    Just a small update on my custom Leadfoot: I got a ton of work done today and it's nearly complete, but I have a lot of stuff going on tomorrow so I don't think I'll have it done by then. I'll have it done sometime this upcoming week, though!

    Alright I wanna do a challenge. It's called the holy grail challenge. Everyone who feels like it post what figure they think is their rarest and lol their holy grail of the bunch. I'll start off with Rotf Evac. I don't think I've ever seen anyone recently have this figure and to me personally I love it despite what others think

    Very well, mine is HA Jazz! Ever since I saw the striking HA packaging I've wanted one of them and eventually getting Jazz felt like a dream come true. I'm keeping him in my collection even though he's way too big for everything I have, he's that much fun.

    I have to agree he needs better paint.
    I custom painted 2 of these and they improve like 200% with proper paint.
    I sold mine (moved on to mpm scale)
    But the tread is still there if you want to see him painted up:
    Minor/Repaint: - Sideproject Stinger

    He looks really handsome!
    How big is he?

    Ooh nice! Are you working on the Studio series or the Human Alliance?

    Omg yasss. he may not be as accurate as Masterpiece Jazz but I must admit back then play value was everything to me at least. Now Masterpiece jazz has play value in my opinion but human alliance Jazz was on a whole other level when it comes to that aspect. I seriously regret sometimes when I gave this figure to my cousin but still I can just enjoy the memories at least and on top of that there's nothing that I can do about it now unfortunately so I might as well just get over it.

    Was browsing an eBay seller I've bought some 3D printed accessories from before, and he's got an extension for SS44's trailer now to make it the proper length. It's something I didn't know I wanted until now.

    NEW 3D DIY upgrade extend lengthen carriage KIT FOR SS44 Optimus Prime | eBay

    He's got lots of other good SS sets as well, I picked up smokestacks for Prime and Soundwave guns. Quality is really good on both.

    Out of the movie toys I owned so far, 2 of the rarest would probably be...

    Takara-Tomy DOTM DA-12 Air Raid (The best-looking variant of the ROTF Breakaway mold IMO, but also the rarest of them all due to being a Japanese only exclusive):

    [​IMG]

    DOTM Movie-Exclusive Sidearm Sideswipe (Love the more vibrant, sleek motorsport livery on this figure):

    This is very interesting. I always thought the SS44 trailer was too short but didn't think anything of it since it turned into the weapons ring.

    But this comes at an interesting time because I was looking at this last night.

    40d5e743-83bc-46ab-bb10-a2266f4bf049.jpg

    It's from the Movie Trilogy Series Optimus Prime that came out shortly after DOTM. It also came in the Transformers Chronicles set with G1 Optimus and the DOTM deluxe Prime.

    Does anyone have this trailer that they could show off with either SS32 or SS44?

    I think the 3D kit gets the proportions right but you'd just have a box sitting on top of the weapons ring which isn't ideal so maybe this trailer is a closer fit.

    Not the most recognizable Blitzwing toy, but I guess that’s just a credit towards how well he wears his Starscream costume.

    I actually really like his jet mode. Though he looks more like an old school Russian MiG than he does an F-4 Phantom. I do wish the underkibble tabbed together better though. It all seems to hinge, literally and figuratively, on his arm panels staying connected to the wings.

    He’s got some decent accessories. I like the extra hinge in his right hand for the Bee strangling action. I did not have my Off-road Bee handy, so I’ll try that out later. He does have a pretty slick transformation. I love how his legs morph from jet to bot mode. That rollbar assembly could’ve pegged together better though. I see what others have mentioned about his shoulders coming untabbed at the slightest movement. It does help to squeeze those back pegs in as hard as you can, but it still feels like you have to move him delicately or his chest canopy will just start flopping around. I might try some floor polish on those tabs/slots to add some thickness and see if that helps.

    Blitzwing has a really cool profile though. The way his wings fold-up in bot mode make him look almost bat-like. He’s even got the creepy cool headsculpt to pull off that look too. Overall, I’m quite pleased with SS Blitzwing, a decent jet and a killer robot. It’d be better if he could pull off a tank mode too though.

    Ya know, put the blitz into the wing. Maybe....,no.....meh....worth a shot.

    Bert the Stormtrooper has a video comparing a few trailers using SS05, which I believe is still the same size in truck mode as SS32/SS44. Thumbnail is the Deluxe Trailer.
