The best boogie down beach comber in the bot business friends, he is finally here, Legacy Evolution Deluxe Minibot BeachComber and his fine feathered forest friend Paradise Parakeet are ready to be maxing and chillaxing in your TF collection.

I had mentioned in the livestream, we made sure to put PVC, a rigid and flexible plastic like rubber, for the dune buggies tires. As a kid, I was absolutely fascinated with the way the rubber tires on the G1 figure’s rolled so well and it was cemented in my brain as a must for this figure. It also opened up the possibility to get the 5mm posted bird in the mold which, obviously, brought a huge smile to my face. It just really highlighted the light hearted nature loving character BeachComber is.

On the flipside, BeachComber is an autobot who is essentially ready for battle, I had always envisioned a cool machine gun on top of the dune buggy due to my love for GIJOE. With the Evofusion capability it also provided an opportunity to add in a gloss blacked out grill that makes the front of the vehicle look alot more fierce and complete.

Its always a pleasure working with Shuhei Umezu san, his abilities and ideas I feel work very complementary with mine. We have some really insane figures we are working on now that are really making my head spin!

To note, I did do some extra rounds of making sure the head sculpt was right, the POTP (power of the primes) toy had this soul patch sculpted on its chin which always confused me.

Oh, one last thing, the g2 metallic green version has been a desktop bot for a very many years, no clue if we will be able to do one but I might just get back in the spraybooth and do one for myself. Not sure Ill be able to replicate the vacmetal but “Oh My! Ba ba bu bud du bee its paradise”
