Yours truly will be attending the customizing class tomorrow, so we will have detailed pictures of the process, and a first hand account, but information from those attending today's is that the FunPub Exclusive Nightbeat mold (Energon Hot Shot remolded head) is being used.

No word on color scheme additions, or other details yet.

Safe trips to Botcon everyone!

You can see it in person if you're there, otherwise, I'll post a mini gallery.

I'm not sure how one will take the brightly colored Nightbeat and turn him evil without bathing him in darker colors, or simply adding evil deco stickers...

Should be fun.

I had no idea they offered kitbashing/customizing classes at Botcon. That's frickin' sweet!

That remolded head is pretty swell, and the paint deco looks boss on that toy.
I wonder what an "evil" one will look like? (Minerva?)

Except they would need to 'print' the mold in totally different colors than the original release, which has never been done at a customizing class, or there would be a heckuva lot of white/red paint applied...

Like I said it will be fun. Are you coming to class Dave?
