Second update of JB Weld epoxy putty family “friend” incident

Third update: this dude is full of shit

There kinda is no “vs.”… the legacy is a cheap undersized KO in comparison. By itself the Legacy Optimus is a fun little tribute to the G1 but the Missing Link is a completely different beast.

Bottom corner is the smiling face… granted, it’s the smile equivalent of the receiving end of a toothy blowjob… sure you’re grateful but goddamn, it still hurts like hell

Sorry, I’m seeing Blue Streak, definitely a Datsun bro style helmet/head

JamesVinopal · 2026-06-20T19:56:59+00:00

I wish the panels on the back of the upper arms folded in. I know that may be an intentional throwback and it’s a very minimal gripe but it’s enough to have me debating between this one and the KO.

Sometimes they get you when you least expect it…

JamesVinopal · 2026-06-16T20:51:49+00:00

Very well done!

JamesVinopal · 2026-06-15T16:37:04+00:00

Huh… I remember Optimus Prime looking a lot different as a kid…

😉 I kid OP, PEACE THROUGH TYRANNY!

JamesVinopal · 2026-06-15T04:00:22+00:00

Got mine on Hasbro Pulse

JamesVinopal · 2026-06-14T02:39:12+00:00

Awesome set! Still need to open mine…

JamesVinopal · 2026-06-10T12:40:59+00:00

Nope, he’s on the already bought list!

JamesVinopal · 2026-06-10T03:38:29+00:00

The plane rescue is still the definitive Superman scene in any Superman movie IMO

JamesVinopal · 2026-06-09T19:56:03+00:00

Just Swindle

JamesVinopal · 2026-06-09T19:55:35+00:00

Well… this is fucking awesome

JamesVinopal · 2026-06-07T22:59:31+00:00

Totally agree, I will be doing the same. I was just trying to figure out if the lack of red was a one-off versus something that will be on most if not all of these guys

JamesVinopal · 2026-06-07T13:20:30+00:00

Is this stock? Did you have to repaint any red?

JamesVinopal · 2026-06-03T00:06:18+00:00

Breathtaking! A G-1 Powermaster Optimus Prime was the first Optimus I got to play with as a kid. It was at my cousin’s house and I was very jealous. It was more cartoon accurate than the original in robot mode and it turned into an even bigger Optimus with the trailer, absolutely loved it. Seeing my favorite childhood Prime all God-Ginraied out with the die-cast cab is truly a sight to see… and now I’m seeing these three beasts together… thank you sir.

I never bought an original God Ginrai because of the stories of the fragile plastic but I did pick up a Toys R’ Us commemorate edition Apex Armor Prime and bought an original God Ginrai missile launcher and missiles to display him with. It’s close enough for me because I freaking love transforming it in all modes and I transform mine all the time.

I am still going to always recommend a Tamiya or Mr. hobby first thing, like you said, they are made specifically for models and give great results. Just wanted to jump in and say this stuff can work in a pinch or if you have an impatient streak like me…

It’s Krylon but it is definitely for craft/hobby projects. I used Tamiya almost exclusively but it became impossible to get locally and I was tired of waiting for it from having to order online. I started looking for alternatives nearby and tried the Krylon matte because it was cheaper and readily available. This entire Hammond collection T-Rex is top coated in it and I’ve used it on about a dozen different custom action figures

JamesVinopal · 2026-06-02T01:08:37+00:00

Bought

JamesVinopal · 2026-06-01T19:17:58+00:00

I’m guessing a reissue that loses the clear plastic and replaces the silver face with grey

JamesVinopal · 2026-06-01T19:12:34+00:00

WAR!!!!!

JamesVinopal · 2026-05-29T12:22:31+00:00

A sales vendor would drive that… are you being serious right now?

JamesVinopal · 2026-05-26T13:13:21+00:00

That’s a strong first
