    Ah, the good, the mad, and the ugly. Very nice!

    Does the transformation still work with those KFC hands in place? It's hard to tell from the pics if there's sufficient clearance for them to fold into the arms.

    If they do... Well, I do already intend to have this Galvy seated atop Earthrise Magnus' truck mode, and hands that can actually grip the front edge of the cab are aaaaawfully tempting...

    A little tight, but doable.

    What colour and brand did you use to paint over the purple on the crown?

    Picked up some testors spray from Hobby Lobby. Light Aircraft Gray. Not an exact match, but very close. CC11C7DF-B7BD-497E-8173-CB45A015FDF5.jpeg

    Will enamel paint stick to that kind of plastic? Its not tacky? I'll probably use acrylic paint to paint his crown BUT Im gonna wait til my KFC hands come in so I can paint them both with the same shade of gray.

    Not tacky at all. Plus I did cover it with a satin varnish after the paint dried. Overall it is just a place holder until the 3rd party Galvatron heads become available. ;)

    Really loving this figure a lot more than I expected. I'm still 50/50 on the decals, they're pretty cheap and I didn't apply them all.

    I actually think he works amazingly as a Shattered Glass Galvatron:

    Before SG Prime is able to unleash the full power of the Matrix of Corruption, Megatron is able to strike the killing blow! Knowing how dangerous the Matrix is, he has no choice but to claim it himself. What he didn't count on was being mutated by its powerful dark energies into the mighty Galvatron!

    Watch as the heroic leader of the Decepticons fights to keep the power of the Matrix from falling into the hands of the evil Rodimus and his Autobots, all while desperately clinging onto his own sanity, before it slips away.....forever!

    Barring Hasbro doing an SG Haslab Unicron, this may be the best way to introduce Galvatron into the SG mythos

    As a side note Simon furman thought that the animated movie would be set in 2006 hence the title. But of course it ended up being 2005 that it was set in.

    These KFC hands really bring Galvatron to another level. Very expressive.

    Got mine from TFSource. These particular ones are on sale btw. Be sure to heat them with a hair dryer first and hold them by the palms when inserting or else you'll break those articulated fingers.
