    Same, they look like a pretty good upgrade for the figure

    I'd be interested in some replacement hands for Legacy Prime, though there doesn't seem to be much room in his forearms for a bigger design. I'm really not a fan of his weird little open hands.

    I actually ordered that filler set for Skids. It will be here tomorrow so I'll try to get a picture posted of what they look like.

    I did some digging, and couldn't find anything, but did anyone ever make a
    mini planet that could be displayed with Unicron? Either the Haslab one or
    the studio cell version?

    Edit: like one about to be eaten, or getting eaten

    I'm sure you can find a planet ball or similar made for kids, no need for an expensive fan made product.

    Any idea what's going on with TFSafari? I ordered that Cliffjumper backpack kit nearly a month ago and it still hasn't shipped.

    Shanghai lockdown is probably slowing them down.

    Shipping is really weird right now - I placed an order from wonderfullys on eBay in late April. Got a notification the day after it shipped that they'd left a part of the order out and would be sending it separately.

    That piece arrived late last week. The original main order still isn't here yet - but both got jammed up after arriving in the States.

    I placed an order on 4/22 and the in-stock items arrived on 5/7, so they're shipping stuff. I see a note on that Cliffjumper piece that says "2022-5 New batch to be released in June."

    Has anyone announced Null Rays for Core Class Skywarp yet? Feel like that’s an easy slam dunk.

    Or 'Warp-colored gap fillers like starscream's. I mean, I can order a set of SS fillers & spray paint them black, but I'd rather not deal with the off-gassing.

    Tanks!

    Could you post a picture of the black gun plugged into the forearm cannon mount on his wrist?

    Alx-333 made a set of "Custom food for transformers unicron," but they're for Armada Unicron and would probably be too small. And the print quality is pretty bad.

    @ziltama

    Thanks for the thorough review.

    In your last photo however, you mentioned leaving the stock hands on until new hands arrive?
    Are their plans for a different company to be making hands?

    No, i meant taking off the dna hands and putting the stock ones back on. Did that after the last pic was taken.

    You could paint a set of KFC KP-13 hands for MP Hot Rod if you're a fan of those. I'm not sure how easy they are to take apart and reassemble though.

    Have you considered one of the small War Planets toys -
    A Look Back at War Planets Toys and Television
    they may be reasonably close to the Moonbase he eats in the 1986 Movie.

    SL-134 shockwave labs upgrade for Skids

    2 upper thigh fillers in silver
    2 lower leg fillers

    fits perfect
    Looks great imo, probably the best of the available ones

    I have that set on the way, too. I'm a little bummed though because a couple of days after I ordered my SL fillers, sweetmall-1 posted this from 115 Studios:

    New YYW-28 Filler Upgrade Kit For Legacy Skids - 115 Studio 3D DIY Accessories | eBay

    I do like the idea of the leg fillers color matching Skids' blue, and I've had great luck with 115 Studios products, but I guess I'll wait to see how the SL ones are in hand.
