Really liking this figure, but wanted to touch up just a couple details and find a place to homage the original orange of the G1 figure. So he’s got a couple pops of orange, gold beside his head and on his forearms, and a little silver on his shins. Also put some paint in his blaster.
It can be the little details that make the biggest impact sometimes. You've got a good eye for spotting them.
Wait.. Is his hips on backwards? Screws usually point to the rear on most bots. Edit.nope sorry. First look at earthrise bots. Apparently, they all are like that? Whatevs Hasbro....
They're pins that go all the way through. On the one hand, yeah, visible pin ends... on the other, makes it somewhat easier to pop them off with a pin punch.
