But which one

And yes, the end result is remarkably awesome. I just sat in awe for quite a while once it was finished.

I still have a couple surprises left to show off with the kit.

That just looks like a dang fun thing to do!

Pin removal is a scary process, no?

Normally yes, but they provided a molded block to rest OP on. I used the provided screwdriver and they slide out real easy. They provide a shorter slimmer pin to replace the main torso pin with as well as a few replacement screws. I read stories of the factory ones been stripped out but all mine were fine. I did use theirs for the replacement torso bit as they were slimmer and threaded to bite fresh plastic better.

The pins slid right out nice and easy and went back in even easier. The instructions aren't the best, but easy enough to follow if your have any inclination to building things. For example, they only had instructions illustrations for one leg and left it up to you to figure out the second verse. The hardest part was making sure not to flip the left and right pieces as they are not marked. Just taking a second to orient the figure and the parts then comparing to the pics on the box was all I really needed.

It was an enjoyable build that has added a unique figure to my collection at a price I'm happy with

ENABLER WARNING the kit comes in three different colors for all your Prime needs

So I just realized I'm not a good friend...

MORE BOX!!!!

That set does look wicked! I saw the Emgo review, and I think he cautioned us about the combined mode and how it is pretty unstable (I think), just a warning!

And wait... 3 colors

Well I disagree

Glad you enjoyed all the boxy goodness of the box's box shots.


Psssst.... hey buddy!

Yup and yup and yup.

BAM

If I didn't have him combined, I would consider that set for Battle Core Prime.

But I love the head sculpt so much on that figure, so maybe not.

MGSV wasn't really doing it for me. Too open too loose. I need to see if I own a digital version on the PSN and play the original again.

I saw some pics while searching for above images and it gave me all the wants.

That was excellent stuff, and you totally did not sell me on the set. Thanks! One less thing to ummm about.

Glad I could help. It's a neat kit, but not a must have by any means.

Haven't seen you round these parts in a minute. Has that been your shadow I've seen out of the corner of my eye? Howdy?

No, that was another of my deadlines, I'm sure.

Ah, boo *thumbs down emote* we need one of those btw

Sweet avatar, somehow I think I actually caught the thread where that came to life and got a chuckle out of it when I saw you using it

That would be our young Lupine of Bronze's doing! Va'alvatron lives.

I'm 'being promoted' to co-editor of the magazine I 'work' with, which means preparing some documentation, plus plenty of deadlines, plus odd jobs, plus family, plus herding news crew does not a lot of time leave.

Pester Burn so he can pester Ryan for a thumb down. Or just for the lulz.

Wow, busy guy herding cats and such. I see some quote marks on that "promotion", is that an e-zine or something I could find in the states? I though print was dead

I miss the "old days" of magazines, specifically game mags. There was something special about having to wait an entire month for news and pics. I enjoyed pouring over the pages all month, reading the articles I haven't gotten to yet. Good times

I'll go hit Burn on IG for a thumbs down, that should work wonders

Maybe a quote emote as well

HI GUYS!


Just BEARly making it through another busy day.

Thear, thear.

I'd definitely like to get ino modifying/fixing my TFs -- I just haven't yet. The last time I was even close to this was putting on Fort Max's stickers!

Perhaps when I can do these mods and make a kid-project out of it, more could be done...! As it is, it already takes me days to take pics to formulate a post!

I have yet to play MGSV either, and I loved all the previous games. I'm going over to my friend's tonight and hopefully finish off RE7! Unless we get distracted playing hacked games on his Nintendo Classic...

WAIT A MONKEY FIGHTING MINUTE!

Funny story. I dropped a chunk of my banana in my coffee this morning. Now my shirt has coffee on it.
