This is my first Human Alliance TF toy and I bought it at a sale price of 1,000 Php. I always liked the Human Alliance series, although I find them a little bit expensive. I have a handful of Transformers ROTF Movie voyager class toys that I would love to repaint too. And I also have a couple of Leader class in Optimus and Megatron, but would not dare to paint those yet.
After painting the NECA 12" Kratos, I feel confident enough that I could now pull off a decent TF repaint using Citadel and Vallejo paints. I decided to paint this Skids figure other than my voyager class toys as I really like the details and the size of this toy. Not too big and not too small.
The details of the figure is excellent! It's like almost getting the Leader Class figures and the transformation is almost as difficult and complicated. Although I have most of my TF toys in car modes, I plan to never transform this after my repaint and maybe, just maybe create a simple custom base for it and display it like a Gundam model kit.
The Human Alliance Skids came with an ugly Mikaela figure and a nice super easy to transform Arcee. I am not sure if the Arcee details and looks are faithful with the ROTF movie, thus I have no plans of painting it, I will just play with it together with the Mikaela figure.
Anyways, I needed these photos for my usual before and after comparison pics, but I took a lot of photos to serve as a some sort of review of the toy. Now here are some pics...
Thanks for dropping by! Til' next update! :)

Nice collection, bro. Don't know why when I look at Skids face, I can imagine it was a face of zombie mickey mouse.... XD
Agree! hahahaha, looking forward to painting it's ugly face! XD
hmmm. the thing that lingers in my mind is that, how to remove each parts for painting, i'm afraid to break or snap it
Same problem here bro... so I will just mask some parts while painting. :)
