so which transformer(s) in your collection has the worst paint job, and that you are seeking to have a custom paint job on it.

A lot of the movie toys. Maybe I'm just spoiled by toys like Marvel Legends, but damn, the movie toys look like crap (the sculpts are great, but paint is little or simply not there)

So far, the new 08 Bumblebee easily takes the cake. The paint on his alt mode is just hideous.. He's still a kickass figure, though...

Does Testors make a yellow that will match '08 BB's yellow? Like you said, his paint aps look pretty sloppy. I don't have him yet...

Other than that, I can't think of any TF's that I do have that have bad paint jobs worth noting.

Pretty much everyone of the first generation Beast Wars figures had terrible paint jobs.

It has to be the Leader Class Megatron. What the hell happened there?

by **Cyber-Kun** » Sat Jul 21, 2007 2:38 am

Yeah, out of all the recent movie toys, Leader Megatron definitely takes the cake. I'd shell out a little more cash if it meant nicer paint apps
Also, looking through my Beast Wars, yeah, some of the first wave was bad, but still dosn't seem as much as the movie toys, maybe because there's so much more detailing in the movie toys.

THANKS! You are da' man! :cool:

You guys are probably right, Leader Megatron in the movie line is rather bad in his paint apps.

by **Optimus Schtool** » Sat Jul 21, 2007 2:58 am

Yeah--I second that--forgot about leader Megs..

Its A Real Nit-Pick On My Part. The Doors On Movie Ratchet Don't Match The Color Of The Rest Of The Plastic and Its Killing Me. I Haven't Bought One Yet Because Of It, But I Mean If They Are All Like That Then I Guess I Will Just Have To Touch It Up Myself.

actually all of them have some paint issues if your not going to choose carefully and even unleashead bb got some minor issues hasbro needs to fix this! it's just that they do quite good already on scult, articulation and accesories they just need to foucs more on quality especially paint... :-?
