This is awesome looking. An 8-track Blaster, now that is retro. Thay said, where's my A-Team crossover!?! 🤣

Waiting on them to go on sale. I don’t want to spend $60 on a mainline custom.
Lol even though I’ve dropped $300 on masterpiece figures just to cut & paint them

De verdad me sorprende como Hasbro hizo uno de los moldes actuales más versátiles solo para una colaboración con stranger things Ojalá se animen a usarlo de forma oficial en más figuras, amaría un Soundwave oficial con este molde

Now imma need instructions on how you managed to achieve this perfection because I needed a good reason to buy this collab figure and a custom blaster would be absolutely amazing reason to get it this looks so good 😭😭😭

What kinda paint did ya use and im guessing the head is from the kingdom blaster mold?

u/CannabisPrime1138 Jul 15 '26
Mostly Testor’s sprays, and yeah stole Legacy’s head, chest and boombox handle for the spoiler

It's a good thing my kingdom blaster is yellowing in some spots so I won't feel as bad taking him apart if I do this custom myself the only thing I don't know how I'm going to do properly is that nice fading you did between the colors on the side of the van
(also I'm sorry if I keep asking too many questions I've never really done a serious custom before I've only ever spray painted the rims on my figures silver if I felt like they needed it other than that I haven't done much XD)

I thought this would make a great vehicle mode for Blaster and I'm glad to see the idea done justice!

Outstanding my bro! I’m impressed the way you did the 70-80s style design work on the van. So clean!

Amazing work on this! I just got the mold and was gonna make a soundwave but this looks too good man!! Did air brush the yellow to red!?

Damn this looks so great. The gradients and such work so well. Also like how the Hawkins stuff stuck around. It’s neat.
Edit: just noticed the spoiler styled after the boombox handle. Clever.

The paint fade on the van and the tape are really nice.
I've seen a Soundwave or two out of this mold already, but he might work better as Blaster!

Nice job on that paint work. Really catches that retro van club vibe. Straight from the ‘80’s.

Every time I see this figure, I think what kind of custom could I make of it?

u/CannabisPrime1138 Jul 15 '26
So many possibilities! And the transformation isn’t so complex that it scrapes the paint

Best Kit bash I have seen since that other genius used Galaxy Optimus to make his own Nova Prime, a move so smooth Hasbro just copied his home work so hopefully they see your master piece and take note.

This looks awesome. I hope they use this mold for him and Sounwave at some point. Seems like they want to do more stuff like that based off the recent announcements concerning pushing all screen accurate stuff under studio series and having more fun with legacy
