Okay, so, hear me out…
since rotf Gears was a repaint of 2007 movie Stockade, i thought it appropriate to geewunnify Stockade by using Gears.
I always love this style of "but what if this character had been in G1" style imaginary repaints/remolds. It's so fun to take a modern design and try to think of what simplified features on an 80's die cast toy would have inspired them.
I'm late to the party here, but I don't like renders. I like waiting for stock photos of the physical toy.
That actually looks way better to me than Gears.
Puffer should have been the Huffer mold in more-or-less Pipes' colors, but instead used the Pipes mold, so there's isn't much Huffer in the Puffer. In the end, very few houses were blown in.
I mostly only got the set for Road Ranger; so I ended up just making Puffer into SG Pipes as I don't really have a a desire for Puffer that isn't done right and I doubt we'll ever get an actual SG Pipes.
Puffer was close enough for me. Honestly I prefer that the two toys in the pack used the two different available toolings. I also love that all 4 uses of that basic mold have different headsculpts. It really sells them as unique characters.
