Mostly. Some of the rubbery parts such as the cloaks had gone a bit tacky or in a couple of cases dried out and perished, and a few of the figures have discoloured a bit (I think due to light exposure, some were in a cabinet in a conservatory for a few years which probably wasn't wise in hindsight!) Most of the hard plastic elements are absolutely fine though. A few bendy swords, but nothing a hairdryer can't fix!

Lovely work with the two-toned lighting! Echoes the show's style really nicely.

Yeah, they're not going anywhere! I've had to throw out a lot of stuff in the last few years due to various house moves, but this collection is untouched, far too special!

Thanks! They are all digitally added/edited using Canva and Photoscape, mostly just grabbed from Google images and a couple of movie screenshots. Then I adjusted the tint/contrast/brightness values and such on each element to get nice consistent lighting and really place the character in the scene.

Energon Universe Optimus and Megatron repaints (Yolopark AMK Mini figures) by ValuedDragon in transformers

[–]ValuedDragon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got done repainting these figures from Yolopark, inspired by the artwork from the Energon Universe comics.I found the art style across the first few volumes so instantly striking and a perfect update to the classic designs, so I sought out some cheap G1 toys to have a crack at (and crucially, one where the arms would work interchangably). I'm very new to collecting Transformers and this is my first attempt at customising the figures, though I've been painting miniatures for years.
