That's what I was thinking, but I don't think I have the steady hand to cut around that pin without it getting all uneven. I guess I'll see how much the hip flap bothers me once I actually have the figure.

fwiw I haven't done the mod and it doesn't bother me at all. The flap is fine as it is, it just gets slightly better and probably closer to the designer's vision if you get the knife out.

There is not. Disappointingly your only option is the Action Toys Machine Robo Eagle Robo, which is like a very small deluxe.

There is a very good Cy-Kill from Action Toys. Deluxe Bike Robo (regular Bike Robo doesn't include the Cy-Kill face, is smaller and more fragile, and is more pastel in color).

Nice pics! Mind if I ask what setup you use?

Thanks! A couple years ago a few Gunpla goons ended up getting the same light box, an ESDDI 24". It doesn't look like it's available on Amazon anymore, but this looks almost exactly the same, so it's probably just a case of rebranding. It's ridiculously fast & easy to set up and stows away easy. The only downside is that the backdrops can be dust/pet hair magnets, so (at least for the black one) it's a good idea to wipe them down before shooting.

I've got that one and the Bike Robo. They're not bad at all. Comes with maintenance gantry things, a base, and a stand.

Not a Masterpiece, but very good at that scale.

Shattered Glass Flamewar showed up today, and she's very good-looking. I didn't get the design when it was Legacy Prime Arcee because I still have my first edition Prime deluxe, but with the flame deco and expanding the front wheel behind the shoulders to give her a different silhouette this is a very good looking figure, especially wielding Firedrive as an axe. Haven't yet worked out how best to pose her with the birdie as a bow, but I've not had my hands on her for long.

Yep, they’re even combiners, although their combined modes are kind of trash.

I wasn't going to get Legacy Galvatron. I don't need Legacy Galvatron, honestly. Galvatron's cool and all, but Legacy Galvatron is way too m- £30 loose in my local nerd shop? Score!

God he's gorgeous isn't he. Just perfect. I could maybe do with some more weapon ports, maybe one on each leg, but no, it's fine, he's incredible. You still have plenty to do this.
