    So I decided to try my hand at painting a few custom figures that Blokees might actually do at some point but I had the pieces and wanted to try my hand at them. I taped of stickers I wanted to keep the best I could and pieced together a few new bots to add to the collection.
    I did a side by side comparison shot with their original mold as some joints, waist, etc were replaced to make it more accurate. I did find when painting these I had to put a primer coat on as just doing a straight repaint the plastic didn't hold the paint as well. I also know my painting isn't all that great and my masking off job could be better but i'm happy with it and that's all that matters to me

    Blue Deep Cover is an inspired choice - patterned after Netflix I assume? Pretty rad.

    Ratchet is a wee bit messy, but otherwise an excellent job!
