    I am on the other side of the country so I am guessing it will be a while before I get the wing tips, but that's ok ;)

    All this figure needs is some added paint apps. Otherwise figure is nearly flawless. Everything says the blue is wrong. It isnt. Its cartoon movie accurate based on my comparisons with the HD dvd I have. What it lacks is the silver/pearl white-ish chest an pelvis, and the similar colored planet Northern and Southern icecap looking paint apps.

    Currently debating if I should repaint the face/hands and feet the same silver as well.

    ====[DONE]===> Repaint Phase 1 - [Core" Bot mode]

    Got the new rings in. They improve planet mode significantly, especially in the way that they attach. As for robot mode, I don't find them to be much better (if at all); the additional length makes them look too thin and the straight sections at the end are off-putting. Not a big deal for me since this figure is now a planet mode sidebar next to the Haslab robot mode.

    Nice display. And now I have an idea of how that Shockwave/Revenge scales with Lord of chaos in planet mode.

    That larger ring really does make ALL the difference, doesn't it?

    I've been thread-diving but I can't find the person to contact on FB about the rings. Or do we need to wait for another group buy?

    Rings or tips. The bigger ring can be bought at any online retailer of your choice.

    Just FYI, the currently available tips can only be used with the rings that come with the figure.

    Bigger rings + tips would make him look like an umbrella.

    You might be able to ask @DJofSYN if he has any spares or someone backs out, if he can put you on the list for a pair. He organized the second group buy from the maker of the tips in Malaysia.

    As Divinecomedy said, be aware they only fit on the original rings. The maker confirmed they won't connect the the new rings.

    It's a Google Nest Home, which typically shows a photo album when in ambient mode. It was off while I was taking the photo. If I was the slightest bit creative, I could have cast the animated movie to it instead.

    Hm... I just suddenly had a great idea...

    What are the 4 smaller lights lighting the Haslab Unicron? I have been looking for something like that but all of the ones I find are too big/in the way.
