Question about SS86 Optimus Prime, which sounds trivial, but is actually important to me: is it light grey plastic or white plastic on his hips and upper legs?
The upper part of the legs is white but the connection to the torso is a light grey

So has anybody received their SS86 Megatron from Pulse? Because here it is a month after it's so-called ship date and mine still hasn't shipped.
I don't have them out where I can confirm at the moment, but IIRC it's a keyed peg, where the peg has a rectangular protrusion on one side, and the hole on the other piece has a matching slot. I.e. it's a peg/hole connection where they only fit together in one orientation, and you can't rotate it. So even if it's a standard 5mm peg size, it still won't go in a standard 5mm hole unless you cut off that protrusion.Can anybody with the High Moon Seeker mold tell me how the two parts of the mace attach? Is it a standard 5mm peg or some other method?
I see. I have a few 5mm port handle extenders and I was wondering if they’d work woth the maces since the heads are pretty but the way they did the handles are garbage.I don't have them out where I can confirm at the moment, but IIRC it's a keyed peg, where the peg has a rectangular protrusion on one side, and the hole on the other piece has a matching slot.

So I finally got the DNA kit in for SS86 Galvatron. I still hate the idea on principle, but it largely does what I was hoping it would.Second, he's too tall. In principle, I'm good with him being a bit taller than Optimus. Being visibly bigger than Galvatron though is something I really dislike. I can't believe this got me to order the DNA Galvatron kit for hugging leg extensions of all things.At least I'll finally get a good G1-toy gun for him.
I guess Galvatron's torso was inspired by Pat Lee:The one place where the kit doesn't quite work out as well as I'd hoped is at eye level. Galvatron's head now sits higher than Megatron's by about the same amount it used to sit lower. I hadn't realized until doing this comparison how much higher Galvatron's chest extends above his shoulders. It's almost like he has an extra long neck, despite not having a neck.![]()
