    Raiden is now standing. And a whopping over 20 inches. Here he is compared to the Dinobots combiner and I havent added the head and arms yet. I think at the end, he will be taller than Bruticus.. I guess it is true to the fact that trains are longer and lenkier than vehicles...






    I know I keep jumping around projects.. I guess it keeps it fresh for me.

    Hope you guys like it.

    Love how thin he is, but does his slight build mean he can only be posed with his feet splayed out on an angle?

    Can't wait to see him painted up in Raiden's lovely colour scheme!

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for the comments and glad you guys like it. The feet can be posed and can stand when closed as well however, it has lost some of the bendability at the knee point.

    I will be getting onto the paint later, I am trying to build all the characters that I am working on and then do the paint on all the projects in 1 go.

    Loophole - thanks
    Bruticus - no, this was helped casted by a customiser in Singapore. I knew these heads would come in handy as they are expensive and hard to find even for worn figures. They are getting expensive as the number of people doing gestalts these days.


    Iamtrunks - thanks. As said above about the legs. That was tricky to get stability.

    Here is another pic I have for this figure. I changed the configuration of the feet alittle.
