    Really like how these two look together

    Personally, I think Kingdom has delivered the best value and best quality leader class figures of the trilogy. Beast Wars Megatron included

    So, do we think series 4/5 get released for pre-order on PULSE today since every other site has them up for pre-order and they have been on a roll for releases this week? I am hoping so.

    It's why I switched to BBTs almost exclusively, still sore about Coneheads. Still those that dare win and all that, I'd rather take the chance than not at all.

    To me, now it's a matter of where to preorder Tigatron. Want it fast, reasonable, and no import charges.

    I don't have a plan. That's why I'm cheesed off, I hate how they are making you take only a single avenue to get a figure. I will just wait for it to show up at a collector shop here me, like how Repugnus, Grotesque, TR Arcee and Ectotron did.

    Alright, I'm looking for opinions on how I should paint my Lambro brothers once I have all three. Should I only paint the front faces of the bumpers black, like how it is on Sunstreaker (which would require removing the black paint from Sideswipe), or should I paint that entire bit black, like it is on Sideswipe? I don't get why they did it differently on each one (Red Alert's isn't painted at all).
    [​IMG]
    I'm trying to balance accuracy to the real Countach and just what looks best aesthetically on the figures themselves. There were various styles on the Countach, ranging from front ends with no black at all to the huge ugly bumpers required for the US market, but my favorite look for them (and the one used by the particular model of Countach the WFC figures are primarily based on) has a small protruding black bumper in front that sticks out a bit more than the slight raised area that's painted on Sunstreaker, but not quite as much as the entire painted part on Sideswipe:
    [​IMG]
    I'm kind of leaning toward painting them like Sideswipe, partly because I'm really not looking forward to removing all that black paint on him and partly because I feel like painting the entire piece looks more realistic *in general* even if it may or may not be more accurate to the Countach specifically, but I want other people's thoughts.

    Earthrise Sunstreaker is the accurate choice regardless of source. Sunstreaker will not appreciate you covering up any of the yellow paint and, you will never ever ever hear the end of it.

    BATC Sideswipe is probably different because of Selects Spin-Out's vehicle mode.

    Kingdom Red Alert is probably a result of the new paint apps it has on the hood and engine bay louvers/vents (the ones directly behind the roof, not the ones behind the windows).


    I'm also not looking forward to trying to remove the extra black paint off of BATC Sideswipe (nor touching up that thin strip nor applying said strip to Kingdom Red Alert) but, that's going to be a must for me at some point.


    It reminds me too much of the thick stripes that would run across the hoods of several 60s muscle cars (if said paint option was chosen). The Lamborghini Countach doesn't have the 90° drop off from the hood (that would house the headlights, grille, bumper) to pull it off and honestly, it rarely looks good of the 60s muscle cars (it looks far better when it runs across the trunk and then goes forward along the rear 1/4 panel).


    Looking for other points of view on aesthetics is definitely advantageous. Speaking of which, I wonder what that mold would look like with the recessed area under the headlights painted black similar to some of the 3rd Gen (1982 - 1992) Camaros (FFS Hasbro/TakaraTomy make a modern toy of Windcharger as a Trans AM then retool that into the IROC-Z and release 30 versions of each of those).

    Ultimately though, it's your collection, you do you. You'll be much happier in the end.
