Did Kup lose an arm during the movie too? Dodgy QC :(

Def order the Igear heads! Cut broken kups leg off and put scuffs all over him for a movie accurate and then eBay that shizzle!

iGear heads would definitely justify a BBTS order I've been umming and ahhing over currently.

I reckon I'd rather use my dud Kup to attempt that modifcation where the door panels are moved to his legs in turn freeing up his arms. Then he's be more poseable and more G1 accurate.



Though he really does need to lift some weights. Skinny arms for an old timer.

Sorry for the double post. I ended up doing that panel mod to dud Kup just then. Pretty easy and I recommend it!







You lose a tad of poseability in the legs but gain much more from the arms.

I also tried to fix his arm. I noticed there is a heap of stuck melted plastic inside the join area so I tried my best to scrap it out. Now his arm sits on a bit better but still falls off.

I'm quite happy with the arms mod, once I get my replacement I can mix and match parts so I can revert back to how he comes if I wanted.

If I wanted to go another step further it would be working out what paint colour etc I need to paint the section of his arms that were covered by the panels. I best not open that can of worms though else I'd want to paint them all!

Very interesting, but I don't think I will do that to my Kup, as I have the Ehobby version, and don't want to ruin him with putting holes in him. If I find RTS version locally, then I would consider buying him and doing it.

BBTS have him on clearance for $10 USD at the moment FYI

That's cheap, but he's a want. I leave this job next week and start my new one the week after, so kinda watching my funds from this pay

Wise choice.

I think I will just order the iGear heads from Ebay. About $15 AUD shipped form Hong Kong. Hopefully it's genuine?

[1AZRAEL1]

Even cheaper from the source

Wow that's awesome.

*Orders*

$11.51 AUD shipped = Win!
