    It wouldn’t even be that hard to do. Just add a horn (which could be removable if need be), swap out the purple for blue, darken the grey, and add green spots.

    If we do get Giga it'll definitely be after Dr. Wu finishes milking this mold... Dr. Wu will get as much of a return on investment as possible with this current mold as all it requires is a different color of plastic and some tampograph stickers in order to create a new version.

    With Gigastorm he'll actually have to retool the mold and it'll only be worth doing so if he can recoup the initial investment from the retooling plus a profit that is large enough to justify doing so in the first place. Although possible, we won't get Giga until Dr. Wu is finished making us "taste the rainbow" with his current mold.

    ShowZ requested final payment for the Dark Dragon earlier today, and I'm pretty excited to see how nice they'll look with Dr Wu's Nemesis Prime.

    Are they for sale? I'm VERY interested in a set.

    Though it is annoying that the largest and most prominent one has a non-sensical misspelling. "HELIPA" in big letters looks bad. :(

    It would be best to simply purchase the actual sticker set as it literally costs less than $8... You could then copy the sticker set and print it out onto clear sticker paper. That way you could correct the "Helipad" misspelling and also give the designer what's owed to him/her.

    Yes. But what's 'best' isn't the same as what's 'not impossible'.

    Nah man, it's better to just steal the designers work.

    I mean, we're not getting uptight about creator's rights on the third-party transformers forum, are we?

    Okay, then.

    There are limits to my hypocrisy... I mean if someone were to say, you know, reproduce several molds of tiny figures that sold for a billion dollars each (e.g. NewAge, Magic Square) then I would not only turn a blind eye to, but would also indulge in as well as appreciate the illegal efforts of such companies lol... But dude, to steal someone's meager efforts to make such a small profit is fq'd up lol.

    I mean technically there are only so many Dr. Wu Trypticon figures that are going to be made, and out of all the people who purchased them only a handful will buy this guy's sticker set lol. Now I don't mind too much when I hear of people stealing from Walmart but c'mon man don't steal from the local, already struggling mom & pop store...

    EDIT: But that's just my take on the subject... To each his own of course.
