    The colour looks terrific!

    The finish totally has that pulsating energy look.

    Well done!

    Hey, I've shipped all the orders on Monday. I messaged you on Ebay about how (probably due to covid short staffing) the tracking isn't updating properly.
    I'll keep an eye on the tracking and keep y'all updated, but as it stands I've shipped them all!

    Now, I feel like I need to mention this. I got two axes for the purpose of dual wielding, but i unfortunatly dropped one of the axes and it broke in half (I have hard wood floors btw). Also, the one intact axe is very loose and I don't know what I can do to tighten it without breaking it too.

    Overall, I am happy that something like this exsists in the world and I might buy a new set to replace the broken/loose axe.

    good to hear it shipped! I sent all of these at the same time so the other ones must be going to their destinations too!
    Oh no! Sorry to hear that it broke. Hmm they really didn’t seem that brittle when I was handling them. I sent an extra peg to everyone. Maybe the looseness will go away if you swap it out! Ill gladly send replacements! I have a few lying around. :)  no need for another purchase.
    Everyone should have the right to do this pose.

    ill take you all on!

    This man is a legend. I wasn’t expecting it today. But this morning it updated and appeared at my door, WITH TWO AXES AND 3 REPLACEMENT HANDLES LIKE WTHHHHHHH. AND AXE STORAGE. I’m impressed as hell. I’m so happy too, ordering the siege megatron chain from shockwave labs now, it would look amazing with this. I’ll show more pics later, because I got a nonnef trailer upgrade coming 2A475F5C-250D-42E5-BD6C-927EF56D3AA6.jpeg

    Ok despite the USPS tracking number not updating it seems like packages are making their way to people!
    I probably don’t have to clairfy this, but for completeness. a small note:
    The axe Base has a side with tabs that don’t run up to the face.
    37119DE7-C2AA-43A2-82E9-A0AD8B8D4477.jpeg
    Face the side that has tabs stopping short of the face towards OP forearm flaps. This will give clearance for the flap pegs and It should close flush.

    If it’s the other way you’ll have an unsightly gap. Flip it!

    Got mine today, tracking number updated this morning to show out for delivery. This thing looks great, thanks again for the hook up!!! Both this and my Toyhax labels showed up today. Can’t wait to get this guy stickered up and on the shelf!

    ...now that I think about it, I should probably order a clear one for my Amazon “dead” Prime too...

    Every photo you guys take of Trunkkey's handiwork look so good!

    I'm looking forward to mine arriving, though with my state in full draconian lockdown mode I can't be sure when it's going to get through.

    Hopefully it won't take too many weeks.

    Sad bit of news, since I have butter fingers and hardwood floors, I am sad to say that I lost my last axe. I'm gonna see if I can get them replaced, but if not then I'll look someplace else.

    @Trunkkey

    My package of axes arrived today!
    Woooo-hooo! :)  Big thank-you to you for all your hard work!

    Both the orange and the colourless axes are brilliant! They look excellent and the attachment slides effortlessly into Optimus' wrist. Outstanding tolerances!

    I think a colourless, lifeless axe is perfect for Alternate Universe Optimus Prime.

    I like to think that in a shambling, zombie-like state Optimus fuels his axe with the last dregs of innermost energon from his empty spark chamber.

    And now some poses with a little less "Return of the Living Dead."

    Again, big thank-you to Trunkkey for making such a terrific accessory!

    I think I might need to buy another orange one, for when the Netflix Optimus arrives in store. That dual-axe pose people have been putting Optimus in is just dynamite!

    That's really cool. I say keep it simple. Are you going to do a mace next? I don't 3D print but I had an idea. I noticed that when people print several parts they sometimes have them all on a "tree". I assume you just cut the parts off much like a model kit. Could you design a chain which had each link connected with a small "tree" or spacer? Then just simply cut the spacers out? Just a thought.

    Thanks !!
