Here's a vest, helmet, and backpiece for a Unikreon minifig, made upon request:

Or a Cyborg Viking Bat...either one.

My idea of a Unikreon upgrade kit would be a Death Star Lego kit and a can of orange spray paint, but this works!

I can pretty much guarantee that mine is the cheaper alternative.

I've been informed that a fully-painted version of my Unikreon Upgrade set is being sold on eBay...like right now!

I can't remember if there are forum rules about linking to live eBay auctions, so I won't.

But it's pretty wild to see, especially since I'm not the seller!

kinda chumpy that "yanika55"/"NexusPrime99-reapers_fury" doesn't give you any credit or anything and they have the nerve to put a copyright watermark over the image. What is it they think they are copyrighting? The kreon or the character? The toy addon? the paint job? The photo?

funny that they used the Shapeways box as a backdrop though... :/

It's a weird disconnect to see something you designed show up in places you had no part of lol

Well, at least Seibertron forum members know where it came from, and he does acknowledge a "designer" in the TFW2005 forums.

And I did mention "Hey, you should sell one of those on eBay and see what it fetches!" in a PM.

Guess maybe it's time to start adding a buck or two to my models...

heck yeah man, especially if you consider the design to be "final". Besides, adding a dollar or two isn't going to break anybody's bank or keep them from ordering and just maybe if you sell enough of them you can break even for your test prints... maybe... someday... lol
