    You didn't get your Grimlock from sirtoys too did you?
    Got my peach girl today (well, my girl did). She's a funky little monkey and the grey doesn't bother me at all. It's a subtle grey. I think she's great especially for the price.

    Got her from my sister for Christmas! She is adorable and fun to pose! It finally arrived yesterday...after weeks of it being on the road.

    Sadly, when I put her gun in her hand and then tried to take it out. The handle and the hand snapped off :cry . Already contacted TCP and they are getting me a replacement.

    Yikes! Sorry to hear that. There have been reports of the gun handle (and some other pegs) being super tight, so it's definitely a widespread issue. Mine was the same. Luckily a bit of sanding/filing will fix that right up! I recommend doing that once you get your replacement.

    I had that issue. Needle nosed pliers to get a grip on the end to pull (twisting little by little) then with some gorilla glue (for a temporary fix), sanding of the peg, might as well do that for EVERY peg to be safe. Still awaiting on my replacement from @ShowZStore to come in.

    So when I first got Peach Girl, I was regretting my purchase because she just seemed so unfinished. I was tempted to ask for a refund, but have to admit the mold is still really cute. I figured with how much gray there is, this might be a good first attempt at customizing a figure. While not perfect, it's definitely a lot better for me now in and really happy with the results. (photos actually make areas seem harsher than what I did! hah but in person it does not bother me and minimal) Pretty proud of this actually :)

    What kind of sandpaper do you use and where do you recommend getting it?

    There's a 1000 to 4000 grit sticks are handy. I build gundams and had them around. A fine grit nail file pad is good. Just sand the pegs until it pulls in and out of the port with minimum of resistance. Any cosmetic counter in a store will carry them.

    Thanks for the advice! The only other thing I would ask is if you know any good videos of how to make sure you don't sand it wrong? I'd like to do things as fool proof as possible

    I got mine a few weeks ago or so. Forgot to pop in and say something about her.
    I pretty much echo all the existing sentiments. Cute little figure, half-assed but cutesy vehicle mode, and the grey is rather disappointingly dark, but still a fun little figure.

    Gun is definitely too tight, though it seems her left hand is the biggest culprit.
    Wish the face was hidden better in vehicle mode, and the neck doesn't really lock in robot mode. Hips could have definitely been sculpted better for more articulation but not a big deal.
    Definitely some mould flash here and there, including inside her helmet, meaning it doesn't peg together perfectly (gotta knock out a pin to fix it which I'm going to do now whilst I'm thinking about it).
    Nice figure overall. Price seems pretty fair. QC could be a little better and the grey should have been a cream, but it's not the end of the world.

    She's standing next to Nicee on my desk, so it's kind of like a big sister/little sister duo thing I've got going (completely by accident - I just found the nearest space to plonk her down).
    No pictures though because people can't handle Nicee's shininess. ;)

    I've no video handy. More like sand a little, test. Rinse, wash repeat until satisfied. Don't go in on it like an annoying nub, just sand the rod slightly. Only way you'd fudge it would be to SAND the hell out of it like cleaning a tough stain.

    Yeah, I got word that my replacement parts for mine are waiting next time I ship something from TCP. She is a cute little figure, but yeah, the weapon tolerances are so bad.

    This figure is all right. I could have done without ever purchasing it though.

    Grey is definitely darker than I’d like. This is my biggest complaint and also biggest pet peeve about the figure — though I’m not the hugest fan of the figure in general.
