Tim, have Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman seen your design here? Once this whole "strike" business is over you better send it to them, because I sure as hell will. This design is amazing.

I like the hands. Is it taken from lego too?

Just mention that most of the site will support them and start a simple petition thread in Movie Discussion. (Can we poll anymore?)

No. The hands are from a Marvel Megamorph Wolverine figure.

Mr Orci has seen quite a few of my designs and has always been complementary. Nice guy.

I have posted my work on several TF sites. I have not sent my work to anyone in the film team officially.

Pieces from a Megamorph Venom were also used for the "big toes" on the front of Soundwave's feet.

I'm not sure I understand what your question is. Can you elaborate a bit more?

It means they're great, and I can't see how anyone wouldn't be complimentary, I'm sure even purists like it.

You'd be surprised. There are plenty of folks who aren't big fans of my work. Such is life.

Did you search for and bought all these figures just for Soundwave?

No. I found a lot of the Megamorphs on clearance at TRU and stocked up for future projects. I usually get the Lego sets on clearance too.

I have a few boxes filled with these "spare parts". Also known as a bits box. Pretty standard customizing procedure.

I'm gonna try to follow your procedures.

That means a trip to the toy shop this sunday.

BTW, Toys R Us is running a sale today on Bionicles. 50% off. At $4.99, you should be able to find a few sets that might help you in your builds.

Movie toy or Classics toy. Haven't decided yet.

I have a simple question. In the first pic of your production on the first page where are the shoulders joints taken from? Like, what figure did you get them from?

Which pic exactly? I orginally started with all Bionicle pieces but switched the shoudlers and arms for Exo Force pieces. Both made by Lego.
