Transformers Custom - Ironhide Voyager Movie Figure by digitalworld40

Arriving on Earth at the same time as Optimus Prime, Jazz and Ratchet, Ironhide's protoform lands in a swimming pool. Ironhide quickly sneaks away to the driveway, scans a family's GMC Topkick pickup truck and reconfigures his alternate mode to a new camouflaged form (though before he does, he is seen by a little girl who believes him to be, of all things, the Tooth Fairy) before meeting up with the other Autobots at Bumblebee's location.

digitalworld40 brings us closer to the Transformers Movie figure with his custom Voyager class Ironhide. He gives us a glimpse of how he brought Ironhide to life:

"This figure has been repainted to match his on screen counter part. He has multiple points of articulation, and he transforms just like the store-bought one. Instructions are included because these figures can be hard to figure out. This figure has also been sealed so that you can pose him to your hearts content. But keep in mind this is a custom and no custom is perfect so be careful when posing him. The details in his face really bring the character to life and must be seen in person! Iron Hide will look great on your shelf next to the rest of your collection as an accurate portrayal of the movie character."

The attention to details are what makes some customs stand out more than others. For example, the silver detailing on the Autobot symbol on the tailgate of the truck adds a nice touch and really makes the symbol stand out. digitalworld40 sets this figure apart from the original Hasbro release in many other ways. Adding silver detailing to the rims, exhaust, bumpers, and door handles really makes the truck mode shine. In robot mode, much care was taken to replicate the face of Ironhide to match the Movie version. The original version looks lifeless compared to the fine detailing of this custom (see comparison below).

As they say, pictures do speak louder than words so be sure to check out the rest of the detailed pictures on his auction page on eBay for this superb Custom Ironhide Transformers Movie Figure. If you want to check out other Custom Transformers, head over to eBay!
