    WWE Ultimate Edition news,
    Still waiting for Randy Savage from Collectable Kingdom :rolleyes: 

    Upcoming series of intrest,
    Series 11
    Kane & Undertaker (Very intrested to see these two if this info is legit.)

    Series 13
    Hulk Hogan & Mr T (If these two are Wrestlemania 1 versions then Piper & Orndorff should be in a future wave to complete the main event.....it's about time Mattel did a decent Piper sculpt.)

    Valaverse are bringing out a 2nd version of their Sgt Slaughter who has swappable arms so you can display him without the jacket for more of a wrestler look so I'll be getting that one.

    sure. I need to get the toy in hand but I cant see it being harder then measuring the depth and diameter at the bottom, the same at the top and then guesstimating the dome shape of the surface. matching colour might be a pain but I've got a few purples that should work.

    Worst comes to worst and I don't get mine in the next few weeks if someone has a pair of calipers and can take those measurements I can always print a prototype based on that but it'll be all guess work till I get a chance to test it.

    ***SORTED THANKS FOLKS!!***

    Also, does anyone’s local Smyths have the £10 Cyberverse Clobber in stock?

    Woot! Happy to see Ron Perlman is going to be reprising the role of Primal in Rise of the Beasts. He deserves another shot after being one of the good parts of the Machinima PotP series :thumb

    You absolute legend! Shoot me a message and let me know your PayPal etc.

    I figured if they’re going to shaft us on Straxus by using his IDW look then I should absolutely go back to my abandoned custom OG version idea.

    Thanks everyone for the Sunstreaker advice, going to give it a go and maybe even pickup an upgrade set.​

    The Toyhax labels are worth getting for Sunstreaker. Helps to break up the mismatched yellows and draws the eye away from this. Incidentally my figure had the tabbing issue of the windscreen. Just a fault in that design/figure.

    I got the upgrade spoiler for Siege Sideswipe but haven’t progressed getting more lambo sets. Given the number of lambos one will need to take on a loan to get kits for each one. :p 

    I really like the Sunstreaker upgrade kit that has fillers and rear spoiler that provides an additional part to the rear bumper.

    @Rockdown - you seem to have Lady Luck on your side getting all these latest figures early doors. Slaying it. :)

    What you want are these for the shoulder fix. Don't try the lesser brand nylon prying tools, they won't cut it. Don't use screwdrivers like the youtube guide.

    Guarantee, using these plus a quick splash of kettle boiled water and no stress marks or damage.

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0762BVXDY?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

    For isopropanol, you need isopropanol 99.9%.

    Absolutely not surgical spirit as this can often contain oils and methylated spirits that will damage plastic.

    Again, something like this. Do not use neat, water it down and increase strength until it works.

    Well, you live and learn. Probably what caused the disintegration of my poor original TR PMOP's Apex!

    Oh wow I definately know what you mean by breaking up the yellow, the black labels on the side really make it feel more like that Lambo sleek convex styling. Great tip.

    And he's back! I'll need the rain card codex to decipher whatever you just said, but welcome back to the mad prophet of the forums.

    Certainly good news. Love me some big ron.

    Thanks for the heads up! I bought one off FB last week. In fact I think I missed delivery on it today so hopefully I'll pick it up tomorrow morning
