    I really wanted to get rid of this figure when I first got it, but it's growing on me, especially after I made him a lightsaber with a straw.

    I cut off his knee joints and knee pads. I want to make legs and knee pads that telescope down because his shins are horribly disproportionate. The problem is that there is very little plastic and room to work with because I still want cars to fit in vehicle mode; I want to keep all the gimmicks. I had to add a block under his knee so it would slide down.

    I want to make his cab and exhaust pipes bigger, but I don't have the materials yet.

    This figure has a lot of problems, but he's very easy to put in a dynamic pose.
