    And you know to soak the spider legs in hot water for a "hot minute" before bending the joints, or snapping in the ball sockets, right?!?

    Anybody gotten issues getting their replacement legs. I submitted my request 4/12 and asked for an update last Friday. I got an email this morning with the tracking. The tracking said it was suppose to be delivered 4/27 but couldn’t and it’s now disposed? My address hasn’t changed with ShowZstore so idk where things went wrong.

    This could mean that the tracking label was messed up either from printing or en route where the bar code isn't scanning properly. Depending on the carrier, a new label might be created to replace the old one but they don't always do it. If more than just the bar code was messed up, like say the address is unreadable, then it could be almost impossible to replace the label.

    I would love to see a digibash or something of this figure in the original Blackarachnia's black gold and red colors.

    What was the name of the company that made that giant prime? What was his "name"? I'd like to keep an eye out for one. Great display BTW.
    Thanks.

    Got the payment notice for the Arcee version from ShowZ today

    Edit: just realized Arcee got a different head from Blackarachnia, not sure I like it. Looks weird considering her head in the Wreckers comics was just a repainted Blackarachnia head.

    Saw this in Baidu, a Chinese collector got wrecker Arcee but he found some details missing, he asked customer service and they said the details are cancelled. I wonder if they really changed the details or the collector got a defected figure and customer service was too lazy to check it.

    Looking at the knockout paint they've done for every other figure, including repaints, I have a hard time believing they are purposefully removing those details.

    They did it before, on the shoulder pads of Transmetal Megatron they left them blank instead of painting them purple. Not a huge deal (for most people), but they can miss details.

    Not to get too off track here, but yeah. I was either going to 3D print details that I could pop on there to fix that but I think I honestly might settle for using a Cricut sticker that fits in those spots. I'm too afraid to screw up the paint basically.

    But it is certainly weird those pics with the white details exist and now they're not there. That tells me either it was a hand painted proto, because why would they ditch the mold/paint pattern thinger if it already existed?
