    Safest things for plastic use are clear acrylics. That could mean a clear acrylic clear coat hobby paint like Tamiya X22 or an acrylic floor polish like Qwik Shine in the green labeled bottle.

    Lots of people here will start talking about using "future" (meaning Pledge floor gloss, it changed its name years ago) but that's a fool's errand if you don't already have some since it's been discontinued. The green bottle Qwik Shine is the closest substitute I've found.

    I had the same break. The piece still stays on in both modes, it just falls out during transformation. When i have time I'll have to see if I can pop out the peg and glue it back together...

    Damn, haven't see this in years. This was a well known issue on the first version of the figure way back in 2017 or whenever it came out, to the point where every seller was having to ship out replacement parts, but I thought ever wave since then had the issue fixed. You can try drilling a hole into the part that's left over, pulling it out and then shaving it down and glueing it if you want but you really should try to contact the seller.

    By chance is anyone on here selling this guy?

    Man, I gotta say, I'm kind of bummed. I've been looking forward to this guy for years but was focusing on other parts of my collection. Now it's finally time to shift to movie figs and I was SO EXCITED to get Challenger, finally! I know KoK is better in a lot of ways but I'm mostly swayed by UT's engineering and overall I'm very happy with him and glad I got him, but his paint is horrible. His red in truck mode is more pink than red, and the blue on his pecs are so faint! In theory I can fix it but it won't be easy. I've got such a weird mix of emotions. Relieved and excited to finally have him, but disappointed that I got one of the worst ones I've seen. 1000001900.jpg

    That's the trade-off when it comes to Unique Toys. You get a really solid feeling toy with clever and smooth enginering, but the figures tend to lack better sculpt and paint. Literally the opposite of Toy World's Knight Orion, where the paint job is great but everything else is shit.
    King of Kock is somewhere in between, where the sculpt and paint is actually quite decent, with a(from what I've seen) not terrible transformation.
    And El Cid is just El SHIT.

    Yeah it's a true display of amateur design. Lol
    Yeah UT was like "'wah wah, it doesn't have truck parts, it won't be able to transform!!' Boom, bitch. We did it." And from then on, the others tried their hand at it, and...they sure tried. KoK did a much better job than the others, but my only complaint is that KOK's Battle Bra can barely contain his tiddies from spilling over. IMG_0292.jpeg
    I wasn't gonna buy it anyway, because DLX spoiled me. But it's Bayverse Prime and any new and original figure will get my attention. And I'm glad it wasn't a complete disaster.



    and hopefully someone does a Peterbilt Prime, that isn't a Legends Scale figure...

    I'm selling mine but it's heavily customized with many replacement parts and extras. You can find pics in the thread somewhere.

    Hold up, why'd it combine my two posts? My question about anyone selling was from several weeks ago. I saw yours and it's beautiful and has a bunch of great accessories but I didn't want to spend that much. I ended up ordering one from aliexpress and it came in this week. Yes I wish the paint was better but I'm going to stick with him anyway. Once I finish adding my own details hopefully it will look better. This figure is the reason I asked you recently about your ink washing technique. :D
