Ratchet came in from PC today. Outstanding service.
Looks like Ocean Design has a sticker sheet all ready for Ratchet:

Chimungmung seem to be the only one who has it at the moment though.
I would have preferred water slides but again that's my preference. Are these water slides?Quote:

A masterpiece that is unfortunately let down slightly by the known paint issues
For me paint peel happened on the bicep when I bend the arm, the joint is so much tighter than ironhide the forearm piece rubbed too much on the bicep section and some paint simply peels off clean like if no primer was used and they simply painted on the unclean plastic, the bond between paint and plastic is touchy on certain spots and other parts (hidden joints) the paint app is clearly too thick hence can rub easily, It's could be a bad batch and honestly one can't tell until it happens
there's other really tiny ones which i can see from panels pushing into the paint but those are so minor i can ignore

So i simply removed all the paint on the bicep piece and gave the white plastic a clear gloss polish finish and it looks just as good

While slightly flawed it is still one of the best looking piece in the collection, maybe its the color combo or just the general look of the figure, it really pops on the shelf

Awesome pics^^^
May I ask what you used to remove the paint on Ratchets arms? Or how you did it? Mine hasn't arrived yet so unsure what condition it will be. I'm just preparing myself for the worst.
thanks, I use a Gundam marker eraser GM300 pen, its liquid so i soak a cotton tip and simply use it to rub off the paint, it comes off pretty easily in few secondsQuote:

Clear Gloss polish wise i simply use "Long Life 1L Self Shining Floor Polish" from bunnings, its a watery based polish so i applied few coats over an hour or so and then that's pretty much it. so it doesn't have a bland / flat plastic look
