    I don't know, a black line over her upper lip gives her just enough character to look more like her IDW 2.0 self. I'd still probably get a 3d print of a new head if someone made it

    She's here! (a day late thanks to my eternal enemy UPS...)

    Cool little unadvertised feature. You can have her interact with regular "Cons and it doesn't cause your entire collection to implode.

    Looks like they're both based on the IDW 2 / Cyberverse designs

    Got Flamewar today. I wish I hadn't bought it. It's the first of this mold I ever bought. It's so fiddly. I suspect this QC issue is coloring my judgement. Is this just mine or is it all of them? There appears to be a missing pin connecting the piece where the front wheel plugs in to the rest of the bike frame.

    Got Flamewar today, and I really like her. I don't like that inserting Fireglide's handle cracked Flamewar's hand. It's weird though, Road Rocket's hand fits the handle fine, so it might just be my copy that's flawed. Side note: I'm trying to swap the hands between Flamewar and Road Rocket, but that forearm assembly is really making it difficult.

    @MECHADOOM

    Can Fireglide work as an arm-mounted crossbow?

    Kinda, I guess? It doesn't look great, it sits too far back, the way I think an "arm-mounted crossbow" could be made with Fireglide. 20221028_021854~2.jpg

    EDIT: This looks better, but is arguably not "arm-mounted".

    Could someone post a picture of how their windshield piece sits on that armateuer? I don't think mine plugs in like it's supposed to and it definitely doesn't fit as well as Road Rocket's
