You make it sound like I'm made of Arcees! I don't even have one *runs off crying*

I'm still lookin' for both o' ya!!

I haven't even seen Ratchet yet!!

I seen Ratchet but his card was all fugged up. And when I went back for it...finito. Gah.

I have both, but I had to rely on someone else to get them for me.

I've never seen either on a store shelf (or peg hook).

Final Prime touch-ups and some fun shots with my custom Ultra Magnus and their repsective trailers

Side by side robot modes with converted trailers for the win!!!!!

They should totally use Optimus' trailer in the next flick. Why the fuck not? It doesn't have to transform...

1) To be faithful, though, it would have to go SOMEWHERE.
2) It's Bay. It wouldn't be faithful. It'd Transform into Big Box, a female Transformer with a latino accent who references Energon burritos.
3) She'd explode.
4) And be brought back to life inexplicably with a new paint job.

Fixed.

Why can't it just be a trailer that he lugs other Autobots in? And since when did the Transformers flicks give a fuck about being faithful?

That's why I posted option #2

That's why the trailer that Lee [and I] have, comes with a nifty, little feature:

Hey everybody. I'm new to the forum. Just replied to one of the Figure 8 posts about making customs and was invited by Lee Rodriguez to post some of my work. Here's a link to my blog.

If you guys prefer I actually post pictures I can do that later.

Goliath is SICK!



There's some really good stuff on your site, man. My only real criticism is that the paint isn't always consistent across the figure. If you can get that down, you are golden. Keep it up!

Thanks man! Yeah I'm still working on trying not to be impatient when it comes to painting. Once I get more time my ultimate goal is to make this cover in action figure form.

DAAAAAAAAAMN!!!

That is freaking awesome! Hair looks wonky, but other than that, fantastic!!

Thanks man! Yeah I still suck at sculpting hair. Anybody have any good tips?

Made a quick BAMF stand for my ML Nightcrawler figure. I basically took the bottoms of the stands that came with the ML Storm, glued some 1.5" dowels, and then sculpted around the dowels. I left a hole in order to put Nightcrawler's tail through it. It was an easy way to keep him in place. I forgot take prelim pics but here it is.

Brilliant.

If you guys still need an Animated Arcee and/or Ratchet I'll keep any eye out for them @ work. We've got 3 or 4 cases of them over the past month or so. I would be happy to pick them up for you if we get more in.

Sweet baby jeebus, yes. You'll be at c2e2, yeah? I just need the Arcee, but this makes me tingle in places best left unspecified.
