    One of the forearm screws in mine has a warped head, so I can't get it out. *facepalm*

    So if Pointblank had wrist swivels, then you could put the elbow/grill piece behind and simply rotate the fist up. Still leaves you with the car hood parts on the inside of the forearms instead of the outside, but... it's that simple lol. I don't think there is any parts swap of the arms that will work for transformation though.

    I have not! I saw their CrankCase gun set which I was thinking of getting. Might need to make an order. Thanks!

    If you do order the Pointblank set, the elbows by default are black. He is making a limited number of just the elbows in red or blue. I ordered the blue and it looks so much better. Keep in mind you will have to have the base set to go with them in case that wasn't clear.

    How’s the color match on yours? I’ve seen some that aren’t even close.

    Not really close either but good enough for me. I like it better than having that chunk of red in the middle Luke the stock figure. I try to keep in mind that Nonnef's stuff doesn't usually match the best like bigger 3rd party operations when I buy.

    Outward shoulder swing is a little tight on mine to the point it does worry me a little about moving it with that thin two part peg. I had to shave a little off the inside of the connection to the shoulder to make it a little better on the left side as it was supper tight. Generally I always have to shave the pegs on Nonnef's stuff base it is either super tight or a little big. Not a deal breaker as it is better than being loose.

    I bought the Pointblank kit and blue elbows, Sludge kit with red sword, blue Crankcase kit, and another Wreckgar conversion kit with extra color option. The gun spur was horribly colored, kind of a mix of dark and light.

    Does the front look okay, not going flush to the top of the hood?

    Because there's two variations on the figures, for some reason.

    Yeah? I know there are variations in peg size that makes swapping out the elbows a challenge. I haven’t seen any color variations.
