I contacted the guy and the measurements didn't quite fit. Even then the shipping to Europe would have been absolutely horrendous.

Hmmm, now making me think if someone could do a mink stole and a wide brimmed hat for MP Black Arachnea (or deluxe Slipstream) to be a femme fatale.

Yeah, but that hat isn't available anymore and I haven't been able to find another option. Not even something 3D-printed.

Sorry to ping this thread but did someone ever find a nice hat to go with the trenchcoat?

It can, but the spoilers have to be removed. They just hold in place with friction. And the window decals have to be removed, or there will be a silver square on the hood.
I don't transform my figures though.

Take it it can't transform with the changes?

If he looked like that, I would have ordered him instantly.

I love this guy, but it always bothered me they made his legs the front of the car instead of the back. So I finally decided to fix it. I put this off after Xtransbots announced Conan. But who knows when that will be released.

If this helps any, heres a picture of Athena with some WFC voyagers. Both molds are the same size.View attachment 29429119

Thanks. I couldn't find any pics of Nite Walker next to MMC stuff. Anyone else have a pic of Nite Walker next to any Hasbro deluxes or voyagers?

I take it you're referring to size?
I don't have the figure myself also because I wondered about size, but for a different reason: I wanted to use him alongsize the Fansproject headmasters. Made a pic request . Turns out the figure is about a head taller than a FP headmaster and a FP Headmaster is about a head shorter than MMC Rodimus.
I've also seen other posts like by Sixo, that show it to be about carbot sized. And that's again about the same size as MMC Rodimus (hence why sizewise MP Skids works for a IDW collection).
So, yes. I think he fits in size wise.
