    DNA Designs might, otherwise pretty unlikely, nobody besides them really makes those kinds of third party upgrade sets anymore.

    The "A-grade" Axes have been removed, as I won't be casting them anymore. But I will be selling versions with slight bubbles in the future, at a discounted pricing.

    Nothing yet, if anyone does it it’ll likely be DNA designs. Besides that I only see companies doing gap fillers and maybe new shurikens and accessories.

    Go Better's next set...thigh fillers for SS86 Scourge and Legacy Alpha Trion. Well, it's at least something.

    If they were going to go to the effort they could have done the screw holes in his wing kibble too and if they wanted to got the extra mile his triceps and the screw holes in his buttplate. I like these though I bet it would get expensive for those with more than 1 sweep to address.

    I have 1 Scourge, 5 Sweeps, and 2 Alpha Trions. I might skip buying these for the Sweeps and just get sets for Scourge and the Trions.

    1/2/1 for Scourge/Sweep/Trion for me.

    I don't see the point to _this_ sort of thing since (to quote Emgo) I don't display my figures facing the wall/back of the shelf. I've honestly mostly ever gotten fillers as part of a package deal or as an add-on because I felt like throwing more money JRC's way (Slug sword + foot fillers were cheap back then). I got the Go Better set for Core Soundwave, but haven't actually done anything with the new feet funny enough.

    If you can get one of these swords by Renderform it just finishes Metalhawk perfectly PXL_20230320_204221610.jpg

    Also couldn't help myself and got the wrist adapter for Menasor since I had no use for the Hasbro guns since I got individual replacements for each bot and use Motormaster's as the center blaster. PXL_20230320_211458233.jpg

    Looks like TFSource finally got DK-38 set in.

    Moon Base restocked the Dark-Ism Flamewar head. Still haven't seen Mandarake list any of the newest Dark-Ism heads.

    Edit:

    BBTS is lising DK-25 (SS86 Jazz, Hot Rod, Kup + SS BB Starscream set) and DK-26 (MPM Starscream and Barricade set) at half off. These cannot be added to POL.

    The DK-25 set is a mixed bag. The Daniel figure is trash. The SS BB Starscream hands are horrifically awful and somehow ended up being worse than stock. The rest of the parts are fine.

    I have not tried out DK-26 nor do I have any MPM figures.

    I think this filler is as much about hand feel as it is look, those gaps "feel" ugly as much as look gappy. if you just but a figure and stick it on the shelf then fillers are not required at all really, take Cheetors leg fillers for example they mostly benefit beast mode, so if someone never transforms him they'd not be getting the benefit of them.

    But I play with Alpha Trion a fair bit, he's not likely to be superseeded by another Alpha T for a long time so he's going to get handled and when handled then I notice the gaps, i'd feel them in this case. Alpha's fillers look nicer though so If I was going to start anywhere it would be with those even before scourge or the sweeps, But well Cyclonus had fillers so why not the flying slipper brigade too.

    received my nonnef stunticon upgrades yesterday. the wheel hub fillers are a bit tight so the wheels barely move. other than that, everything else is top notch. the color match on the off white spoiler is perfect.

    Purchased the more recent KO bladed weapons sets and the new Go Better Scourge and Alpha Trion fillers off eBay. There seems to be 2 different groups doing the KOs. The pictures appear to indicate the better group is doing these but won't know for sure until in-hand. The Go Better fillers are a much simpler set than some of their other more recent (but not so good) sets.

    The Dark-Ism Flamewar head sold out fast again. Moon Base's website indicates Dark-Ism isn't making any more.
