These figures were so close to being fun little toys and I feel the paint gave it the extra punch they needed. On Bee I added -Metallic belly -Metallic tire hubs -Blue colored back windows On Barricade I added: -Blue Windows (really livened up the figure) -Metallic gray arms -Metallic Copper hands (I was doubtful at first, but when I did it, it felt a lot more barricade alike)
