    Sweet! Can you take a pic of him in a neutral pose from the front with his wings up like that?

    Thanks! Well it's hard to list, plus I added some gold, silver and gunmetal, but the most important parts to add orange is the sides of the waist, the forearms, the and the sides of the thighs, but I also added orange to the toes, the biceps, the sides and back of the head, and the insides of the shoulders.

    What pagan deity did Hot Rod sacrifice a goat to to get a modern figure this good?

    If he were just a tad bigger, I'd swear we'd be looking at RotF-era design quality here. He's just so damned clean and well thought-out. I was afraid with his lanky build that he'd feel a little frail, but almost all his joints are stiff and sturdy.

    Looks great! Honestly looks better than mine haha! I forgot to remove the orange on the middle of the feet. That’s more accurate how you have it.

    Only thing I’d suggest is to add a touch of orange and silver to the insides of the forearms to highlight some of that amazing detailing they put there.

    Yea but I hate when we get good figures like this. It sets an obvious bar that we expect not to be broken

    Man I've heard a lot of complaints from this fandom, but "I hate when we get good things" is one that I've literally never heard before. Bravo.

    I need to go find some orange paint for the finishing touches, especially on the alt mode. I also need to figure out how to remove the incorrect orange paint on the feet.

    What a wonderful figure (crap character though).

    No, he actually said:

    Which seems blatantly obvious to me that his complaint is not a complaint, but just a comment on "damn why can't they all be this good?"

    Like jeez, context matters. He's obviously not criticizing the toy for being too good. I'm shocked that not only you misunderstood that comment but apparently four other people did.
