    Is it bad? I thought it looked okay, but way too big for my collection. I didn't know there were bad reviews.

    There aren't... while the "NERF" ability is "nerfed", it's cool for what it is. Pretty solid in both modes as a transforming figure.

    Rubix cube for size comparison. ;)

    My copy is pretty floppy with a lot of burred surfaces. The QC was just a hit and miss. But perhaps it was my copy. Plus it has those weird Ultraman Zoffy proportions that I don't like. It's fine for what it is, but I gave it to a friend of mine who would appreciate it more.

    If your friend is a gun-nut, you're an awesome friend.

    I look at the sniper rifle as badass, and the bot mode as a different style of armada/powerlinx/whatever metroplex titan figure, and then the proportions don't bother me as much. :thumb 

    But yeah. The nerf ability sucks... can't shoot my wife to save my life. :lol

    Anyone seen a tiny Predaking in original colors lately? I can only find that something like that existed some years ago and that there are currently translucent rainbow colored tiny Predakings. I have the tiny Devastator and would like now to also have Predaking for my Legends display.

    Nah, but from all the alternate colors out there, you might be able to parts-swap a close-enough g1 version?

    If I come across one, I'll let you know. :thumb

    I love that Wrecker Hook! I couldn't tell you why, but it's always felt just right at that scale. Hope you find one of your own!

    My stuff's packed in boxes currently, so I can't check, but maybe I'd sell the R-Blade if he's in decent enough condition. :)

    Circling back to the sticker set I was doing for my KO MP-27. Still a work in progress, and I'm working on adding some panel lines via low-profile waterslides...but so far, so good I think.

    I'm thinking that this was a good practice run, but I'm already planning to strip a bunch of this off and go for a 2.0 with what I've learned :lol

    Ugh, I had all of those guys years ago, but sold them during my first purge.

    Definitely regret doing that, and have had them all on my wants list at Sirtoys for a good long while now.

    A lot of them.

    Not 100% accurate, but one of the more valiant attempts. Robot Masters had weird scaling.

    Weird. How is there a size chart for Robot Masters? Did they come packaged with specs cards or something?

    I used the size they are in the RM comics. While there is variance, artists tend to keep more or less in scale with the character sheet. Unless you're Akom, I guess. So it's just reading a lot of comics and lining them up against one another to find the best average and most accurate scaling.
