Very brief review of AOE Voyager Prime and Grimlock

[dingd0ng]

What would you use to put a mask on prime? I would be interested to learn as I want to put one on my BH Prime.

Thanks for the review, good one too. Still not quite sold on the AoE line yet.

Grimlock, not really good in either mode. Maybe my mods and repainting will improve it, but not holding my breath. Gonna try a few ideas I have in mind

The color thing is what's putting me off I think, but saying Optimus Prime was too red and blue sounded dumb when I typed it, lol

I plan on just using super sculpey for his mask, that's it. Give it some edges and as much detail I can, but nothing fancy.
I'm also not sold on the AOE line. Of the 2 I have, it's 50/50. One I love (prime), the other I will modify and repaint and possibly love (grimlock). The deluxes didn't look to...interesting. Aside for wanting Dinobots, I dunno how I feel yet about AOE. Prime however, this one I like. The pics of the other leader 5 step version does not interest me. Evasion mode Prime though, colours a bit off-putting I agree, but as a figure, I mean lets see what Takara does. Maybe their version will clean up what this one is missing. For me, it's the figure and that I collect Primes, but in this case I just really like this figure.
