Custom Movie Transformers Leaderclass Brawl by pairadocs

You can tell which customs go the extra mile and which ones do not very easily. The detail on this Custom Leaderclass Brawl, for example, goes above and beyond simply repainting the figure. As pairadocs states in his listing:



"Brawl was cleaned up and his screw holes were filled in with a high-impact sculpting compound (Fixit Sculpt) and sanded smooth... you'd never know they existed (the two holes to open the battery compartment were left open though, so you can still get in there and swap out the two AA batteries he runs on when they wear out.) This results in a clean, complete figure that looks more like a "transformable sculpture" than a store-bought toy. I then prepped him and painted him from head to toe with high-quality model-grade acrylic paints... a COMPLETE repaint, incorporating actual military colors! The camouflage was done using an airbrush, for a nice subtle, realistic effect. The rest of the detail and weathering was done by hand, and the battle damage was done using various melty techniques... the end result? A Brawl that looks like he's seen a day or two (or in the middle) of serious battle!"

I am sure this will go for big money on eBay and if you are looking for an excellent piece of art from the movie, this Brawl is the one.
