you're not happy with the red you did then a little bit of orange to highlight some areas would look cool, but you'd have to be really subtle about it, like a drybrush or airbrush.
    As others have said, he's a really good figure. I'd recommend him to anyone who wants that character.
    Imagine if Megatron had worn the fallen's dead body then he and prime could have had a corpse-costume dance-off or something.

    That's a great figure, congrats! Watch for the pivot for the tow hook, it's fragile.

    Uh the visor in the pic is down. Also I don't think Stinger has a regular face, I'm pretty sure his "visor" is just his base look

    Got him. Love him. He's a smidge shorter than tlk barricade so he's good for me with the tlk crew, but too big for those who want scale unless he goes with mpm.

    It's amazing how well he scales with Studio Series. Would he be considered a voyagers class these days though?
