Description Finally got around to making BB into goldbug. Pretty easy besides the fact I wasnt happy with a stationary head. I removed BBs and resculpted it then added a ball joint neck.

First I boiled BB to make the glue holding his head in placeloose. I poopped that off and filled the head with sculpty. After it was filled a put a screw into the body where the neck should be. The head then was bored with a dremel to make a suitable port for the head of the screw. I then added some hot glue into the port and placed the head on the screw. Once the head is on you have to keep moving it so it doesnt stick in place. Then his head was moveable!

I love custom Legends. Such great work for such a small scale, especially the mods to the neck and head. Kudos! ^_^

Great idea! I got one of those figures, but the bubble is coming off the card, and since I like my TFs to be as mint as possible, I just might have to do this to it.

Well as a matter of fact I wouldn't mind a bit of advice; I'll take as much help as I can get. I haven't been to your website in a while, perhaps you could post it there if not here.

Thank you

Sorry but I got ya on this one. The is the Legneds version of BB that is about a 3" figure. Hasbro put out a bunch of the original Minibots in this form such as Beachcomber, cosmos, Brawn, and Wheelie.
