From Shockwave Lab Weibo. Leg fillers for POTP Orion Pax. As usual, easy to install. They also teased more fillers for Siege figures.

 

I can\'t believe people make $18 toys into a $40 affair with all these fanciful nitpick upgrades.

 

Some people get really salty about "hollow bits", huh?

 

Fillers are a great way to improve the looks of some figures by banishing unsightly gaps. Siege Soundwave, Ratchet, Impactor and Ironhide are vastly better for their fillers.

 

These just seem a little late to me. Then again I've never bought s gap filler set so maybe two years late is normal.

 

Cute.
But, when it's this late to the party the "I can make the even Better?!" drive doesn't fire up like it used to.

 

They could at least try to color match.

 

TR Hot Rod doesn't need leg fillers, he needs an upgrade kit to make him IDW rodimus

 

Seriously. Like, the filler sets for Ironhide are nice and all, but I barely notice most of his gaps, and I'm not about to double his price just to notice them even less. I saw a cool set of feet to replace Ratchet's that make the vehicle mode look so much nicer, but they cost as much as the toy itself did. No thank you.

 

If Transformers really wanted to fill out they'd eat more cyber-protein.

 

A nice option, but the hollow legs have never really bothered me on my Orion figure, especially since I have him combined with his trailer to form Optimus most of the time. But it's an option for those who want it, and as always, options are nice~

 

the fillers stand out more than the gaps. needs to be color matched

 

I think those are unpainted prototypes.

 

I remember reading somewhere that TR Hot Rod had an unused alternate head molded that resembled his IDW design. I can't find the source anymore, but maybe someone else on here remembers where to find it.

 

TFsafari notes the fillers as unpainted, which is disappointing since SL usually paints their kits.

 

There has to be a market for these things, and kudos to them for finding that market, catering to it, and making money (which I assume they are doing). While I can see flaws in $20-$50 mainline figures, it is rare that the flaw is big enough for me to need upgrades like this. Hands and feet for the CW figures I understand (though sadly didn't pick up every set). I guess if you are all-in on "classics" figures you may be really excited that a company has the same passion.

 

Funny, I bought the POTP set just for the Orion Pax figure so this will be a welcomed addition. Does anyone know when this will go up for preorder and when it will be available?

 

It\'s like dressing up your dead cat and trying to convince everybody it\'s still alive.

 

Quite a lot of them were recently released including Hot Rod, Cog, Optimal Optimus, Springer, Shockwave, Sideswipe, Autobot & Decepticon Clones, Refraktor, POTP Optimus Prime, & Sixshot (some that obviously do double duty for other things).

I bought all those a little while ago and they arrived just before Christmas. They are Pretty cheap if you buy the complete set.

 

I'm surprised at how many people are shitting on a bit of inexpensive customizing for these figures.

I enjoy all these little options, stickers, kits etc. It's a fun way to personalize mainline figures.
