    I just see myself taking the back holders and plate off, removing the front orange ring and teeth. Mask the blue corners and spray the plate orange and reassemble. It can't be that hard to take it apart to bare pieces. I don't care too much about the gear colors...those can stay blue if they look like they won't hold up painted, I'll just mask those too.

    This will give you a complete orange front and I'll probably paint the chompers inside too.

    If I have no intention of selling this and if I die, it won't be my problem. :D

    They're currently going for over $1000. So...no, I don't think a custom job will go for nearly that.

    Hopefully a 3rd party company creates a orange colored maw.

    That I would agree. I can't see myself doing it. It's a centerpiece and for the price, that would be crazy to do

    The market is going to be incredibly limited. Of the 10k or so Unicron, how many care enough to manually disassemble the thing and try to install custom parts?

    It's like those Botcon custom class figures. The money is in an untouched kit because nobody wants to spend that kind of money for some randos attempt at painting a figure.

    I rather do that than painting it. Either way, it will be interesting if Hasbro will address this.

    What would that even look like? Someone already posted the quote of Warden standing by a display saying this was close to the final version.

    Seems pretty clear they were saying all along the final product may differ.

    Very true. But now I have an unbuilt Minerva and no painting skills so it didn't work out too well for me, haha.

    Here, here. I prefer unmodified toys, even if the original toy is flawed. To me, that gives it character.

    I can't remember if I've posted this, but a chum sent this to me. As a disclaimer, I in no way endorse this behaviour and also would be just as happy if the genders/sexes of the two people were reversed, for the point of the joke:

    You don't need to use YOUR face. That's what Google image search is for.

    Can't someone just make a matching color cap that sticks in there? I'd settle for that.
