    The paint on the lower legs seems to chip easily (already has several silver spots on it), but otherwise a great toy. Thanks!

    Not just Fractyl, Terrorsaur could really become a troop builder of sorts. Let's not forget Lazorbeak, the "AoE Swoop" colors, Terranotron, and if you want to stretch things a little his orange/green Armada colors as well...

    (And I'll go on the record right now saying that if they're of roughly this price/quality, I'm in for all of them.)

    I have to sell all of the current inventory before I can start working on another repaint/remold. Once that happens, I will let you know. I don't think it will be any time soon though.

    The paint on the legs is more prone to chipping because the legs are diecast.

    Got mine in yesterday. The gradient on the wings is gorgeous. Looks good with the rest of the Blue bot crew

    Thanks for pushing this to get made. Any contacts w/transart or infinite transformations? Would love some quality mp repaints.

    Yes. If this goes well, I plan to do another character. It's a big if though.

    Shame about the chipping, but the diecast legs are a BIG improvement. The original versions of this mold all have a horrible tendency to tip forward in bird mode, not being able to stand up properly. The diecast lower legs rectify that problem by moving more of the weight to the rear.

    Yeah in an ideal world it wouldn't have the paint chipping, but I much prefer the diecast and it's a worthwhile trade off. Besides my copies don't really have any chipping regardless, just going to be careful.

    Shot in the dark here, but was there ever an accidental or prototype version with blue Airrazor's head and not Skywarp's?

    Those are cool. I was just wondering if there was a run with an Airrazor head for Bluebolt. No worries.

    Okay perfect, and just to make sure it's $40 and just include your postage address on the payment comment?
