This is a custom I've had a strange itching to do for a long time. I got a nice quality "Train team" combiner set from China several months ago. It was blocky and weak. I went to town adding articulation to- the shoulders- upper arms (rotating at bicep)- elbows- wrists- hands- head (on ball joint)- hips- upper legs (rotation above knee)- better knees (stock sucked)- feet (pivot at heel)Had a blast painting the bazillion details on the three trains; Thomas (blue) Percy (green) and Hiro (black)...Got some great bonus add-ons coming this week, gotta hit up the local train/hobby shop. More pics can be seen here :

yeah, right. lol. I can do fun stuff once in a while, no?

so let me get this straight..

 

frenzy rumble can make a great looking thomas the train engine combiner.. but hasbro can't even give us a decent classics/universe/generations combiner.

 

i think it's time for frenzy to start working for hasbro.

Hey of course! Pay no attention to me, I'm just jealous! :tflaugh

 

So did you have any problems with the quality of the plastic? I got a KO recently that I'd like to add articulation to but the plastic seems quite brittle and soft in places and I'm a bit concerned about cutting into it?

no, the plastic is surprisingly a good strong quality plastic. That and the fact much of it was reinforced with epoxy clay and new joints/parts.

I like them frenzy
