The First thing I want to do with Victoreon is to put Jihaxus in front of her and then put them both under a blacklight together.

I think I can break the spectrum of known colors that way.

I'm pretty sure your eyes will liquefy then spray out of your head when you bring that much garish together.

Dear Windblade, you are a terrible Transformer. You refuse to hold together in altmode, you barely stand up in robot mode. Your scabard has vanished... somewhere because it refuses to actually stay in the leg hole for it. That is all.

I've sunk so much future shine into her. She almost works now. Soon to add more. I think that scabbard would need magnets or something though.

The red pointed bits at the sides of her feet count as a balance point too. With 3 of these touching the surface then you just have to balance the upper body, like if it was some sort of tripod.

Sorry. :ohdear:

You can angle her heels (floor wax if they're loose, obviously) and get some good poses. I've got mine in a two handed samurai hold at the moment, but I'm not at home.

Can't speak to the tabbing together (X-Acto knife and/or floor wax usually works for me) but you shouldn't use her leg hole for the scabbard if/when you find it.

Use the back hole, the one on the fuselage.

I had a dream last night that I broke my Combiner Wars Sunstreaker's leg and I couldn't glue it because it broke at the ball joint and therefore could not transform after it was glued.

and then I woke up and realized I don't even have a combiner wars Sunstreaker.

To be fair I was just addressing the poseability/stability complaints, not denying that she's kinda light for a deluxe (she totally is). I wasn't aiming to fool anyone with the angles, she really is standing on her own in the pics and I shot from an angle that looked good to me.

I'm also apparently very lucky because mine had tight joints all around out of the package - no need for floor polish - and holds together fine in altmode adn the scabbard plugs decently into her hip too. I think her colors and paint apps are more than adequate, particularly the head and weapon fade effect.

I was just razzing with the "MySpace angle" joke; I certainly don't think you were being deceptive. I had the same experience with her that you did-- I owned a relatively decent one until I got tired of its inadequacies and sold it. Like a lot of transformers, it's definitely a matter of "what kinds of flaws are you cool with?"
