Action Figure Makeover: Optimus Prime
Despite having briefly, previously played figural tabletop games, I never actually painted the figures. My first figure customization is something I hope to remember for the rest of my life. This project is something I've been toying with for a while, and I'm glad to see it turn out so well. I'm hoping to make Action Figure Makeover a continuing series, vamping up the superstars of the toy world as I go. Eventually I want to include matching accessories like purses and maybe hats.
This Action Figure Makeover I completed a pink, purple, and red edition of Optimus Prime. It was a fairly time consuming project between hunting down toys, buying paint, painting, waiting for paint to dry, painting more. My hope is to furrow a few brows in the Transformers community. I had a great time working on this, and I hope that shines through in the article.

Awesome! He's beautiful!!!
Also, you're right. There were never a lot of girly transforming robots. However, I swear I once saw the coolest thing ever: A Sailor Moon Gundam.
On G Gundam (back in the 'day') they featured Gundams from every country ever and one pilot had this Gundam that looked so suspiciously like Sailor V I nearly pissed myself. It had a tiara trick, too. I've been looking for the model kit ever since.
Still, your Optimus is more pertier.

Oh my god, Mystie -- this is freaking blasphemous. It's also bloody fantastic! I shudder to think what would happen if you ever got your hands on a Megatron figure.

I would SO buy that Optimus Prime off you if I could. He's just amazing in his pretty new colors!
