THe price for the full set is 26 USD (as per The Site) and the head fits perfectly well into jet mode. Resin is just a dyfferent type of plastic really, slightly more rubbery and slightly more coarse, which makes it easier to paint. I'm no chemical engineer though, so I don't know the exact differences. Mrs Counterpunch would have to help with that.

Nailed it! I'll take one of everything. Especially Blaster and Megs. I'm going to have to pick up the second batch of this kit. Anyone know how to order? Can't find it on his page.Mkall wrote:Rated X wrote:Looks nice...so how much is the price ??? and can he transform back to jet with the new head or must it be removed every time ???

Yeah, I am not sure how it's made but it is definitely sturdy enough for collectors. And even transformation if done carefully. I have a Cliffjumper upgrade kit made of resin and I have never had a problem with it.

Contact him via e-mail. I would really like the Blaster upgrade. I know I will use the upcoming (finally!) release of Device label Blaster as my Neo-G1 Blaster, but that set could make it worth me keeping the Universe one around too.
Mkall wrote:The Weapons: The kit comes with 2 long rifles. These rifles fit very smoothly into and out of Skyfall's hands. They also can attach into the hand-holes left visible in the jet mode so that Skyfall has side-mounted cannons. This method of attachment is very loose, at least it is on mine. One would have better results folding the hands out and attaching the rifles into the exposed fists, but it would lose some of the sleekness of the altmode.
The Head: Someone once said that the face makes the man. I don't know if that's true or not, but it certainly makes the robot. The assembly process is very easy; remove screw, remove head, attach visor, attach head, insert same screw into new head. I'm not a mechanical genius by any stretch of the imagination, but if I can do it, then so can you. After looking at the yellow vs the red visor on the robot, I decided to use the red one. It's much darker and leaves a more sinister appearance. The back of the head is solid, so no ambiant light can illuminate the face; so if your collection room is darker, perhaps the yellow may be a better choice. In the end of course it's your choice. The head looks cool with detailing that shows some stubby antenne on the side and a nice crest and fine detailing around the "mouth" for lacok of a better term. Being resin however it's not a perfect fit. I had some initial trouble in getting everything to line up just right, and there's still a little seperation, but it's hidden behind an antenna, so it's fine. It also doesn't turn as smoothly as the previous head. It's a little loose to turn the 60 degrees around the front, and then tightens up if you want him to look over either shoulder. Possibly assembly error, possible molding error, I can't say 100% either way. The head looks nice, but I get the feeling that if I turn it too far either way, it may break. I also get the feeling that it may be the first thing to go should Skyfall take a spill. But it is resin, so it really should be left for display as much as possible. Overall the character change is very noticable and in my oppinion, this is quite an improvemnt.

That would be cool, I'd be interested in at least the gun and guitar for DL Blaster, not sure that he needs a new head, I'll have to go double-check.
