Just accquired a loose 88' shockwave and 89' rock n roll, I'm currently building dio's for them. I was going to give them repaints, should I or keep them as they are?

Second that sucks that you got flamed :-( They are your figures do whatever the hell you want with them I say, even if it mean playing Sid from "Toy Story" and rocketing them to the damn moon! Anyways, are you thinking about painting them because you have an idea that you think will enhance them in your eyes or are you thinking about painting them just for the sake of painting them be it for practice or something to do. I generally never paint or mod something unless I have a clear idea in my head that I can improve on it. I dont tend to do projects just because or for practice, every project is just because and practice and because I have an idea in my head. You might want to pick up some newer figures if you are just wanting to fool around but like I said first thing, its your party, rock it like you wanna! |

There are hardcore collectors in here? Atleast there don't seem to be any here in customs...with what goes on in here, I think we'd know...
Whoever flamed you, report 'em to the moderators of that forum. We have some outstanding mods in here...you are here to enjoy the site not be abused by people... |

You're asking for opinions so here's mine. I can't stand the thought of destroying the vintage stuff. When we paint them and such they go from being twenty something year old collectibles to being messed up junk. I mean that's how they are then perceived from then on. If you were looking at a lot on ebay and it was some vintage guys that somebody had painted, you would probably see it that way.

Well thank you all for your support! This site is awesome! Thank u again! I'm turning both figures into modern versions of their character, like a Detroit swat " door kicker" with swat uniform colors for shockwave and for Rock n roll I want to start with ACU's as an support infantry man.
