I see you snagged yourself Peckster there, Will!

The transformation was a bit scary. I also succeeded in making the bot mode, but no way am I going to pull on the legs to finalize the transformation. He shall remain a midget.
May I suggest dismantling him and sanding/filing the joint surfaces down to reduce the friction enough to be able to transform him without it taking much force? That's what I did with mine. Probably also be a good idea to use a bit of matchstick or something as reinforcing filler for the neck.w

This will be a hard custom to do. Especially because of the sticker details that needs to be copied by hand with paint.
Wish me luck.
Maybe you could lend your actual G2 Slingshot to Toyhax, or take scans of the wings if you've a flatbed scanner and send those to them, so that they can finally get their butts on doing some G2 labels already.
So, this happened yesterday.
$35 plus $14.65 shipping, for a total of $53.24 after tax. Not
quite as good a deal as the win-turned-refund because of the costlier shipping (but OTOH it was 2-day shipping so that was nice), but still WAY better than what most listings for him are priced at.
No missiles or key, but those aren't immediately essential. No Death Machine Gun either, but I can just borrow the one that's with my Megatron (which is actually a Galvatron gun anyway).
