    I can spin the orange piece a tiny bit and that’s it
    Anyone else have this problem?

    Well I'm excited to say that my separation kit is ready for preorders again. If you missed the thread I have been working on resin printing the back plate I designed along with the updated internal kit that I worked on with @geekgirl. If you have a printer you can download the internal kit from Thingiverse. The back plate however has to be printed by me. It's taken me 3 months to match the color of the spikes pretty close.

    So all that to say that the preorders are now live on my Etsy shop. Link Here

    How do you like that upgrade kit for Galvs? Specifically the new shoes. I can't decide if they make his feet appear too long.

    I know that was directed at someone else, but I thought I'd share mine on the toy deco. I love them on him!

    I like them, I think they look better in person than in pics. I agree that the feet might be a touch too long now with them on, but I think it's an improvement over stock and adds some additional drama to the look of the figure. Some people have also been repainting them to a matte black to match the other paint on the figure better.

    Thanks guys. I have a set of the other shoes (I know you've seen them, They have a spiked toe). But I like these too! More of a dress shoe than a skull venter.

    TFTM display, Reformatting Megatron added. Looking forward to the Reformatted Galvatron, Perceptor, the remaining Dinobots, and some Junkions.


    Just noticed I have a redundant Wheelie. Two, in fact, depending on your POV. ;)  B9FECA05-8ABB-4A1E-A9AF-BF6A4F2AAD78.jpeg

    Now that lumber prices have come down it’ll soon be time for me to build a new, bigger display case. I’m going to build it so that I can store his box inside the base, which will clear an enormous amount of space in my spare room.

    Just thought I would through this in here if I can. This is a review of the separation kit that I sell for anyone interested in separating the planet from the bot.

    After many months in storage, I was finally able to free Unicron from his cardboard prison. I would love to time travel with this thing and show it to 6 year old me. I wouldn't let 6 year old me take a stab at transforming it, but I'd get hyped about the future. He's big and impressive, and made me wildly nervous to transform. I was mortified that I was going to break something with every untabbing of a panel. But, it's so cool! Photo dump coming up:

    Megatron: Nobody summons me!
    Unicron: Then it pleases me to be the first.
    _MG_3561_resize.jpg

    For a time, I considered sparing your wretched planet, Cybertron. But now, you will witness...it's dismemberment!
    _MG_3572_resize.jpg

    The end?

    The cast
    _MG_3582_sketch_resize.jpg

    I did get ahead of myself shooting these, with missing screw covers and a the wings not set correctly, but still, a lot of fun setting it up and really cool piece to have. Hope you all enjoy the pics!
