    Yeah, I'd like a red swindle, a light tan brawl, a green vortex and a white blastoff (no UW orange accents) to make a battle gaia - a regular ole' cw onslaught will fit the bill for great cannon.

    But I agree, bluestreak, sideswipe and ratchet should be high on the ko releases.

    I was shocked to find they still have it at the shop I got mine from a couple of years ago. It's not actually 1:1, though. It's just a little taller than the real one.

    You're welcome! I have him on a catch-all Wreckers shelf and he works really well. The size difference helps make him more distinct from Springer.

    Just found out I wanted a battle gaia and guard city from CW now. I've heard the names thrown around here and there but never knew who they were.

    I've got that guy but my copy's head is so loose that it falls off with a bare minimum of motion.

    Still, it's a really good KO figure other than that.

    I forgot that the head on mine was misassembled. It's two pieces and was misassembled, just by the screwhole not lining up correctly but still holding together somehow. I unscrewed mine, lined it up the right way, and screwed it back together with no problem. You'll probably need to take the head apart to paint the eyes, anyway. Mine weren't painted. I used the brightest, most reflective blue I had and it's still hard to see the eyes.

    good to know, thanks for the heads up.

    on the subject of wreckers, are there any kos that would work well/could be modded into a decent rack n ruin?

    If a 3P would KO Siege Sixgun in green then a pair of 'em would be the Mutt's for it!

    I have a couple of the blue Powerglides from here on order. Some green paint and a part to lock a couple of ball joints together and I think they'll be good.
