Howdy,
My interest in Transformers figures has returned with the Siege and Earthrise toylines, and now I've been bitten hard by the urge to start customizing figures (new paint, making new heads & other body parts).
Have you felt the urge to do similar with any Transformers, or have you already done so? If so, which figures/characters?

I really like the Siege figures. The Earthrise Optimus is one of the best Optimus' in a long time I think!
I would love to do more customizing. I'm usually pretty reluctant to anything like that to any of my stuff though. I am not terribly crafty, and I have really trembley hands, which makes doing things like painting miniatures, applying small stickers, and so on really challenging. I do put on stickers though. Mainly on 3rd party figures because they don't have any of the logos and whatnot. What I would really like to do is do some weathering on my Transformers and Diaclone figures. That's something I need to work on on other, cheaper stuff first though to make sure I know what I am doing when I do it.

Oh boy, it has been a loooooong time since I have played my guitar. I probably should get back in to it. I was never very good at it. I struggle with hand positioning for chords. I can get my hand set for one chord, but then I have to move to a second one and it is a mess. Especially power chords, my hand just does not like being in that position.
I'm glad you like the videos! I have to tag them as 'for kids' which has a lot of restrictions on it. So the comments are always turned off. So there is no feedback that way. If you have any please share.
Because of the stay at home order here in Washington the only table I can do it on has been commandeered by my and my roommates work from home equipment. So there likely won't be new ones for a while unfortunately (I had felt like I was getting some momentum finally...)

I hear you on that! As a former player, myself, with a parent who longs for me to take it up again (I dropped it when my old one got warped due to accidental heat/cool storage next to a fireplace), every once in a while I'll fiddle with one they were given by other family. But I never really do anything with it.

Yeah, that makes sense! I'll try to remember to drop off comments here!
(I'm bad at, like, memory, though, so... sorry, if I forget!)

Oh no! ... that's a shame. I know how that can be.
