    I also did the same to a Gunmax I have and I'm worried about the electronics.

    Hmm. You’d probably want to disassemble it and soak the parts in high percentage rubbing alcohol (not acetone). It should soak off the paint slowly. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

    I actually recently got that Victory Saber set for a steal due to it being sold as a "yellowed" figure, I really need to get around to cleaning it one day

    If I'm honest I'm fine with them being painted over for now. But I'll keep this in mind! Plus I kinda took the time to make them kinda screen accurate ><; nonetheless thanks!

    Been holding back from getting any of the SMP/Kotobukiya Brave model kits... which has better quality? Are they equivalent or better/worse than a HG/RG?

    Apples and oranges id say. SMP has transformations while kotobukiya only has armour up for the Great forms by buying the main Brave's base form. Some of SMP are also a touch stylised (like Fighbird). Alternative destiny is more like kotobukiya but even more stylised.

    I was curious about how strong the connection of the ladder is when in robot mode.

    I posted this earlier but I have one with a broken ladder that I fixed with Epoxy sculpt and sometimes it doesn't want to stay in place and pops out.

    Pretty strong iirc. Takes a bit of force to take out.

    Maybe I should put some some super glue around it to make the fit tighter.
