Folks, if you happen to know of someone with a broken Acid Swarm, please let me know. I need a part. Thanks in advance.

 

Are these still available? I don't have any for my Starscream...

 

Still available. PM me.

 

This above is what I was referring to earlier when I said it looks like it comes up to the shoulder.

 

Yeah it looks way different in that screenshot. The difference is minimal in real life.

 

Its beyond me how anyone handles those maketoys heads. Or who thought they were a good idea. I get they have to be small because of the enginneering but jeez.
If i hadnt replace heads so soon after getting mine id have sold as soon as a sniffed DS. Im a fan of the mold generally.

 

Having the lighter replacement starscream faces that came with acid storm really make it look more "normal"... I find the mp-52 toon head to look more like a macy's day float. One extreme to the other lol.

Oh, I thought Maketoys is dead.

 

I believe they shut down the customer service email when they closed down their online shop.

 

Replacement 3D printed heads from Etsy. Makes all the difference.

 

Exactly. I think these are most likely same ones I got

 

Y'all got a link?

I generally like the MT seeker mold. I actually think it works for the only conehead they got out - Dirge (Endgame)

I threw on the MP-11 heads for them though, and it was a decent size and look. They had a nice paint finish too, and honestly I think the size of the MT one eased the DS-01 Crimson Wings into the collection as the upgrade without having the scale be drastically different like how MP-52 was.

 

Rededicated for the toy MP shelf.

Some WIP and some final pics with G1 for reference.

 

brilliant  

 

Thanks. I'm not a painter but this worked out. Dark blue gundamn marker brushed smooth after application. The yellow isn't showing on the eyes, so I'm going to make some eye stickers later today while playing DND. I have plenty of gold stock from reissue predakings.

 

I really wish MT would just finish the coneheads, they would have looked really nice next too DS as the main 3 seekers. The difference in the molds work well with each other, I think. Unfortunately I just don't think it will happen now that mp52 and DS exist... 

 

say. you want to sell those stock faces or even just one of them that came with the gold eyes?
