    You know you don't really have to start a new thread for a picture review. Just add pictures to an existing thread.

    Thanks for the pics, I was wondering if the bumper would fold down as a waist skirt.

    Those repaints look excellent, though I'd prefer the head match the arms and feet (or vice versa, I'm not a huge fan of tan) and brown lower thighs would definitely help.

    I'm pretty sure this should go into the radicons section.

    If I would have seen those mods when preorders went up I would have jumped on this, guess I got to hope for a general release or hope I can get hooked up by a member.

    some people canceled their preorders because a few are available for preorder again at bbts.

    also I don't see how the gray head matches better. Sure its more G1 but there is no gray in thus figure so not sure how gray head matches better.

    They'd just get buried over 20 pages of bickering that no one will ever backread.

    This is true. Even though it's not always the case, I typically hate scouring mega threads for new photos since they're kind of allover the place. I think a solution for this would be for the author to quickly add placeholder posts when starting a new thread. That way, new photos can be added to a central location that everyone will be able to get to without having to sift through an entire backlog of posts.

    I think he was referring to the fact that the same person started both threads, so he could've just added the new pictures from this thread to the first post of the other thread.

    Can anyone PS the head to be the same colour as the arms, with an orange mouthplate, red hips, and brown thighs?

    I know I'm not asking for much... ;)

    Indeed, that's why I kinda dug the Project Genesis thread because the OP had the decency to add shit to the first post so that it wouldn't get buried in bile
    I stand by my point

    Seconded!

    That's.... ummm... fine, but saying that new images on the very first post of a thread would "get buried" in the mix of other posts makes no sense at all.
