Description Rather than wait and buy the Takara version, I just grabbed one of these at Wal-Mart and repainted it myself to be more comic accurate.
I also lengthened her heels a bit so she balances right and can stand well in more natural and more extreme poses.

How did you lengthen her heels? Did you use epoxy sculpt or something of the like?

I cut a groove down the middle of her heel from the bottom, then made extensions from sculpt that fill the grooves so it is solid when cured. Then once it was cured I sanded the heels to be smooth so the sculpt was flush with what was already there, and painted them black.

her alt mode is really helped more by the added red, it makes her shins look much less blatant.

Yeah you can tell like so many transformer figures, the designers had the right idea but whoever is in charged of color placement is a failure who should definitely be fired. It not hard to put the colors in the right places, and accuracy to what something is supposed to be is important.

yeah, I'm going to do something like this for my Strongarm figure, not only is her vehicle mode so underpainted that it looks like a playskool toy, her color placement in robot mode is totally off!  Her show model shows her being mostly white with some blue highlights but the toy is mostly blue, especially on her head where it is most noticeable.

Personally I'm skipping that entire series. Not watching the show or buying the figures.

Just be careful when you remove her fan from the back of her head- you HAVE to wiggle it back, not pull it; otherwise, it'll break, according to the TFWiki. Just a heads-up there.

I have no intentions of removing it, but thanks.
