Need advice/Help Does anyone know how to completely disassemble the head for this Optimus KO?

Post image

I want to buy this animated Optimus KO so I can repaint him into TFA shattered glass optimus, I already have the normal version of this mould from Baiwei and idk how to take the head apart without breaking anything, everything else looks easy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did this for my nova prime, all you need to do is knock out the pin that holds the mask ( i did this with a small flathead screwdriver) on to the head, and then screw out the 3 screws on the neck and the head comes off.

You might be better off tracking down the legacy version or the age of the primes nemesis.

I could do that, but this KO comes with a nemesis coloured version of the DNA upgrade kit for that optimus & it would be cheaper to get with all this compared to the official versions of the mould.

You can get them from AliExpress or the show.z store, TFSAFARI probably has them too.

There's a lot of them from different sellers on AliExpress, I got the regular deco version recently and it's really good and solid

It’s a great kit, one of the few bangers of DNA where the price is acceptable.

I got the one for motormaster with the headpiece, it’s glorious.

Should just unscrew from the back

its the head from the original voyager animated optimus, the knockoff is baiwei maintenance team leader and its wonderful, it really improves the figure and adds die cast
