Ramp it lynx

 

I don't know what bothers me more, shoes on carpet or that floor in general.

Poses are cool though.

 

picked up an extra starscream to replace the one holding skywarps shout face. my first starscream had hip and shoulder issues anyway so totally worth it   im a seeker fanatic 

 

Detachable Girth Panels for those Before and After Energon Diet photo shoots

 

Buy ‘em one of these:

 

Do Earthrise figures share SKU/item numbers at Wal-Mart? It says one that's about a half-hour away has Smokescreen. Has he been sighted at retail?

EDIT: Looks like someone in the sightings forum in Pennsylvania went for the same thing and his pick up order contained a Cliffjumper instead.

EDIT 2: Aaaaand the pick-up order was canceled. Glad I didn't get up!

To stay on topic, here's my Cliffjumper, who looks great with Netflix UM

 

This was mentioned earlier. They’re listing Wave 2 and 3 Deluxe figures erroneously in stock when it’s still (way) too early. Arcee’s listing got fixed but not all of them yet.

 

Wheeljack has always been a favourite of mine, but you've got to love that headsculpt on Exhaust.




Can't wait to see what Toyhax come up with for Exhaust!

 

Ugh. I don't know how people can stand to have dirty floors. It drives me crazy. When it comes to shoe etiquette, I think the Japanese have the right idea.

My mom was a rather fastidious housekeeper, and shoes were verboten past the little areas by the doors set aside for doffing footwear. I've maintained that mentality my whole life.

Back on topic, I recently gave my ER Prime a little makeover. My painting skills leave somewhat to be desired, so don't judge too harshly. The color I used for his legs was Tamiya TS-51 Racing Blue, which has a nice metallic sheen to it, and very closely matches the paint on Prime's hands. It's actually a smidge darker than Takara's paint, but close enough that the difference is moot. I used Testor's matte yellow acrylic paint for the triangles on Prime's arms, knees, and for his crotch. In hindsight, I wish I'd mixed it with a drop of white, as I think it would have probably been a match with the paint on his thighs. Alas, it went on really smoothly, and since I struggle with achieving smoothness by hand, and I'm the one who has to look at it, I left it as is. I painted the tail lights with Tamiya's X-27 clear red acrylic paint. I probably should have put a second coat on, but I wanted the factory silver paint that Takara applied there to show through for reflectivity. It's not as nice as having a clear plastic lens to put over it, but I think it looks better than just the plain silver. For the amber portion of his tail lights, I just used the matte yellow again. On the backs of Prime's legs, I painted the vents with a sliver paint (in hindsight, I wish I'd have used gunmetal instead- guess I still could), and then brushed it with black to highlight the recesses. It's more noticeable in hand. For Prime's maintenance droid/jetpack, I ended up painting the windshield portion twice. For my initial attempt, I mixed the Tamiya clear red and some Testor's gloss yellow to make an orange hue. Unfortunately, I accidentally nudged the canopy while the paint was still a little damp, and it left a crease that I just couldn't cover up. So, I wiped it off and mixed up another batch of orange, using Testor's gloss red and gloss yellow acrylics, applied by hand. The result is what you see. It's a little rougher than I'd like, and despite my best efforts, the paint still found its way into some of the recessed details, which I tried to clear with my knife. I wish the paint would lay down smoother and thinner, but it leaves too many brush marks, so I end up puddling and dragging the paint to achieve a somewhat smoother application. Still, it's nowhere near as nice as a spray job, and I may just have to either spray it (not looking forward to the masking that would entail), or just get the Toyhax labels and use those for the windscreen. I like the paint option better for its consistency, and let's face, applying decals is a royal PITA. I'm coming back to this post after having just done a little touch up with the Racing Blue to fix some areas I over or underpainted on the maint droid. In all honesty, looking at it in daylight a couple days after my initial paintjob, it's actually not too bad, for hand painting, that is. Given that it's not that essential to me, I may just leave it. Anyway, I thought I'd share some pics for anyone else who might be thinking of customizing their figure. Cheers!

 

Such a sexy beast!

 

As updates go, this they knocked outta the park. I've never been a fan of Sky Lynx, but this was done so well, I had to get one on PO. It just has so much presence.

 

My Skylynx arrived today and oh yes, that is one big spacechickencat! A great deco for the most part, good size but not overly monstrous. Yeah.. the wobbly legs on the bird section are a bit troublesome when you're trying to sit Optimus on his back. Easily a 9/10 Transformer. Easily.

 

Saw this on the shelf at Target today, lol.

 

Arcee doing her Faye Ray impression.

 

Looking good! Excited to see how it turns out with the feet you mentioned!
Another idea: bigger leg guards!

 

What ever happened to Faye ray. That delicate satin draped frame.

 

so uh; is this a COMMON issue with Grapple?!

 

Titans Return Grapple!
