    Also totally agreed with this, @MC Rap Throne and @Snaku you're both artists showing off your work, no different from how @chchchch shows off his digibashing artwork in other threads (and fortunately the minority complaining about that didn't stop him either! my man!).

    Unless a mod comes in here and dictates that you need to stop sharing your work, you don't have to stop, simple as.

    Perhaps you could create a thread in the Creative Discussion section and guide people to give feedback in that thread, but there's no reason why you can't post updates here. Especially when they look this good.



    And nope I'm not jealous at all that you finally have her Liam. Not jealous at all.
    Still waiting for Anime Export to get a shipping quote from DHL. Am I waiting for AE, or DHL, or perhaps neither :lol :lol

    Hmm strange you have difficulties getting it to Ireland??

    Oh you should be jealous! :)  Amazing figure really enjoying messing with it so far. As I expected face, backpack and chest aren't issues to me in hand (never were much on the screen either). Actually I'm quite amazed how well the backpack all fits together when you get it all fully compressed. That took a bit of fettling, though, and now I look back up the thread it seems many people aren't getting quite 100% there with the backpack. Anyway, looks tidy enough to me, and passes my usual continuing-the-TT-koolaid-enabling sanity check - thickness comparison with other bots old and new. She fits right in...

    This kickass and awesome G1 motion blurred mid transformation concept ala G1 box art by @chchchch should be on ALL of TAKARATOMY's Masterpiece box art from now on ! Someone's gotta petition this to them, STAT!

    Oh man thanks everyone, did not expect this reaction! :D  :D  :D  I came up with a cure for covid and the solution to climate change last night but I tried them and they didn't work! Oh well maybe next time, the important thing is the friends we made along the way!

    I agree that posting figure mods is cool (because I want to keep posting digibashes :lol  ). I think it's great that people are positive about the figure and looking for ways to augment it to be exactly what they want rather than declaring it trash. If people were in here trying to come up with ways to produce a KO or something after the figure was released, that would be another story!

    Really really hope you get yours soon Sam and stoked to hear that @Liampope likes it so much!

    That face mod by @MC Rap Throne is 100% of the reason I flipped on MP-51. Just a few days ago it still wasn't for me.

    Yes I hope there's some way we can get it! Partnership with dr Wu so they can actually be moulded and machine painted - dreaming.

    Was looking at this compared with @Snaku's - both very similar, both nailed it imho. Please someone make them real! :)

    1st time transformation (finally)...

    20210121_125223.jpg

    ...I think I'm getting a 2nd one. I have a strong suspicion I'm gonna handle this one a lot. 1st time in a long time; didn't even handle Prime that much.

    To the person posting pictures of the new Arcee face you created: I formally apologize. I'm obviously the only person that objected to it so please carry on. Please everyone just keep posting whatever and enjoy the figure. I'm so sorry I brought that up at all. Can we please move on now?

    Interest was low? Like a dozen people started clamoring for you printed face within an hour or two of you posting it.

    Well I wouldn't do that with Hound, and I do need to make sure the boys don't get too close or they'll rip it in two and eat half each. :)

    I've been following this thread since the beginning and would dare say most think the face could be improved even if they're happy enough with it. 30 likes on a post is pretty high end around these parts unless you're revealing the next MP. Then a whole bunch are begging to be able to buy it. I'd say there's interest! :) 

    Out of interest - does yours work with the visor?
