I had this figure planned for MONTHS... since before June.
I saw a STAR Force 2-pack at a TRU back then, on sale (yay!) so I picked it up with the intention of using him as Cobra De A?o. I procrastinated a bit before trying out the dye. Initially, it didn't work too well... so I was determined to try again. Unfortunately, the later bath (which had to wait until I got enough more parts to dye since it's a long process) was a mistake, mostly by my fault. I left the heat on too high, and he stayed in not only the longest, but in pieces. Everything on him warped except the head... Most of it isn't really that noticeable, but the torso is a mess. It went from _/ to being |_? in shape. Still, I painted it, if only because I was curious how it would look if I hadn't failed. I think it would've looked cool (although the yellow needs some more layers to hide the detail underneath).
While the figure itself, even if it had been a success, wasn't too much of a difficult project, I had the COOLEST idea for an arsenal for him that would've required enough work and dedication to make up for it. I'm keeping it top secret for now, so no one tries to steal my idea. :wink:
Does anyone have an extra one of these guys (is his name Vector? I never remember) so I can try again?
